I also played it on my A1200 with blizzard ppc (040/25 with 240Mhz ppc,128 MB+bvision) and the optimal res is 512*384*16
for an A1200 with this config. but don't go multiplayer/online it will get pretty slow on ya if there are a lot of players in a level (more then 10) 640*480*16 was to hard on the Old permedia 2 with Q2.

Hmm, probably because the PPC board's PCI interface is clocked at 25MHz instead of 33, and doesn't support burst cycles (not that I'm aware of at least). Anyway, you might also try 480x360. I rather liked that resolution on low-end video cards with games.

Still waiting for trgse to upload Q2.exe on Aminet...

I found it on fileplanet and after a 20min wait i managed to get it to download, so heres a direct link no waiting ( ok some waiting but not aslong as FP Franks version

 I'm not familiar with fileplanet at all, but the link doesn't work. It says "The Request File not Found"

I checked the frank version link and it worked for me. But heres the fileplanet link, but expect a good 20min (atleast) wait to download unless you have an account thereLINKY

[nasty]

No problem I also found this link, should be about 30sec wait on this one

*BUMP*

Still waiting for trgse to upload it to Aminet.

I guess the 0.5 version does not work for most people.

[zipper]

It worked for me on my A4000/CSPPC/Prometheus/Voodoo3 - I just tried it after I had full Q2 installed.

[trgse]

I uploaded it late (ish) yesterday...

[nasty]

Thanks trgse, guess we'll just have to wait until someone from aminet approves the download(think that can take upto 24hrs but dont quote me on that :-D ) what is the filename called trgse?

[trgse]

Quake2_PPCbin...

@trgse

So is it the version from Frank Menzel or a different one?
Still waiting that it's getting approved...

@all:

(I'm one of the Aminet admins)

First of all: When uploading to Aminet, you are required to specify a proper, machine readable email address at the "Uploader:" field - we need to have the option to get in contact with an uploader, especially in cases like this one. If we wouldn't have stumbled across this thread by accident, you guys would be left wondering what's up with the lazy idiots at Aminet.

About the uploads:

We're talking about GPL software here. The version uploaded by nasty is an early beta that is not exactly suitable for end users - and I doubt anybody still has the sources for this version. There are various issues with trgse's upload that need to be investigated before we can even think about hosting it.

In other words: This will take a few days. And please keep in mind that the Aminet team reserves the right to delete any uploads that we deem unfit.

Upps,


I am still wondering which version he finally tried to upload. If it was the version Menzel, "an early beta" like cutjahr said, I don't see too much reason for putting it on Aminet again since it is old and available from other sources.

If it's a new version, I would be very happy if it will make it to Aminet (after approval).
