Back at the Watchful Towers of QJ, a carrier pigeon has arrived carrying a mail from bLiNd (thanks!) informing us about the all important Auto-Installer for the fan-favorite and classic FPS homebrew for PSP, Quake v2. According to bLiNd, NGEvo has released it "to the public to help make life easier for the people who would just like to have their homebrew installed by the click of a few buttons."

You still get the same exciting First Person Shooter that tips the scale of awesomeness by Peter Mackay and Chris Swindle; what's different with this one, as explained by NGEvo himself, is that the config menu system program is much simpler, allowing the 'Quakers' (not the oatmeal) to join servers easier. It's quite a handy upgrade especially since p'wnage is rampant in this game and everybody knows the horror of having problems trying to get back to the action when you're itching to score back a p'wn. Interesting enough? Here's how to install it:

1. Use the installer.
2. Load quake from the Eboot loader found inside.
3. In the quake menu, go to multiplayer and set infrastructure on.
4. Go back to the Menu and start a New Game.
5. Once you get the game running, press select and the in game program will be loaded.
6. Repeatedly press select until you get to the Server Menu (see left image above).
7. Press "right arrow"  on the "digital move pad" to select it.
8. Then you can choose out of 4 servers with the buttons: Square, Circle, Triangle, Cross (see right image above).
9. Run, gather health and ammo, and most importantly, start shooting anything that runs through your path!

NGEvo has detailed instructions on every possible source of confusion from the most beginner of beginners, just check the readme files inside the download file. There are also options like configuring your own preferred controls, adding more servers, creating playernames, adding new maps and more.

NGEvo also wish to clarify that he does not take credit for the homebrew game itself, he has just simply taken the wonderful work of the creators and has made the installation process slightly easier. He also want to give thanks to Garret Peters for the in-game program. That said, prepare your PSPs and start making waves, or in this case, Quakes!

TO start an infrastructure game you need to go into options, turn infrastructure on.



THEN you go to new game, and start a enw game. once you are in a new game, hit the select (iirc) button a few times til you get to hte servers. then you just hit the corrseponding button ,and connect!





ALSO< THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!



some of you may notice that you cannot connect to the psp-quake server. this is because the ip address is WRONG.



to fix this:



ocneyou ahve everything installed, go to the folder psp/game/quake _1/id1



open up hte file called quakeservers.cfg in wordpad.



see the lin that says:

bind SQUARE "exec autoexec.cfg;connect 24.178.41.107"



change it so it looks like this:



bind SQUARE "exec autoexec.cfg;connect garretpeters.com"



and voila, you are in hte actual PSP game server. Spread this fix please.





join garret peter's forums for scheduled matches, and et ceteras.

by XyZZy - 2006-08-02 15:50
» IF there's no one in htere....

» WRONG EBOOT!!

well for those who are having problems loading this like i was. just to let you know i am running 2.6. soooo... i took the older eboot.pbp from the older quake download [quake2+gp]. and replaced it with the one in the quake folder [which should be inside the psp/games] then ooo aah walawalabingban g!!! it worked!!! hopefully this will help the confused.
