Hi, I stumbled across the CHD file of "beta 2", which is still Hardware-Locked (Sentinel), so I couldnt test it. (but you can view the image contents) I already used the search here just to find 4 older discussiosn about it that didnt answer my question and I have googled a lot by now. Someone did all this before me, so no reason to get into details : https://www.quaddicted.com/quake/quake_arcade_tournament_edition In 2013 someone already claimed to have it "converted" for PC and also mentions a "unlocked developer version": (last post) http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-talk/quake-central/9336-i-found-quake-arcade-machine-4-sale.html Now my question would be, are the "instructions to convert it to PC" or maybe the dev-unlocked version still out there ? Did anoyone here ever play it on his old PC ? I read differences arent that spectacular, but still, Id like to try it. System specs and more info from an owner : https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=38 Maybe someone here got additional infos or even played it on the original cabinet ? Maybe somene can offer the dev version ? Would it be dongle free ? Any reply is welcome
Interesting, never knew this existed. Fwiw, all the resources seem to consist of base quake, the two mission packs and a few mods (reaper, zeus, clanring/quaketv). All seem to work fine with darkplaces so far (no differences to the retail version), so I'm guessing all the secret sauce is in the custom glquake.exe or whatever that opus.exe is. That latter one looks more controls-/input- than game-related though. Then there's a couple of loose text files that seem to get pieced together and thrown at the receipt printer, as well as some "arcade menu" definitions (also in plain text).
opus is connected to joystick control...says one of the links. I wish I could just play it and find out stuff on my own ^^
