Quake — chocolate-quake
Release availableChocolate Quake preserves DOS 1.09 behavior. Place your PAK data under id1 or specify -basedir/-game; vcpkg desktop builds and Linux system-library builds are documented separately.

Quake — QuakeQuest
Release availableDarkPlaces-based Quake VR port for Quest 1/2 and Pico 4. SideQuest setup requires game PAK files; dpmod weapon offsets can misalign tracked weapons.
Android

Not documented
Quake — vitaQuake
In developmentvitaQuake targets PS Vita with hardware-accelerated rendering. Install its Vita homebrew package and original Quake data; PC platforms from upstream engines are not inherited automatically.
Other
Quake — tyrquake
In developmentTyrQuake libretro core requires a compatible frontend and your Quake data. Vita/libnx are cross-build options; renderer/network flags and frontend platform support need separate checks.
Other
Quake — Qwasm
In developmentQwasm runs Quake-family software rendering through WebAssembly. The free replacement-data game and retail PAK import are separate options; native modules need compatible ported code.
