Hey @camurso
I'm not sure about Team Arena but look in your Quake 3 directory for
baseq3
and copy everything inside that directory to/opt/retropie/ports/quake3/baseq3/

To run 'Team Arena', the files must be located in the same place as the full version. However, the launch command must also be altered for the game distinction to be made. I do this by placing a script in/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/
with the following entry:#!/bin/bash /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/ports/quake3/ioquake3.arm +set fs_homepath "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake3/full/" +set fs_game missionpack" "quake3"
After relaunching Emulation Station, the script will be listed in the 'Ports' menu and the two games can be launched separately based on preference.

@backstander, thank you for your reply!
@mediamogul, thank you for your reply and the script provided.
Although I don´t have a "full" folder, like the one you put on the path, a simple fix was enough.
I don't have the two games available on 'Ports' (maybe because I commented the script line that was already there), every time I start Quake 3 I enter "Team Arena mode", but, if I want to play Quake 3 "normal" all I have to do is change that option on Team Arena menu.Sorry my bad english.
