Quake2DS release is imminent

As some of you may remember, Quake 2 was one of the great first person shooters available for PC, released 10 years ago with minimum requirements of 90MHz and 16MB of RAM. Those requirements are a very tight fit for the DS, which only has 67MHz and 33MHz CPU's and 4MB of RAM. The RAM won't be enough, so a memory expansion pack similar to the one used for the Nintendo DS Browser would be needed.
The developer of this homebrew DS port, simonjhall, already has a port of Quake (QuakeDS) which has been available for a year or two and he has been keeping us up-to-date on his Quake2DS progress through a DCEmu thread and his YouTube profile. As you may notice in his posts, he is very close to a release.

So, does anyone here have old memories of Quake 2 they would like to share or thoughts of the port?

Update (2008-02-10): It's finally released!
