Been looking for weeks...

Well, ive been looking for weeks for a version of chex quest (and maybe the sequels too) that work on a mac that are free to download. ive not found any. i found this forum, and it looks to be filled with people who would be knowledgeable on the subject.

any idea how to run chex quest on a mac, where to download it with its sequels, and all that? i really do miss it, ive not played it in years.

if it helps, i have the original chex quest cd, but its for windows.

Alright, I'm not sure how well this works, but you can try this. http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19321&st=0&sk=t&sd=a

Simply place Chex.wad in the folder you installed ZDoom to. (Chex.wad is in the CQ directory.)

Welcome to the forums!

On old mac, the CD had a WAD that you put in the dir of Mac Doom...but yeah, if you have a new one, that is the way to go.

Replica, the download in the link you provided doesn't work, are there any other places to download it?

I'm not sure. $:-\$ While I'm looking, you should take a look at this. http://zdoom.org/wiki/Compile_ZDoom_on_Mac_OS_X

Edit = Try this. http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/220832/zdoomosx_0.4a.dmg

ok thanks, i got it to download, and i put the doom.wad file that came from the chex quest cd where the readme file that came with zdoom said to put it, but i try to run it and it instantly crashes... i have the system requirements too, so... what did i do wrong?

Replica · October 10, 2009, 12:31:37 AM

I'm not sure exactly. (I have vista.) I suggest you make an account on ZDoom's forum and ask about it. (Make sure you make a new topic because you'd bump that one.)

do i need a separate launcher file for it?

that zip file came with 2 files - Zdoom OS X, and a readme file... do i need anything else?

actually, take the chex.wad from the windows part of the CD, and place that in the right directory. That should work, unless this is an old build. Chex support has been there since late last year/early this year.

that's what i did, it didn't work. any idea where to get a newer version of it?

Well, you could try installing Wine for Mac or some other program like it(such as Darwin), so you can run Windows programs, and then download cq3.

Vulture · October 11, 2009, 01:32:02 AM

i was on the wine site and i couldn't find the mac version of it... maybe im just not seeing it?

Atariangamer · October 11, 2009, 10:56:14 AM

Here's something

Also, this seems to tell you how to install it.

And this is Darwine, seems to be a formal port of it.

oops, yeah, I misspelled Darwine. >.>
