djdarko: Make a backup of your files beforehand, I suggest starting with a clean installation - you can also use Galaxy to "Manage Installation" and "Verify / Repair", otherwise read on!

folder reference image * These are lossless "accurate rip" flac files. Note: I am not convinced that Quake 1 has "pre-emphasis", so I have left the files exactly as they are on my retail disc. But for the sake of completion, I have included both SoX and iTunes de-emphasized copies of my original rip, those files can be found
here.
** These are the highest quality .ogg files (Quality 10). They are sourced from "accurate rip" flac files. They are higher quality than the .ogg files provided by GOG, and I have included "The Reckoning" files as well. If Yamagi Quake II is ever updated to support .flac, those files can be found
here.
Bonus, if you're really picky.
This is a pack that fixes the mastering error "click" at the beginning of "Operation Overlord" (AKA Quake 2 Track 02, and The Reckoning Track 07). I've included separate fixes for both tracks, in both .flac and .ogg format. Can we say "OCD" boys and girls?
Big thx, works exactly as promised :) Quake and Quake II without the original sound track is such a loss. 23 years on and still enjoying Quake, top job...
