No you are in the right forum.

It doesn't hurt to ask, even when the answer is:

It is not possible without making major changes to the OS windowing system, a difficult task that is bound to prove troublesome even if it was successfull.

i am going to be doing some nice 3d games as dsls soon, tuxcart etc, i don't think doom3 would work as a mydsl, it seems that there are just some things it needs to run (that could be packaged as a mydsl) and the installer, which could maybe be included in the dsl automatically put in your home dir. however i cannot be bothered to do a doom3.dsl, and i don't have the cd to test the installer. if you manage it then tell me and i will offer congrats.

There is already a quake2.dsl in the repository..
Add the pak*.pak files from any quake II CD disk, and play away..

The .pak files are NOT freely distributable..
