I downloaded and tried R1Q2 out with GameHost. It works fine if you pass the "-oldconsole" parameter, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this without replacing the whole command line or editing Games.ini.
For optimum compatibility with GameHost, please download these modified GameHost files:

GameHost will now use "dedicated.exe" when looking to start Quake 2, so be sure you have dedicated.exe present! I have also updated the Quake2.GOF file so that a number of R1Q2 parameters can be configured directly inside of GameHost:
Enjoy!
