Doom 64 EX is a reverse-engineering project aimed to recreate Doom64 as close as possible with additional modding features.

Github repo: /fgsfdsfgs/Doom64EX

Spoiler

Features:

• hardware accelerated rendering;
• sound and music;
• analog controls;
  
• all other features of Doom 64 EX probably work (except network games).

To install and run the game, follow these steps:

1. Obtain a Doom 64 ROM in either n64, z64 or v64 format. I think region and version do not matter, as long as the ROM is unmodified.
2. Extract the wadgen folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to somewhere on your PC.
3. Run wadgen/WadGen.exe and point it to your Doom 64 ROM. This should generate two files inside the wadgen folder: DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2.
4. Extract the switch folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to the root of your SD card.
5. Copy DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2 you got in step 3 to /switch/doom64ex/ on your SD card.

If you already have Doom 64 EX installed on your PC or something, you can just do steps 4 and 5 right away, using the files from your existing installation.


Some notes:

• sometimes the music skips a little bit and/or channels go out of sync for a moment, this is most noticeable in the intro;
• as usual, if you have exFAT, better quit the game using the "Quit Game" option in the menu instead of just killing hbmenu;
  
• I have only tested this on a US v1.1 Z64 ROM, not sure if every ROM out there works, but most should.

Credits:

• Samuel Villarreal (svkaiser) and others for Doom 64 EX;
• fincs, Armada651, Subv and probably others for their work on the OpenGL/mesa/libdrm stuff;
• Midway Games and Nintendo for Doom 64;
  
• id Software for Doom.

I didn't know the XInput code was public. I'll take a look.

This may help. However, there are still some modifications here and there to do, but nothing too big I think. Again, branch ROM has several modifications using SDL2.

Just a quick heads-up:
I tried organizing my homebrew library and found out that some path is hardcoded in this port, so, it fails to launch if moved out of /switch folder. Also happens for Quakespasm, does not happen for NXQuake2.

 

[fgsfds]

All my ports are hardcoded to use the switch folder for data, since at the time I thought that was the convention. Is it not anymore?

I guess it still is, but would it not be better to use a path relative to .nro instead? The amount of useful homebrews grows, it becomes troublesome to navigate the hbmenu. I put my homebrews into categories under /switch/ like games/emulators/tools and most of them work, your ports being the rare exception, that's why I thought I would mention it.

 

[fgsfds]

I guess that makes sense. I remember having some issues with relative paths too, but I'll consider that.

 

[burial]

Is there an update to this?

 

[Ch0wW]

It's still in the works. I'm currently making sure that at least Odamex 0.8.1 is officially released so that I continue my work on it.

You always can use Doom 64 Retribution in GZDoom, it doesn’t have that glitch

 

[MacBlaster]

Jesus Christ man, are you racing against Bethesda? XD

Thanks a lot!

 

[fgsfds]

I already beat them to it by a long shot. Check the date on the OP.
Their Doom 3 port is really good though.

 

[Baq]

Just asking... cause the port is soooooo gooooood.
And i cant play because of the left stick problem.
Any new solutions? Any new versions?

Great job by the way. Imprresive work. Sooo smooth and game is soo great only the damn left stick make me float around the map all the time. Minute of playing
And save/load. On and on.

I'm sorry, a little bit busy with other stuff. Maybe I'll get a chance to rewrite the joystick code soon.
