Hacking [Release] Chocolate Doom

[sj33]

Chocolate Doom has been ported to Vita thanks to fgsfdsfgs.

https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/chocolate-doom/releases

This offers various advantages over the existing Vita ports of Doom including most of the Chocolate Doom features, dual stick control, OPL3 and .ogg music support.

Here's how to use .ogg files for better quality Roland SC-55 music.

I have created some .cfg files that allow you to use .ogg music. Or more accurately, I have edited the existing .cfg files for the .flac files to use the .ogg files compatible with the Vita port. I literally opened the .cfg files and changed all the .flac extensions to .ogg. Chocolate Doom does not seem to care if the SHA1 hashes are correct.

Create /data/chocolate/music/. Go to Roland SC-55 Music Packs and download the .ogg packs for Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom. You can also get the Hexen music pack here. These archives will contain a folder called MUSIC. Rename this folder to either doom1-music, doom2-music, tnt-music, hexen-music, heretic-music or strife-music depending on the game and copy that folder to /data/chocolate/music/. Also copy the .cfg files from the attached archive into /data/chocolate/music.

You should end up with the following structure:

music/
----[game_name]-music/
--------<OGGs here>
----[game_name]-music.cfg

Now in the Chocolate Doom settigs, switch the sound from OPL3 to Digital and enjoy glorious Roland SC-55 music.

Cheers, the music packs sound great.

This is the best doom port for vita already and fgsfdsfgs along with rsn887 have made a huge amount of improvements since the first release, the next one is going to be excellent

Could you post some screenshots mate?

Is there a way to play with deathmatch bots in this release? I always had issues trying to add some from the console, at least with other ports...

Excellent release, but why is music stuttering?
Is there some option to fix this?
Thanks!

Is there a DooM plutonia doom-music pack maybe?

Thank You, it works perfectly!
I literally had this face when i heard the music!

Is there a DooM plutonia doom-music pack maybe?

Plutonia uses the regular Doom
2 music so a separate music pack is not necessary. Only TNT used an original score (mixed with classic tracks).

[Brailer]

Do you think we can get the classic aliens soundfile added to this?

Metroid0. Thank you for the screenshot! This saved me! It took me forever to figure that I needed to put the cfg files music folder and not each individual doom music folder! Thank you so much!​

Any existing bots for this? i found a dehacked bot mod but its not that good

Can someone for the love of Hexen please help me get the N64 soundtrack working on Chocolate Doom for Vita? I have been trying for days and am totally out of ideas. The sound pack is 22 tracks but the N64 soundtrack is 36 tracks. I finally got it to work, but now the tracks are completely out of order.

A bit of a shame that this port hasn't gotten any updates. All the games supported (at least in their base forms) perform great - with the sole exception of HeXen, where for whatever reason there's this awkward stammering every couple of seconds. With the benefit of PSVshell and hindsight, every game engine runs with, seemingly, plenty of CPU headroom to spare at default 444mhz. Yet, Hexen will randomly jump up to 100% usage during those 'stammers', which is just heartbreaking!

Perhaps someone might be able to pick this up again one of these days?

 

[gamba66]

I agree 100 percent.

Did anyone get hexen in chocolate doom running without these random stutters
