To install, extract the main zip file to the root directory of your SD card. The directories are set in the source code and must be in the apps/uqm directory on the SD card. You can use USB Mass Storage, but changing the directories requires recompiling or using a command line parameter.

You can use the 3DO speech and music packs, but the binary pack posted is based on the latest SVN version of UQM, so the packages posted may not work (file structure has changed). A packed version of the SVN speech pack is included. To use 3DO sound, you must get it from the SVN and place it in the content directory. It's recommended to create a .uqm file (a standard zip file with .uqm extension) for these files. These .uqm files go in the same directory as the main content .uqm package.

The Ur-Quan Masters is an open source remake of Star Control 2. The source code for the 3DO version was released by the original team under the GPL, and the content was released under a Creative Commons license.

The Ur-Quan Masters team then ported this code to SDL to make it compatible with modern systems.

Installation

To install, extract the main zip file to the root directory of your SD card. The directories are hard-coded and must be in the apps/uqm directory on the SD card. You can use USB Mass Storage, but changing the directories requires recompiling or using a command line parameter.

You can use the 3DO speech and music packs, but the binary pack posted is based on the latest SVN version of UQM, so the packages posted will not work (file structure has changed). A packed version of the SVN speech pack is included. To use 3DO sound, you must get it from the SVN and place it in the content directory. It's recommended to create a .uqm file (a standard zip file with .uqm extension) for these files. These .uqm files go in the same directory as the main content .uqm package.

If your screen is cut off, use the scaling and offset sliders in the setup options to ensure all four green borders are visible.

Controls

The game can be play with just 3 buttons and a Control stick or D-Pad.

In melee, turn your ship Left/Right and thrust forward. Be careful with the B button when playing in horizontal mode with a Wiimote. In story mode, use the Start/Home button to escape combat with the hyperdrive (once obtained).

Enter text with the D-Pad/Control sticks. Select letters with Up/Down, move cursor with Left/Right. OK to accept, Cancel to cancel.

Controls can be modified in the flight.cfg and keys.cfg files. Adding support for the Classic Controller, for example, is easy. See SDL Documentation for button mapping details.

  • The SDL Team for getting the SDL ported to the Wii.
  • The devkitPro team for libogc.
