Quake Engine on the Nintendo Wii?

Hi there,

Does somebody here own a Homebrew Enabled Wii?
I have seen there is a port of WinQuake for the Wii (or maybe 2 Quake engines),
somebody played it? Does it run good (FPS, crashing, custom maps)?

I would have thought the wii could handle it. Then again, (I think) it only has like 64 MB ram and not too sure about the processor. However, we have a quake 3 port on the PSP 2000 which also has 64 MB ram, and it runs (slow, but still...) along with a quake 2 port. So, in my opinion, I could see it running without any crashes, in addition to pretty decent FPS and loading custom maps SHOULD be possible. When it comes to mods like Killer Quake Pack, or something large like that, then I could see it crashing, as I tried loading KQP on the Quake PSP port, but crashes after loading a map...

I used to have that Quake 1 port on the Wii and it ran quite well and I didn't experience any crashes. I didn't get to try out any mods unfortunately.

Also the Wii has 99 MB of RAM(which is an extremely odd number for memory). The processor is actually around the same speed as an XBox's or PS3's if the source I read is right.

Nintendo should really just slap some more RAM in and they would fix a lot of problems.

I agree with ya duke at at the same time, It'll cost them money to upgrade the wii. (witch won't be happening )

Thanks for the infos

I MIGHT get a used Wii soon and will try to port my little Quakemod to the Wii, but i need to modify the engine (add HLBSP support and some other stuff).

Its funny how the wii can handle games like the conduit and the conduit 2 but can't handle quake. -.-

The Conduit's engine was made specifically for the Wii. Most other FPS games are just ports. They work, but I doubt they are as efficient as they could be.

I have played The Conduit. It tends to freeze every hour. (I have no internet at my house if people are wandering, I'm at school.)

I just found a "Half Life Quake port" for the Wii.
I still dont have a Wii but i played it on the PC with Darkplaces and is looks ok.
The weaponmodels are messy, but it seems to be a nice mod for the Wii.

Sad this it doesn't work on PspGo

Why wouldn't it work on the PSP GO? I remember playing half life on the N1000 series. I didn't use a loader or anything. I've sold my go, but I do remember playing it on 6.20 TN-B (or TN-C). and it worked fine. I mean, TN A-E offered better support for homebrew than any version of PRO, while PRO is mainly for ISO's and PSX games. What CFW are you using? Also, the Go has the same amount of ram as the 2000 and 3000 series, so if for some reason it doesn't work, it could be a newer version of a motherboard for the PSP GO.

OMG Eeeee! I googled pspgo half life and NOW IM PLAYING IT

Still waiting for my Wii.
I already looked at the source of QuakeGX and it seems to support external textures (PCX and TGA) and skyboxes (gfx/env/sky***)...

The shotgun in the mod is still just 2 cylinders and a handle.

It should still be well within the standard Quake's engine limit. The engine has obviously been modified anyway.

I have tested some "high-poly" MDLs in the old WinQuake, and it doesnt cause problems. One MDL has 1728 tris.

But yes, you can change/remove the limit in the engine, its a work of 1 minute.
You can also use MD3 models in Darkplaces
