How to select which version of a PWAD to run in main games?
I like to run the older versions of games as well as the most recent, as well as having wads with demos etc. that are designed for specific versions. The game does recognize that I HAVE multiple variants of a pwad available, but it seems to simply randomly choose which one it wants to use when I launch the engine. Is there a way for me to select WHICH data file I use, for example for Doom Registered I have 1.1, 1.2, 1.666, 1.8, 1.9. How do I select 1.666 when I want to run an older wad for closer compatability, or 1.1 if I want to see the various changes made to the maps?

Note that Doomsday does not emulate the original games with 100% accuracy. For example, demos are not supported.
Custom game profiles are no different to the built-in ones, except they allow you to pick extra settings like the exact version of the IWAD.
By "random", do you mean it literally picks a different one every time you launch? Did you verify this from the logs, for example? If so, that is certainly a bug. It should pick the most recent version of the IWAD(s).
