Infos

SDL_Quake is a clone derived from original ID Software sources and enhanced (SDL support). Quake is the sequel of Doom. It is working quite well on 8bpp framebuffers; for 16bpp one, a bug has to be corrected in i.MX framebuffer (ongoing).
Quake is integrated in Buildroot on latest GIT snapshots. It needs SDL, SDL_mixer & SDL_net. Video was taken on an APF27 with a LQO57 LCD. It has to be tested on APF9328.

Install

  • Launch Buildroot configuration:
 $ make menuconfig

Menuconfig package.png

Menuconfig package games.png

[*]    Shareware Quake WAD/PAK file
...
[*]    sdlquake
  • Activate sdlquake package and Shareware Quake WAD/PAK file (it will autoselect SDL, SDL_mixer and SDL_net).
  • Then, exit and save your config. Re-Build your rootfs:
 $ make

APF9328 (with 8/16 MBytes of FLASH)

As the generated rootfs is too big to be put on the APF9328 FLASH, there are 2 solutions:

1. put rootfs on a MMC/SD and boot it

MultiMediaCard#Booting_from_MMC.2FSD

2. boot your board from your NFS export

Network_Configuration#Boot_from_NFS

Launching

  • If you have a 320x240 display:
 # /usr/games/sdlquake -winsize 320 240 -noudp
  • If you want some sound be sure that ALSA is running, with OSS emulation loaded.

Troubleshots

  • If SDL is complaining because it can't find any mouse (Unable to init SDL: Unable to open mouse) then, before launching the game, do:
 # export SDL_NOMOUSE=1
  • APF9328 LCD controller will have difficulties to process all data when launching Quake in 480x272 mode (random black lines on screen). It's an hardware limitation so no fixes are scheduled.
