Yes, please change it back to /usr/share/games/doom. Chocolate Doom,
which uses 4 different executables for the four different games,
searches onyl in this directory. Other engines (e.g. ZDoom, Vavoom,
Doomsday), which share one executable for the four games, search in this
directory anyway.

As a starting point:
http://doomwiki.org/wiki/CHEX.WAD
http://doomwiki.org/wiki/CHEX2.WAD
http://doomwiki.org/wiki/HACX.WAD

Later on, I can provide the other checksums as well, if needed. 

Please note that CHEX2.WAD is a PWAD that requires the CHEX.WAD IWAD to
play, i.e. it's an extension.

I don't think so. Strife has been completely reverse-engineered from
scratch and IIRC even Chocolate Strife, which is considered the most
faithful reproduction, does not feature suipport for the demo version.
