ZZQuake2 1.0 - Quake II for classic Amigas with the MNT ZZ9000
================================================================

ZZQuake2 runs the Quake II engine on the ZZ9000 ARM Cortex-A9 Core1,
with an AmigaOS 68k launcher and graphical interface. Three rendering
engines are available, including FPGA hardware-accelerated OpenGL via
RasterIX in the XACP firmware.

RENDERING MODES
---------------

  Software (Core1 0.8.5):   320x240, 640x480, 800x600
  ARM TinyGL (Core1 0.6.1): 320x240, 640x480
  RasterIX (Core1 0.10.3): 320x240, 640x480, 800x600

The package includes the launcher, the GUI and all
EIGHT Core1 binaries used by the GUI. TinyGL renders in software
on Core1. RasterIX uses the ZZ9000 FPGA 3D accelerator.

REQUIREMENTS
------------

  - AmigaOS 3.x on a classic 68k Amiga.
  - MNT ZZ9000 graphics card and Picasso96.
  - XACP-compatible zz9000.card driver (required).
  - XACP firmware: software and TinyGL are compatible with XX19c;
    XX19d-RIX (or later) is required for RasterIX hardware 3D.
  - Legitimately obtained Quake II demo or full-game data.

INSTALLATION
------------

Extract ZZQuake2.lha to a drawer. Keep ZZQuake2_A0, ZZQuake2GUI and
all eight .bin engine files in the same ZZQuake2/ directory.
ZZQuake2_A0 is the historical launcher filename, not an alpha version.

For the demo, place your demo pak0.pak in:

  ZZQuake2/baseq2/pak0.pak

For the full game, the recommended location is:

  ZZQuake2/baseq2/full/pak0.pak

This lets the demo and the full game coexist. Select "Full pak" in
ZZQuake2GUI to use the full-game data. Both are supported.

Optional user-supplied MP3 music belongs in:

  ZZQuake2/baseq2/music/track02.mp3
  ZZQuake2/baseq2/music/track03.mp3
  ...

Use MP3 files encoded at no more than 128 kbps. Supported Amiga/XACP
audio paths include MP3 via XACP decoder, MP3 via MHI and CD audio. Game saves and loads work.
Quake II cinematics are not supported in this release.

No commercial PAK files, music tracks or other game assets are included.
