well be elite and unzip it all the way, it runs faster, thats what i did. Sure i can't load many games, but oonce i took all the levels out of the pak ffile it got alot smaller.

I have the same problem, and after i unzip the pak file (it becomes .pak, it will copy, but not paste into the ID1 folder.

Okay, when you download pak0.pak from this website it is gzipped AND zipped:<br>pak0.pak.gz.zip<br><br>Windows Explorer on your PC is almost undoubtedly set to "Hide known file extensions" so it looks like this:<br>pak0.pak.gz<br>even though it is really<br>pak0.pak.gz.zip<br><br>You need to decompress that file (if it ends in .zip) one time, so it is pak0.pak.gz.  If you decompress it a second time, so it is pak0.pak, then the file will be more than twice the size, and will most likely not fit on your device.<br><br>So, first off, go into the settings for Windows Explorer on your PC and TURN OFF the Hide File Extensions crap. That way what you see is what you get (thanks Microsoft, hiding those file extensions by default really makes the world a better place). Once you have the file to pak0.pak.gz copy it onto your device in the prescribed directory. In some other thread someone tried renaming pak0.pak and stuck a .gz on the end. That will absolutely not work, no more than I can create a text document and stick .exe on the end to make it a program. So if you have decompressed it too many times, and have a 16 MB+ pak0.pak file, and don't have a copy of the original, then the simplest thing for you is to redownload it from this site and start over. Make a copy of it in case you decompress it too many times.<br><br>Dan East

Try clicking down the mouse button over the pak file, and drag it into the My Device folder, unclicking once hovering over that folder.

i would suggest an installer, but chris will just say maybe on the new site...

[Village_Ideot]

Wow, thanks Dan, but I already have pak0.pak.gz in the ID1 folder and it doesn't work

[Chris Edwards]

I'll talk to Dan and try to get an installer up ASAP... maybe this weekend.<br><br>Chris

[Dan East]

If there were an installer it would only be for the executable, not the pak file. I've not heard of anyone having problems copying the exe onto their device.<br><br>Dan East

y not for the pak0.pak, if u set up a quake directory with the pak file in the right place. Then they will know where to put pak1.pak and other crap as or if they get it. set it up like how MameCE loads, it makes a rom directory but doesn't put anything in it...
