Maybe someone can help me with this?? Doom3 files
« on: August 17, 2026, 05:15:58 PM »
Having an issue finding something online , here's the deal..

I have Batocera https://batocera.org/ installed on a machine in my living room , IT'S AWESOME , I'm trying to get Doom3 put into it , it's straight forward to put games in , no issue there ..

I've extracted the files I need from the game discs that I own ,  but there's something missing , see - when You install this game on a windows system it may actually require the "patch" - in fact I guess you're really supposed to patch it , I dunno .


 Now the guide on the Batocera WIKI page says these files are required because the emulator will crash without them...  and that You're supposed to get the files from your windows installed game.. ... But I don't have that , because I don't have windows and therefor is the whole reason I'm putting Doom3 in my Batocera machine ...!

the files I'm missing are:

pak005.pk4

pak006.pk4

pak007.pk4

pak008.pk4


and apparently are in the "patch" DOOM_3_1.3.1_Patch_Fixed_v4.2.exe  , but!!!!  they aren't as-far-as i can see..

I've been searching the internet a while and the google machine is giving me conflicting results...     Can anyone lend me a hand on this???

had to come back to this thread with some additional information/notes/thoughts

visited https://batocera.org/download and just WOWZA!

also, re: "I've been searching the internet a while and the google machine is giving me conflicting results...     Can anyone lend me a hand on this???"

try https://start.duckduckgo.com/lite/ instead (preferrably via Librewolf with NoScript, PrivacyBadger, and uBlockOrigin)
