Switch port of Quakespasm. Uses SDL2 as the backend, supports OGG and MP3 music and most other features of Quakespasm.

Features

• Hardware-accelerated OpenGL-based rendering in 1280x720 and 1920x1080.
• Sound, including support for OGG and MP3 music tracks.
• Supports the Mission Packs and other mods compatible with Quakespasm (Quoth, Arcane Dimensions), with a simple mod selector menu.
• Analog controls.
• Gyro aiming (thanks to falquinho for implementing this).
• Multiplayer support.
• Most other features of Quakespasm, such as:
  • Advanced renderer with cool stuff, such as colored lighting, fog, translucent water, high-res textures, model interpolation, etc.
  • Scalable, optionally translucent HUD and menus.
  • Music support, as mentioned earlier.
  • Raised engine limits.
  • Built-in controller support.

Installation

How to install:

• Place the NRO into /switch/quakespasm/ on your SD card.
  • For the shareware version of Quake, copy pak0.pak to /switch/quakespasm/id1/.
  • If you have the full version, copy both pak0.pak and pak1.pak to /switch/quakespasm/id1/.
  • If you want to play Scourge of Armagon (Mission Pack 1), copy pak0.pak from hipnotic to /switch/quakespasm/hipnotic/.
  • If you want to play Dissolution of Eternity (Mission Pack 2), copy pak0.pak from rogue to /switch/quakespasm/rogue/.
• Make sure the pak files and the id1 directory have all-lowercase names, just in case.
• You can run QuakespasmNX using Homebrew Launcher. If it crashes, look for error.log in /switch/quakespasm/.

Mods support:

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

Music support:

• Music should be placed into a music subdirectory inside the appropriate game directory.
• For example, Quake music in /switch/quakespasm/id1/music/, Mission Pack 1 music in /switch/quakespasm/hipnotic/music/.

For more information see the original Quakespasm readme.

User guide

Notes

• Some more complex mods, like Arcane Dimensions, will only work if you run Quakespasm in regular app mode (not from the Album), as they require more memory.
• Mod selector can be accessed from the Options menu.
• Multiplayer was only tested between Switch and PC, use the IP shown in the Multiplayer > TCP/IP menu to connect to your Switch.

Settings

• To enable texture filtering, change gl_texturemode in config.cfg to GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR.
• To enable round particles, change r_particles in config.cfg to 1, 2 for square particles.
• You can adjust analog and gyro sensitivity in Options > Joystick Options.
