The port for Quake is games/quakeforce (the binary then is nq-sdl, e. g. "nq-glx -width 1024 -height 768", or nq-glx), for Quake 2 it is games/quake2. I'm not sure if wine can run those native DOS games, but the "big" virtualisation software (VirtualBox, VMWare) should be able to emulate a PC, then have some DOS installed, and the game should run - _if_ the virtualisation works properly and _fully_ supports the required interfaces that the games _directly_ address. I assume "doscmd" is not sufficient. Maybe "bochs" is okay. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
