Port of ID Software's popular Quake1 3-D shooter game to Maemo devices.

This version has been created long ago for Internet Tablets but (with small changes) it works really well on the N900. So until someone ports it to Maemo 5, if you like the original Quake, you may want to take a look at it :-)


SDL Quake for Nokia N900 / Maemo 5


You may download the game as a standalone file (using the link below the text) and install it in the Red Pill mode of the Application Manager, or you may get the file via our own repository.

Now several words about installation, configuration and required changes:

  • installation quits with an error message - don't worry about it, the game will install and run just fine
  • the package does NOT contain Quake data so you need to obtain it from somewhere else; either full version if you own one, or you may download the shareware version from ID Software site
  • quake data file (i.e. pak0.pak) has to placed on the memory card in the /quake/id1 folder (so the full path is: /media/mmc1/quake/id1/pak0.pak). Linux is case sensitive, and EVERYTHING (both file and folder names) have to be lowercase
  • the game originally starts in low resolution and its window only takes about 1/4th of the screen. In order to make it run full screen (i.e. 800x480) you will have to edit its config file: usr/bin/sdlquakepxd. It contains -winsize option followed by resolution, which should be changed to 800 480. You may need to edit the file in X Terminal, with root access enabled
  • the last thing to do is to edit another config file which contains keyboard definitions. They can be found in config.cfg and autoexec.cfg files located in the folder on the memory card where you copied the pak0.pak file. If you can't see them, run the game and quit it and they'll be created.
  • last remark is that the game runs full screen, so there is no Close button to quit it. Just shortly press N900's Power button and select "Close the current task" from the menu.
