i finally got it to work! . didnt have to use gpe at all . i kept using my computer to move the files . instead of putting the .pak files in the baseq3 folder i put them in the root folder . then i used n900's file manager to move the files into the baseq3 folder and it works now . . was playing via local server with my friend hosting on his iphone 3gs . now if only there was a way to up the gfx settings without crashing
