quake 1

Can you run quake 1 on your Arch Linux?

There is a port called "darkplaces", but it doesn't work on old graphics card like Matrox (quake2 and few other games work correctly)

I wanted to run glquake, but it has problem with opening sound device (/dev/dsp) - is it related to ALSA? Other programs use /dev/dsp and work...

Is there any other OpenGL port than glquake and darkplaces?

Thanks, but their site is down and I can't find any mirror of source.

QuakeForge is quite old but the site seems to be still up.

i really like tyrquake, but i cant get it to play sound...

i also want to play fitzquake, but when i run it it exits with an error:

Host_Init
FindFile: can't find gfx/pop.lmp
Playing shareware version.
FindFile: can't find gfx.wad
W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad

and darkplaces have wrong textures for my card, a intel 945

i like an engine much like the original quake, so for now its tyrquake until i can get the sound to work

See where the program is looking for its data files:

strace -e trace=file yourexecutablename
