"Doom Registered" and "Heretic Registered" missing?
Hi, I own these games countless times and also bought them on steam, but for some reason "Doom Registered" and "Heretic Registered" are still missing.
Whats up with this files, and how checks Doomsday Engine which files are valid? Name, CRC or filesize? Whats with different versions of a game?

Ultimate Doom and Heretic SOTR, the versions which are more common these days, are the expanded versions with four and five episodes respectively.
Dday supports all of them, if you have the right Iwad.
Any official statement how Doomsday Engine checks the files?
You can check whether you have valid WAD files by comparing them to the original game file details (file size, hash values). On the ZDOOM IWAD page click on a filename, e.g. doom.wad, to access these details.
Reading that file should be fairly self-explanatory.
Not all criteria are required; for example, if the WAD directory and file size both match, the file name doesn't have to match. However, all found files are scored and the best match is used.
There may definitely be some bugs in the code, though, because it sounds like certain files that should definitely be recognized aren't being found.
I managed to get the registered games now, thanks for your help.
The last one missing is the 4 level Beta Demo. Could someone please uplad this for me? I guess ists not copyright protected.
