- THe full games are available on GOG, just copy the original DATA directory to CARMAGEDON or SPLATPACK

- hires option need a big machine (G5)... video decoding is very slow :-(
- add command "--dir="

So, I deleted the launcher.prefs but that didn't had any result. However, renaming the drawers as Manu suggested did the trick. Still, the Carmageddon (the original edition) doesn't allow the Hi-Res to be selected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Anyway, ingame works perfectly at least :)

1/
Yes i test Max Pack 2.0.0.63 from GOG.. and working fine here :
you need to install it on Window and copy DATA directories into :
CARMAGEDDON/DATA <--- here (CARMA)
SPLATPACK/DATA <--- here (SPLATPACK)
2/ try to delete launcher.prefs....
Launcher check if some file present into directorie to detect game automaticly.

1) Copied the "data" folder of a GOG installation (Max Pack, version 2.0.0.63) of "CARMA" and "CARSPLAT" to the relative drawers on MorphOS' Dethrace but the games do not appear as selecteable options on the launcher. I also copied the other files on the same folders from the PC just to check if anything was missing but again, it didn't work. Any idea what would be wrong? Has anyone successfully tested Dethrace with DATA from GOG installation or should I head at the archive.com?
2) It would be nice if the bubbles on the Launcher explain them, for example what do "Spam fritter", "Robots", "Low memory" actually do? "Sound detail" I suppose means different Hz? If so, I think, it should state the Hz rather than plain numbering.
3) Optionally, I think it would be nice if the when clicking the launcher you would also hear some song from the legendary Carmageddon soundtrack.
4) I propose this Launcher icon: https://www.steamgriddb.com/icon/14427 which seams to me more modernized (imho).
