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.
