Back from...nowhere

I haven't needed to use Dos-Box to run CQ though.

You can run it without DOSBox, but I've never been able to get sound to work.  (I'm talking about the original Chex Quest - not TUCQ or some other recent mod.)

hmm..., I would have t find the original .exe than.

start gzdoom.exe -Iwad TNCQG2.wad -file CQloungev10.wad

There is your fail. You need TNCQG2IWAD.wad instead of the expansion pack (TNCQG2.wad).

I'm an Ubuntu user. 

You can easily play the original Chex Quest on both Windows Vista and GNU/Linux by using DOSBox.  Most of our mods will also work on both operating systems, because there are both Windows and GNU/Linux versions of Doom Legacy, GZDoom, Skulltag, etc.  (Note: GZDoom only works in GNU/Linux if you compile it from the source code.)  Your problem will be with .WAD editing.  There are no good .WAD editors for Linux.  The few that exist are experimental.

Here's the link for DOSBox:

Bingo. 

I'm an Ubuntu and Suse user and this is how I do it.

Yeah i still get doom2.

EDIT: When I use the "good" configuration that works (Last one I used was v10, so that's the last one that works) it starts right up with the lounge.

BUT as soon as I put the v23 wad in the file and change the bath file I get doom2.
