ROM Hack DS Doom 1.0.0 released

[tw8e60]

Remember that all files need to be in the root of you're CF card not in a directory.
You need to have :

prboom.cgf
dsdoom.nds
prboom.wad
doom.wad (this is any wad file renamed).

Hope this works

m.babble, i had the same problem (M3 CF too), turned out both my doom1 and doom 2 wad werent working but the shareware wad worked just fine. I guess the thing is finicky about the wad you use.

 

[DjoeN]

Anyone having problems running this on M3 CF?
I'm using the .wad files from a Doom Collector's Edition install disc.
I've been sure to rename them to doom.wad.
Runs fine on my PC.

Using the wads from this CD to

All works fine on Supercard.

I just copied all files to the root on the miniSD + the WAD from The Ultimate doom (doom.wad)

Booted up DS and started doomds, worked perfect.


However, just played till level 2, after you switch the endswitch on level 2 the game seems to lock up

Here's some bottom screen output:

Using normal BSP nodes!

I got it pretty much to work on M3 MiniSD. Can select single/MP, finds the doom.wad, init textures etc....

Thing is, it stops at "Start the music man!".

I'm using firmware 23b and used the installer on save mode... thing is, Heretic (ds.gba) finally works now with save AND without the passme thingy, just flashme v7 ... on a M3 MiniSD

.
So that's a major improvement on the new firmware imo.

I think Doom should be starting at the "start the music now", can anyone confirm this?
I've seen a "double-screen" enabler boot thingy somewhere that might work.

Also might work if I can find the ds.gba version, seeing that Heretic and Hexen have no problem and both use a similair engine.

Your card is probably corrupted now...

 

[hornetx]

Anyone know if this works in the G6 lite?

 

[outphase]

There is a way to build a ds.gba with an appended FAT:

 1. Build a FAT file system containing .wad files. It's relatively easy on Linux, which allows easy creation and mounting of loopback file systems, but perhaps slightly more difficult on Windows.
 2. Prepare the FAT file system's boot sector with Chishm's signature (analogous to "PinEightGBFS" in a GBFS file).
 3. Append to the ds.gba, as is done with GBFS.

This should work with any NAND+RAM card such as SuperCard, M3, or G6.

If you can't figure this out, then you'll have to wait.

Guess i'll wait, i understood about a third of that.

 

[m_babble]

I got it working now.
tw8e60 pointed out the simple solution (for me at least).
Needed to have everything in the CF's root.
No music though.
Still cool.

 

[madri1]

i got "using normal bsp nodes!" on start and nothing else after this :'(

 

[science]

so you can infact play the entire doom 1 and 2 game...what about chapters do thsoe work...like knee deap in the dead...shores of hell...inferno

Chapters work if you have the full version and not just the shareware version

 

[madri1]

ok i got it,
doom.wad from doom1 seems to don't work..
but unoficial doom seems to work and doom2 also

i hope we will add a keyboard feature
(sometimes, for nightmare difficulty, by example, i need to press "y" or "n")

and MUSIC !!!

very good work

edit:
SOme wad files:

and to make your own wad, check for "doombuilder"

 

[smart81]

I have tried DS Doom 1.0.0 with super card SD and it works better that in DOS!
I used doom 2 wad file and i love to be doomed!

Thank you for this software it is the best!

M3 MiniSD's with a wide arrow (takes up 2/3rds of the sticker width) under neath the sticker is considered V2. This version absolutely blows for homebrew. Some work, many don't. The M3 with a tiny arrow is considered V1 and is godlike for homebrew. Don't be surprised if this doesn't work on your m3.

 

[tw8e60]

Are the saves working for U?
I have a SD M3, the game saves, and if I load without turning of the DS everithing is OK.
But if I reset the DS and try to load it dosent do it.
Are you saving/loading OK?

 

[SpaceJump]

Tried it on SC CF: Works and saves perfectly with Doom2, TNT and Plutonia. Awesome. I hope music is added in the next release. However, I couldn't get Doom1 to work

 

[meangreenie]

I at first couldn't get doom1 wad to work either, then someone gave me another and that one worked.

The error I had with the first doom1 wad was a sound one at the menu, I can't remember the exact error but it said something about sound/shutting down at the bottom and would then freeze the whole game. This same wad worked perfectly on my PC though.... strange

 

[tw8e60]

It seems that M3 SD users CAN'T save....

To bad....

Lets wait for the next release.

SpaceJump, thanks for the info, CF seems to be ok.

 

[Jefklak]

SpaceJump: doesn't work on your G6 Lite? I guess not.

 

[SpaceJump]

No, it doesn't work on my G6 Lite. But now that the G6's FATlib was released, G6 support could be added in future releases...

When it comes to direct FAT access the M3 CF and SC CF are the best (see also ScummVM DS).
