Hate to say it but Quake belongs on a computer period,anything else is a disgrace to the game

Why is DSQuake a disgrace? I don't get that.

EDIT: QuakeDS

Any game ported to any system is a great achievement. No game is *required* to run on any specific system, that is just your nostalgia talking =). Read the info on what Simon did to make Quake I run on the NDS, it is a very impressive and interesting. I personally enjoy playing Doom and Quake on my NDS more than I ever did on my PC. WIFI mode works for both (with some bugs) and I can play on the go, in the car, in the bathroom...

I think every game; including old retro gaming should be available on all counsels so that everyone can get their fix.

1. Only could use shareware
2. Only works in GBA cartridge emulating slot-2s (no FAT cards or slot-1)
3. Everything had to be "optimized"
4. Very thick "fog"
5. Choppy

QuakeDS, now that's something else, you can use the full version, it works on slot-1s, you could just use the pak files, fog isn't that bad, and it's full speed.

(DSQuake!=QuakeDS)

Hum never tried QuakeDS (only DSQuake), gotta try it when I got some spare time.

My apologies, had absolutely no idea there was a difference. Will change that in the future. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think that a PokeSav DS would be cool, save about fifteen minutes of getting the damn MicroSD out of my DS, plugging it in, etc......

Do you have some sort of mental disorder that inhibits your fine motor skills?

no, I'm just lazy.

no, I'm just lazy.

Try hosting your ROMs/content etc... through your router with apache. Then use DSO to download them. It will take A LONG time though.

Well by now most people have a computer or atleast know a friend or family member that does.....I've played the game for years on end at one point,did the whole quake clan thing as well.....my opinion is to get the full effect of the game(this includes online play) it must be played on a computer.....

 

[Urza]

no, I'm just lazy.

I'm imagining this 700 pound guy sitting in an executive chair taking 8 minutes to lift the all-heavy MicroSD from the DS resting on his stomach fat to the card reader thats sitting at an ever-so-far two feet away.

 

[FaRReR]

heh, you wish. on the other hand though, I'd like a program like DSFTP, except faster and easier to set up, e.g. always on, and possibly to access my computer and copy files to my MicroSD from the computer.
P.S. I'm not fat.

 

[techforumz]

Nothing anyone can do about the speed. The DS can't write stuff very fast. I think 16 Minutes per game is the average download time for a 32MB game.

I think you heard a window's emulator for DS as in No$gba. That's runnning DS on Windows.

He wants Windows on DS, not DS on windows.

Imagen Microsoft teamming up with Nintendo to make Windows DS for the DS. Since the DS has great sales, and alot of people all over the world have a DS, then Nintendo and Microsoft will get probably a lot of money with that. Bill Gates will get even richer.

it should have everything Windows has like getting into the internet, making Word documents, and other things you do on your computer, with using the touch screen as a new feature. It's just like your own computer. It would have probably have a DS card and a Slot-2 card to save everything in. Maybe it can support up to 15GB. I don't believe that it will have the storage space like a modern day computer (around 250-500gb). Price will definatly be over 100$. I don't think that it would happen but just imagen.....

Stupid idea. What GOOD windows program could the DS possibly hope to emulate? Could never work. Get linux.

 

[madstarr]

They maybe will remake it just for the DS. Not emulate it.

The DS just doesn't have the hardware to play a computer program on it unless it was a really old one.
