How to extract them?
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/4/4file toretrodeck/roms/doomthen rename itSIGIL.WAD`.
Extra: Windows tips
If you want to move the WADs from a Windows installations instead you can use this software: 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.
