Quake II (VitaQuake2)

Quake II icon Quake II logo

Overview

VitaQuake2 is the libretro port that runs Quake II and its mission packs (Xatrix, Rogue, Zaero). REG-Linux exposes it in the ports section and uses the base and subdirectories to identify each episode.

Quick reference

  • ROM folder: /userdata/roms/vitaquake2
  • Accepted formats: .pak, .zip, .7z
  • Emulator/Core: libretro: vitaquake2
  • System group: ports

ROMs

The base game resides inside the baseq2/ folder, while the mission packs live in their own directories (xatrix/, rogue/, zaero/). Drop the .pak files into the appropriate subfolders so the core can detect them. VitaQuake2 automatically loads the folder when you navigate to the entry.

Emulators

RetroArch / libretro: VitaQuake2

The core honors the usual vitaquake2.* overrides. Adjust video, shaders, and controllers through the Quick Menu or EmulationStation advanced options.

Controls

The overlay demonstrates the FPS layout; configure movement, jump, and fire through the standard remapping_controls_per_emulator workflow if you need adjustments.

Troubleshooting

  • Verify each mission pack folder contains the proper .pak files for that episode.
  • Use the shareware baseq2 data to confirm the core works before adding the mission packs.
