Quake II homebrew released for DS
It took quite a bit of finagling, but the devs over at Drunken Coders have finally ported Quake II to the Nintendo DS. The homebrewed version contains the entire single-player game, and retains a number of fancy features like dynamic lighting, particle support, and a full ARM7 sound effects system.
According to the devs, creating Quake2DS was quite the audacious task, as the original Quake II had memory requirements that far exceeded the DS's limitations. As a result, the port will only run on flash carts with RAM expansions. Those willing to give it a go will find relevant instructions and files on the port's website.

Decadent layers of brown is how I'll remember and, whether it's warranted or not, all its subsequent sequels.
From the screenshot it looks like these people did a good job, though I won't be trying it out as I haven't got the ram expansion pack.

I also thought quake was too brown.. until I got a 3DFX Monster II and saw the game in all it's miniGL 16-bit texture glory.

I kinda remember it as having an awesome railgun.

Fuck... I love those berserkers... Hate the grinding sound they make... It's just so menacing.

Stop messing around with quake2 and get to work porting Jedi Knight to the DS.
Once I've got Dark Forces, Jedi Knight and all the Scumm games on my DS I really can die happy...

Homebrew.... the first reason I ever wanted an R4.
(no, I'm not a pirate)

Same here. Its becoming very tempting.
Genius @ Feb 12th 2008 12:13PM
You'd be a pirate if you got an R4 to play this. Not that I care, because I am a pirate. Arrrr

Look at all that tearing. Game cant hold a decent framerate. When will devs stop making these shitty ports.
