Well i downloaded the glquake from os4depot installed the original to my pc and copied the contents along with the amiga executables and burnt them to disk and tried it on the sam440 but it just crashes to the workbench i tried this with quake 3 and payback but still have the same problem. I am running just a basic sam44oep with the onboard ati and 512mb dimm do i need to down load an upto date minigl or opengl?
You shouldn't have to update MiniGL. The most important thing is to install the data files in the right place. There should be a readme in the archives that you downloaded from os4depot.
For Quake3, I think that the most recent version is
here. You may find OpenArena easier to install and try out. Just download the Amiga executable, and the OpenArena data files, and you should be up and running pretty quickly.
