Remember, the CD key was never necessary. You could enter it, but you didn’t have to to play. If you enter the CD key, you get some extra things, I forget what though. just hit enter twice, and away you go.

Just so you know, it works on my G1, and it works on anything 1.6 or up. To get it running, you can download the demo and point release from id’s FTP site, and just take the pak files from there. I get a decent 20 fps, but be warned, if you’re not on a Droid, disable sound or else you’ll just crash every single time.

Wow, this works… works great. If I had a external mouse and key board, I could play quake for real on the phone.

There was an old trick for Quake 3 CD keys, just enter all zeros. It won’t work online, but the game will work just fine. Anyone know where to get the wad for this being that my Q3 CD is long trashed by now?

@Logan This was compiled using the NDK (ie C/C++ code), so I don’t think we’ll see much of a performance improvement when we get a JITing JVM.

Just got it working on my Droid pretty awesome! NOTE: Apparently you will need a CD Key. I just Googled “quake 3 cd key” and easily found one. (It needs to be a key without numbers because numbers didn’t seem to work when I tried punching them in, only letters)

What’s different between this and the earlier Quake port that was removed from the Market after the cease and decist from iD regarding it?

Don’t want to bother with a new rev only to find it dropping support in the future.

Yep I have Astro, and actually I think I just learned how to install non-market apps. I just saw the Google Earth story and the Dev’s page had instruction on how to install the .apk, really easy stuff :)

flyinion: Go to Settings > Applications and check “Unknown sources.” This will allow you to install unsigned apps. You will probably need some kind of file manager to launch the file, though. There are some great ones, but I recommend Astro. Search for it in the market.

the simple thing to do to get higher speed is overclocking the droid to speeds of the nexus one i believe. quake 3 was real awesome game
