Quake 2 or 3 port with multiplayer

I was wondering if anyone has taken up any of these projects. The Quake that is already on homebrew is excellent and im extremely impressed with the responsive controls. (I wonder if they are planning to add multiplayer too it?) Anyways i found that quake 2 was ported to the ds and therefore the wii should be able to handle a port of either the second or third quake. Do you think we will be seeing either of these games on homebrew?

I think it's just a matter of time before we see at least Quake 2 on the Wii.
And yes, the Wii Quake developer plans on implementing online multiplayer.

ya hopefully we see it sooner than later lol im not the most patient guy. I do realize how much effort and skill it takes to port a game like that so i respect the give as much time as needed to the developers. I cant wait for online multiplayer! thats gonna be great!

I believe the guy who did Wii quake said he was sick of it and would think about possibly doing the other quakes. I don't believe either of them are actively being worked on. I also don't believe multiplayer for the first quake is actively being worked on either.

dam that sux

You could try finding the people who have done ports of those quakes to other platforms and e-mail them to see if they're interested in doing a Wii port.

I'm happy with the Orginal Quake (even though the enemy's look 2D).

That is unfortunate. Just so it doesn't look like I was talking out my ass, here's what the dev eluan said about a month ago reguarding online mp:

"Even if we need a tcp-udp wrapper, online will be implemented. It's something I really want to do."

I have the source for Quake 3, but I don't know how recent it is, but then again none of them are really that recent. I had a look at the source, there's a lot of it, but as said above it's only a matter of time before 2 is ported and possibly 3.

WolfET is based on quake 3 engine it would be great if it got ported so that WolfET could be ported as well.

Just because it's the same engine doesn't mean it will be simple...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all 3 quake games DOS games? Also does anyone know where I can download quake's PAK1.pak file? Without it I'm stuck playing the shareware version on the Wii.

No I don't think that quake 3 is a dos based game.

Quake 1 and 2 were dos, I think quack 3 was slightly later, 95 perhaps?

Isn't that a little illegal question? If it was legal to get is easily(free), why then isn't it included with the Hb-release?

@WiiPhlex
Because if they're DOS games we should be able to play them soon with vader's DOS emulator.

@Dykam
Yeah, I guess so. I thought only the .exe was illegal.

And the io streams are automatically handled with this emulator?

... It is a port. not an emulator, is it?

Arikado said something about a DOS emu...
