    Hello,
    So far I have instaled 26 programs and only 7 of them worked. Including Quake 1, 2 and 3. I get things like "Starting Quake...
    I_Error: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad
    End" and many many other things like this. Am I doing something wrong. Also no instructions on what to do including instalation. After 18 years of dev it's hard to take, however maybe it's just me. Any help would be nice. THANKS

    Quake ports contain only game executable. Game data files cannot be included to these archives because of legal reasons. You have to obtain them elsewhere. The same is valid for other ported games like for example Return To Castle Wolfenstein and many more.

    Sadly no. You usually need to install the files manually. Or sometimes you need to install them on Windows first.
