The documentation of the chosen source port should come with needed information. That said, your average modern source port for playing Quake supports playing music from external files, so all you have to do is rip the music from original CD in the right format and put the resulting files with correct names in the correct place. Go into the files of the Quake disc and grab the 'id1' folder and put it in a new folder. The only thing you need from the discs is the. Enjoy Quake on windows 64 bit with expansions. The game is not exactly the most playable on Windows 10 on its original engine and executable anyways. Maybe it would be possible to completely fix CD playback issues by implementing the custom code (maybe there's a library out there that already does it?) that would read the music from CD and so on. Now navigate to your C:/Quake folder and look for the file named quake bat file.bat (may not have the extension visible and just be named quake bat file) Now double click it and pick which game youd like to play (Quake, Scourge or Eternity) and press the corresponding number to load and play it. There's also a requirement that the Quake CD be in the first CD drive (if PC has more than one), though that's the game limitation. It would be possible to implement a workaround by adding the code that would periodically query the status of CD drive. Even original Windows executables don't support volume control, I guess because MCI interface that was used doesn't neither (some games of the time do try to change it via alternate paths, though these don't work today neither).ĭue to a bug since Windows Vista, music doesn't loop because MCI never sends notification that playback has completed. I'm not sure if any Windows source port fixes issues with music playback from CD.
