User guide

Network

There are two forms of networking support included in the this version of Quake (compatible with all Firmware versions capable of running homebrew).

Adhoc (PSP-PSP communication):

In order to use this mode go to the network menu and select adhoc, this will start the adhoc communication and then you can start a server or connect to another PSP using the usual method.

Infrastructure Mode:

If you have an access point then you can use this mode to connect to servers on the internet. Before connecting using this method for the first time please go to the setup menu and ensure that the access point is correct. If it is not then you can press left and right to select the correct one.

If it does not show up then you have probably deleted an access point and there is currently a bug that if one access point is deleted it will not find the correct one to connect to, you can set the accesspoint variable to the config number in order to avoid this.

The following commands have been added to Quake for network support:

• net_adhoc (initialise adhoc libraries and connect)
• net_infra (connect to the default access point)
• accesspoint <access point #> (set the access point to the default, this will be saved on exit)

Analog control

If mouselook is turned on, then the analog nub is used to look around. You'll need to allocate other buttons for movement.

If mouselook is turned off, which is the default, then the analog nub is used for movement.

Controls

The PSP buttons are connected to the following keys during the game and when the menu is shown, you will need to set to your desired action in the game options screen.

Select - Toggle console

Start - Show menu

Up/Down - Move forward/backward

Left/Right - Turn left/right
