Hi,
Quake2:
Back when I got my Pegasos I only transferred an already installed Quake2 from my Amiga to my Pegasos.
Later I heard that people had problem when installing Q2 on the Pegasos. I found out that the installation script stalls at the part where it tries to unpack the pak-files (problem of the tool that is used for unpacking those files).
However, it should be possible to edit the install-script that - instead of unpacking the pak-files - it only copies them to the baseq2-directory. The only drawback should be that loading takes some more time when playing because Q2 has to extract the data from the pak-files instead of an already unpacked directory structure.
Shogo:
Hm, can't remember that I had problems when installing this one.
It also works with both my gfx-cards (PCI-Voodoo3 3000 and AGP-Radeon 7000/VE).
The only funny thing I encountered was, that when playing with software renderer (either Voodoo or Radeon) I get an error message that Shogo can't initialize the sound system when loading and I get no sound during the game.
This does not happen when I'm using the Voodoo with hardware rendering where everything works OK.
Freespace:
Sorry, haven't tried this one yet - lack of time - as I first had to finish my "tests"
with Heretic II.
