Each file is located in the `WADs/` folder from the step above with an ID number that you can check on the list. #### Example: Sigil Sigil has the ID of `4` and is then located in the `/WADs/4/` folder. Within that folder there are images and also a file without an extension just called `4`. That `4` file is the `SIGIL.WAD` file. All you need to do is copy the ``/WADs/4/4` file to `retrodeck/roms/doom` then rename it `SIGIL.WAD`. ## Extra: Windows tips If you want to move the WADs from a Windows installations instead you can use this software: [Unity Doom Ripper](https://github.com/kevansevans/Unity-Doom-Ripper) The WADs are located in `My Documents\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM 2\WADs\` or `My Documents\Saved Games\id Software\DOOM Classic\WADs\` Then just transfer them with a USB Stick or another way to your Linux machine. ## Where can I find more WADs? None-official wads (mods) are all over the internet from old forums, github and various websites. **Doomworld:** The oldest DOOM community on the web and hosts of the annual [Cacowards](https://www.doomworld.com/cacowards). Doomworld is the lifeblood of DOOM community, generations of knowledge and a vast collections of wads exist within it. - [Doomworld Files](https://www.doomworld.com/files/) - [Doomworld ID Games(Legacy)](https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/) **Doomwiki:** [List of notable WADs](https://doomwiki.org/wiki/List_of_notable_WAD) **ModDB:** - [ModDB](https://www.moddb.com/games/doom/mods)
