About QuakeDC

QuakeDC is a Dreamcast conversion of id Software's Quake, ported by the small Australian software company Titanium Studios in early 2000.

It's based on GLQuake code and uses Windows CE's Direct3D libraries. Except for the missing network and buggy CDDA support, QuakeDC is a fully functional port, even allowing VMU saving.

"It represents about as far as we could go without modifying the content (which we couldn't distribute) or making significant improvements to the engine." - Jayeson Lee-Steere, Titanium Studios

To demonstrate the possibility of porting PC games to Dreamcast using Windows CE, QuakeDC initially was released to licensed Dreamcast developers along with the Windows CE development kit.

Titanium Studios later ported other games to Dreamcast that were released commercially, including Stupid Invaders.

HexQuake

HexQuake is a polished version of the original QuakeDC and comes with CDDA and VGA support enabled, modified WinCE libraries by Moi and lots of other features. It even allows to add mods like JoyMenu for use with the Quake Shareware.

JoyMenu

Developed with HexQuake in mind, JoyMenu v2.2 will enable you to configure and optimize QuakeDC for your needs without using a keyboard. It adds an intermission save system that needs only 4 VMU blocks to save your progress & configurations, and much much more.

Deathmatch

For this release Fragger compiled a huge set of more than 300 Deathmatch maps to play against JoyMenu's FrikBot X DC bots! We've reVised all of them to feature fully transparent water.

To start a DM, choose 'GAME' on the main menu, then begin a NEW GAME. Once the 'Introduction' map loaded, you bring up JoyMenu by pressing (Left) on the D-Pad. Then choose DEATHMATCH OPTIONS, then START DEATHMATCH.

Once you've entered the DM mode, you can switch to any of the maps by changing the number in the NEXT LEVEL option. The next map you'll be playing is the one you've chosen.
