Yes, it looks exactly the same, but It seems there are many kind of these SuperPro Rainbow dongle. Although they all looks like the one pictured, they could be differ for model number...I don't know if a poor quality picture is enough to say "yes, it's the right model without doubts".

But I hope so!

Is there any kind of security key or license mentioned in the book on the CD?

Nothing that I can read, since I don't own the Quake A.T.E. manual or software Tongue

I taken the pic from here: http://quakearcadetournament.blogspot.com/

I'm sure they are different even if they look the same. The purpose of the dongle is to lock the machine to one licence.

The source code for quake has been out for some time, is there a way to recompile the exe for use without the dongle?

I know someone that use to work at Id Software, I inquired if they could help recompile the exe so it will work without the dongle.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

This would be the best option that can assure a working executable and bug-free.

Actually I tried to reverse the calls involved in the dongle process for three days (it should be glquake.00D84C80 but not sure), but without luck. It seems harder than expected. I'm sure I'm missing something, but dunno what since I haven't so much skills with assembly Tongue
