Copy the contents of the original Quake III Arena baseq3 folder to ~/Library/Application Support/Quake3/baseq3.

To set custom resolution, follow these steps:

Launch and exit the game at least once.
Open the ~/Library/Application Support/Quake3/baseq3/q3config.cfg file with an editor.

Set the following options:

seta r_mode "-1"

seta cl_renderer "opengl1"
