XScale Pocket Quake is available here - Boost 10 fps !!!

[Patrick]

Here you can download, my optimize XScale Pocket Quake Version 0.062 for:

- o2 Xda mini (This cool PDA Phone, i have tested my version with this.)
- T MDA Compact
- HTC magician
- i-mate JAM
- Qtek S100

What I have did in this XScale Pocket PC 2003 Version:
- I have mapped togglemenu to calendar key (Use it: bind "AUX1" "togglemenu" in cfg file).
- Instead 11 KHz it plays now with 22 KHz stereo sound and with less effect delay. It’s very cool with headset!
- I edited and compiled with Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0 and Intel C++ Compiler 2.0 for Intel XScale Microarchitecture.


Download it from here: http://www.herz-power.de/pq.php

My benchmark, without .cfg optimize files:
25,7 fps (timedemo demo1) - My XScale compiled optimize version.
27,2 fps (timedemo demo1 and nosound 1) - My XScale optimize compiled version.
16,5 fps (timedemo demo1) - Orginal Dan's version.
17,3 fps (timedemo demo1 and nosound 1) - Orginal Dan's version.

o2 Xda mini, free datastore: 6.7Mb, free programmstore: 26.5MB, cpu: intel xscale pxa272 416MHz @ 520 OC. Yes, its true!

I find it does run remarkably faster though I also notice the lower visual quality but the sound is good. The one problem I do have is since im on the X50v the side 2 buttos were exit and uhh.. something else. Well it seams with your build thoes no longer work so the only way I could exit out of menus is with my bluetooth keyboard (which has an unplayable ammount of lag. The quake 3 build has nothing of the sort)

[Patrick]

Ok, i have build a new version.
Try the second download from http://www.herz-power.de/pq.php
This version contain the network patch too, from this forum.


Thanks Dan, for you excelente work to convert Quake to PPC!

Greetings Patrick/ Germany

Not workin. even after i remap the key in the config file it still doesnt let me back out of menu's. (even read only its not doing what i set) Anyway can you restore the key combo that the origonal .exe used. Seams to be imbedded.

[Patrick]

Mhh, the second version (AUX5), use the same key compo as Dans orginal exe version!

[MONSTR]

Good work,Patrick!! Both quake now work remarkable fast!

I haven't a grafic acceleration chip on my PPC. So i spent not more time for OpenGLes. Quake2 with sound run now with 13Fps non my device, its ok for me if play it.

I don't understand - you are developing OpenGL-ES Q2 port??? If it's true - it's GREAT & you are my Angel! We all are waiting for such port! If you don't need it today (with no accelerator on your today's device) - it'll be useful in the near future - a lot of new WinMobile Devices with accelerators are anounced, and why wouldn't you make this port today? to use it on our next device? And All today's x50v/x51v owners (such me) would be happy:)

[Patrick]

I don't understand - you are developing OpenGL-ES Q2 port???

Nope, i dont developing a OpenGL-ES Q2 port. I try it, fast -> But don´t work. My PPC O2 XDA Mini is new, its two week old. I have then see Quake for PPC, i think goil.... But lame, so i fast install EVC++ and make it playable for me, not more. My next PPC is determines faster, maybe in two years...

Happy x-mas
Patrick

FUCK!
But can you upload sources of our PQ & PQ2 ports to our site? Have your edited the code much, or simply compiled Dan East's sources, using Intel C++ Compiler 2.0 for Intel XScale Microarchitecture? Mayby, with OGL-ES SDK (and there is much OGL-ES info at PoverVR site), I can do something useful, but my C++ programming skills are poor!

I have a Audiovox xv6600 (aka HTC Harrier, PDA2k, similar to HTC blueangel/Siemens sx66)

The optimized quake 1 port says playing demo1 in console, pauses, then immediately exits

The official version works fine (although at 9 fps landscape, which seems a bit slow)

Tried increasing free operating ram to >70 MB, still crashes

[Patrick]

Hi,

->congyiwu, it is optimized compiled for PXA-27x Bulverde processor, this use Wireless MMX Code. Your Audiovox xv6600 use a Intel Dalhart 400 MHz xScale PXA-263 Processor, without MMX!

But no worry, in the next Day, i will update my version with gamma brightness slider and a version without seeing by the wall slowly ~5fps (Overclock i reach ~30 fps), with support for PXA25x/PXA26x processors, i had test it and its ~0,1 Fps slowly.

->~>BEEF>}3@T3R]~, i have edited the code a little dirty, you can simply compiled Dan East's sources, using Microsoft embedded Visual C++ 4.0, ServicePack 4, Microsoft embedded SDK2003, Intel C++ Compiler 2.0 for Intel XScale Microarchitecture and I believe that was it, the you must include an headers, i have maybe include local in the same Pfad... It goes fast. i Havend my ppc few days, WindowsCE was new for me, but few hours its easy funny and i will play, then I had found pocketquake, but slow, so next Day download the source and EVC++.... my C++ programming skills are poor, too. I come from pur "C" corner, it goes, so its fine lern a little besides c++ with PocketQuake. I will relase the code later, in one Week on my page.


To all programmers:

I have a problem with function FindFirstFlashCard and FindNextFlashCard in common.c line ~1804. So FindNextFlashCard think my Storage Ram is a Flashcard, now i use only FindFirstFlashCard in the function:

Code: Select all

1  2	//loop=FindNextFlashCard(hFind, &fd); //Pat Workaround for "Speicherkarte". FindNext... has a bug?! loop=FindClose(hFind);
	2 lines; 0 keywds; 0 nums; 4 ops; 0 strs; 1 coms    Syntactic Coloring v0.4 - Dan East

So its work fine now with my SD-Card "Speicherkarte". Mhh its a bug in Microsoft project.h fuctions?


Little disturbs:
And on the play screen in Quake 1 and 2 the last row (Screen line) show garbage. Mhh i don´t find a bug, a have check sbar, malloc´s....but something it must be. for example the first Pixel is 0.0, but the in code count from 1.1 or so, I did not find.


bye bye
Patrick

So,

now my final an last versions QuakeI, Quake II with support for PXA25x/PXA26x/PXA27x processors, Windows CE 2003 compatible PPC with AUX1 or AUX5 key and the sourcen can download:
http://www.herz-power.de/pq.php

Pocket Quake I V.0.070
- I mapped togglemenu to calendar key (AUX1 Version - To use it: bind "AUX1" "togglemenu" in config.cfg).
- Instead 11 KHz it plays now with 22 KHz stereo sound and with less effect delay. It’s very cool with headset!
- Now, brightness adjustable!
- Saveing at storagecard (quake/id1/...), work fine with German Windows 2003SE version, now.
- Alternate .exe available without transparent Wall (Its a little slowly)
- Network patch is include.

Pocket Quake II V.0.12
- I have mapped togglemenu to calendar key (AUX1 Version - To use it: bind "AUX1" "togglemenu" in config.cfg).
- Orginal snd_win.c Sound with low and high quality - Attention, you must have about 26MB free RAM for high quality
- Saveing at storagecard (quake2/baseq2/), work fine with German Windows 2003SE version, now.

I hope i see a next version!

I wish all a happy new year!
Patrick

[congyiwu]

Great job.

It works great on my 6600 now.

400 mhz, portrait
original: 13.6 fps
your port: 21.2 fps

530 mhz, portrait
original 19.1 fps
your port: 31.4 fps

Its playable in landscape mode too now!

Thanks

...Pocket Quake I V.0.070...

Its seems, that D-Pad keys is hard assigned to the +forward, +back, +moveleft, +moveright and +attack. Because when i try assing to any button of D-Pad (leftarrow, uparrow, etc.) any other command - that button just stop working. If i assign +left on leftarrow - leftarrow just ignore this and continue to work as +moveleft. Is this can be fixed?
Thanks...

I have installed it in

\Storage Card\Quake2\quake2.exe
\Storage Card\Quake2\ref_soft.dll
\Storage Card\Quake2\game.dll
\Storage Card\Quake2\baseq2\pak0.pak

but i still get the error "couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx"

would it be posible for you to change the path to be relative to the .exe so ppl didn't have to install the pak files to a specific storage?

note: the dan's version still runs using the same pak0.pak file.

I get the same thing when trying to run quake with your exe.
