Quake: Shareware Version - Running on Windows 7 or Higher (Darkplaces)

In this Guide, I will show you how to Run the Shareware Version of Quake on Newer Computers (Windows 7 or Higher).

1. Source Port Installation

Visit Dark Places
https://icculus.org/twilight/darkplaces/index.html

Create 2 New folders in your Quake folder and name it DarkPlaces Quake Shareware

Extract the darkplacesengine20140513.zip files into your DarkPlaces Quake Shareware Folder.

How to install Quake on Windows
All that DarkPlaces needs from the Quake CD is pak files (be sure not to copy opengl32.dll from the Quake CD, it will not work with DarkPlaces!), with this in mind, all you need to do is make a Quake directory, extract the darkplaces engine zip to that directory, then make a quake/id1 directory, and put the pak0.pak and pak1.pak from your Quake CD into the quake/id1 directory, then all should be well.

How to deal with a DOS Quake CD on Windows
Try to use the DOS Quake installer if you can, use DOSBox if necessary to run the installer, then copy the pak0.pak and pak1.pak to your id1 directory in the darkplaces installation. ( http://dosbox.sourceforge.net )

You'll need to download the Shareware Version of Quake in order to install the pak0 & pak1 shareware files into darkplaces.
