Switch port of TyrQuake (only the NetQuake part).

Features

• Hardware-accelerated OpenGL ES2-based rendering in 1280x720.
• Sound (but no music yet).
• Support the Mission Packs and other mods compatible with vanilla Quake, with a simple mod selector menu.
• Analog controls (not perfect).

Installation

Download the latest release, extract the zip and place the NRO into /switch/nxquake/ on your SD card.

• If you want to play the shareware version of Quake (included), copy pak0.pak to /switch/nxquake/id1/.
• If you have the full version, copy both pak0.pak and pak1.pak to /switch/nxquake/id1/.
• If you want to play Scourge of Armagon, copy pak0.pak from hipnotic to /switch/nxquake/hipnotic/.
• If you want to play Dissolution of Eternity, copy pak0.pak from rogue to /switch/nxquake/rogue/.

Make sure the pak files and the id1 directory have all-lowercase names, just in case.

Mission Packs and mods are supported. If you have more game folders than just id1 in /switch/nxquake/, a mod select menu will pop up when you launch NXQuake.

User guide

Some notes:

• If it crashes and exits back to HBL/Horizon silently, you can check /switch/nxquake/error.log.
• For whatever reason after you select a mod in the mod menu the game will hang for like 5 seconds before loading the first demo.
• It is recommended to exit the game using the Quit option in the menu, don't just press the Home button, use Y to confirm the exit prompt.
• Multiplayer doesn't work yet.
