I miss my PC so much.

N64 games were perfectly capable of point lighting via gauraud/vertex shading, including colored and moving lights. Rogue Squadron, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Turok 2 come to mind. Doom 64 wasn't very geometrically dense, so adding vertex shading wouldn't have been a huge performance hit. There's also the fact that the PS1 versions emulated the sector-based dynamic lighting just fine, so that should have been an option.

With that in mind, I'm currently concluding that either 

1) Doom 64's unique approach to lighting goofed up emulating OG Doom's approach. 

2) Vertex shading worked, but created artifacts the developers thought looked bad. 

3) Vertex shading worked, but did cause a performance hit.

4) Vertex shading simply didn't work and an alternative solution wasn't implemented. 

Anyone have insight on this?

PlayStation Doom: Master Edition. DoomWiki page by @Dark Pulse

Finally, Beta 4 is released

NEWS: Fourth Beta Release PSXDOOM BETA 4 [11/16/2022].

NEWS: PSP Beta 4 Release : PSP_PSXDOOM_MASTERED_BETA_4 (397MB). Conversion by @Kroc

This version isn't more than a hack of the original PSXDoom game. On the contrary, this is a re-built version from the reverse engineering of the original PSXDoom.exe, and thus being mod friendly.

What's new?:

• New Demo format as Dualshock support is added. The original demos are compatible, you just need to convert them to the new demo format.
• Uses the wall rendering coding from PSX Hexen, you will notice a slightly difference between the old vs the current rendering.
• Incorporates new formats for simple modifications without recompiling the exe, they are as follows:
  • PSXTXINF.TXT -> allows animation, switches and sky manipulations.
  • PSXMPINF.TXT -> similar to the traditional MapInfo.
  • PSXGMINF.TXT -> similar to the traditional GameInfo.
• Allows to run either PAL or NTSC formats depending on the console version you are using.
• The missing enemies were added: Arch vile, Commander Keen, Wolf SS and the Icon Of Sin. The Icon Of Sin battle is a bit interesting. you will see it. I did it that way in order to avoid memory overflow.
• New "SKYPALS" lump added, specially for skies palettes.
• DualShock's analog sticks and vibration supported. The vibration is the same from PSX Quake 2, but adapted for PSXDoom ME.
• PSXDOOM.WAD contains new textures provided by @riderr3 and @Impboy4. This was added for future modifications for a Beta 5
• Several maps were fixed using the bug fixing from PsyDoom and the other modifications were made by us..
• Some music tracks were changed due to the warning message: "W:not enough sound RAM!", these errors were present in Beta 3.
• Texture perspectives were fixed as well, the following images display the changes applied:
  • 
  • 
• Besides, several modifications from PsyDoom by @intacowetrust were added which are shown in the following list:

First Beta Release PSXDOOM BETA1 [27/08/2018].

PSP Beta 1 Release : PSP_PSXDOOM_MASTERED_BETA1 (269MB). Conversion by @Kroc

Info Vram:

So, SIGIL is now official.

I'm absolutely stunned.

Me and Alex (Who is on Doomworld, @TheLesha) present to you, ladies and gentlemen...

Doom 32x: Delta

Inspired by the early September 6th and 9th prototypes, (Which were closer to the PC version) this hack consists of bringing the original levels back to Doom 32x, and spice it up with its own improvements/changes. (Such as the custom bosses to replace the old ones that were impossible to import, bonus levels, etc...) While other similar projects were made in the past, (Such as e-doctor e-Modder's level hack which brought all the levels back but not the textures, or of course, Doom 32x Resurrection) Delta sought to bring the best possible experience with the right balance of the original PC textures and geometry, while trying to keep a playable framerate and the old engine. So, this is intended for those who like the vanilla Doom 32x engine, and felt like checking out the "ultimate" version of what could be done with said engine.

So, while Resurrection is arguably the better game/hack for a casual playthrough, if you've been wanting a slightly different Doom experience closer to the original 32x version, Doom 32x: Delta is for you!

Patching instructions: You need a Doom 32x (JU) ROM (Ntsc), and an xdelta patcher. You need to apply each episode patch to a separate ROM using an xdelta patcher.

IMPORTANT NOTES

-The main menu level select goes from 0 to 8. (See info below for MAP00)

-Episode 2 Bug: Due to the demo using the automap, if you start the game when the demo is in the automap, you won't be able to run, shoot or activate doors. Simply activate your minimap and deactivate it to fix this.

-Monster infighting is restored thanks to Lesha's genius.

-Oh yes, MAP00. Because I like making Doom maps and I wanted to include a bonus, Episode 1 and 3 have a bonus map in said slot (Episode 2 was meant to have one but it got wiped, sooo...)

• Episode 1 MAP00: Hectic 32x. This Doom 64-inspired level features a lot of tricks and traps, with huge rewards and huge challenges. When getting out (If you get out that is) you will AT LEAST have a Shotgun and a Rocket Launcher. But if you solve all the secret puzzles, you could also get out with a Plasma Rifle and a Soulsphere. Happy hunting!
• Episode 3 MAP00: Baphomet's Demesne. Port of John Romero's SI6IL E5M1. Straightforward.

-The new bosses were a necessity, as while there is a DEHACKED tool for the 32x port, it isn't able to create new thing states, and as such, it was impossible to make custom attacks that weren't in the code already (And those of the boss monsters were removed. And since we don't HAVE the original source code, I had to get creative)

Well, have fun!!!

This hack was given a mentionation by Romero himself in the 2021 Cacowards Thread. (And he sent me a free Beast Box, cool guy!)

(Bonus stuff (Ended up being scrapped or lost))

----------------------

Latest release: v3.1

https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6269/

https://github.com/viciious/d32xr/

Although I didn't own a 32X back in the day, I've recently become fascinated with the tech after watching a few documentaries on YT. The general impression was that had the 32X had better games released for it, it's reputation and maybe faith would have been much better.

DOOM was one of the more promising titles but it was rushed to the market. The mere fact John Carmack (and American McGee, I believe) had managed to get it working and shipped in such a short timeframe is quite astonishing.

Doom 32X Resurrection started when I contacted John Carmack on Twitter back in 2020, asking if he had any recollection of where the source code of the Sega 32X port of Doom might be. He believed it had been long lost. And although I never had a 32X myself, I thought it might be a fun project to reconstruct the missing source code and improve upon it.

I started messing around with original Jaguar Doom sources from Songbird Productions, to see what was missing in order to get the 32X support working again and then I stumbled upon the Calico Doom project, which is a port of Jaguar Doom for modern PCs. That was a godsend since Calico Doom is practically all written in C, which is what you want when you're working on a cross-platform project. The 32X-specific bits had been all but present, but that was comparatively a much smaller problem than reverse engineering m68k assembly. So I basically merged the two things together back together and stared working on getting the hardware portion of things.

Now on to the state of the project thus far:

• Network support via the Zero Tolerance (aka Technopop) link cable.

• Splitscreen coop and deathmatch modes.

• Rendering has been spread across both SH2 processors for better speed.
• The Cyberdemon and Spider Mastermind have been re-added to the game.
• The iconic screen melt effect for scene changes.
• Mip-mapping for walls and flats.
• Low (two pixel modes) 128×144, 128×160, 160×180 and three high detail 224×128, 256×144, 320×180 video modes.
• Anamorphic widescreen support for 16:9 screens.

• Improved visual fidelity (aka ‘high color’) mode.

• Kick-ass FM synth soundtrack courtesy of Spoony Bard: https://www.youtube.com/c/spoonybard13
• Selecting between no music, VGM FM music, or playing music from attached Sega CD (requires Sega CD in addition to 32X).
• Support for 32X+ (CDDA tracks from CUE files) on the MegaSD flashcart.
• Sound driver that uses the Sega CD hardware to offload sound mixing from the 32X.
• New port of "Slough of Despair" by Wavy.
• Stereo panning for game sounds.
• Save ram support - keeps track of finished levels, health, armor, weapons and ammo - eight save slots as well as an auto-save at the end of each level.
• New title screen that resembles the Saturn and PlayStation versions.
• User input is processed at 30FPS, while game logic runs at 15FPS.
• Supports all Jaguar levels (when the binary is made using Jaguar Doom wad), along with sprite directions and monster in-fighting.
• Supports Jaguar HUD assets.
• Level fixes courtesy of Wavy.
• Spectres look the way they did in the original PC version.
• When made with the original Doom 32X wad, has the same limitations on levels and sprites and monster in-fighting.
• Three drawing modes: the regular sector based lighting (although it's better than the original Doom 32X in that sprites also use this lighting, no more 100% bright sprites!), "potato" mode which doesn't texture floors or ceilings for slightly better speed, or the original Doom fading light rendering (which is just a smidgen slower and looks a little muddy given the fifteen bit palette of the 32X).
• 'Always run' option.
• Support for three-button and six-button pads, as well as the Sega mouse. You can choose how to map the primary three buttons in the menu.
• Verified as working on Kega Fusion 3.64, a Model 2 Genesis + Model 2 CD + launch 32X (NTSC), Model 2 MD + 32X (PAL), a CDX + 32X, with a NeoFlash NeoMyth MD and the V1 Mega EverDrive, and also with Mega EverDrive Pro and MegaSD.

To compile the ROM:

• Download and install Chilly Willy's 32X Devkit
• Dump the IWAD file "doom32x.wad" from your Doom32x cartridge. Dump from address 0xBB000 to the end of the ROM.
• Clone https://github.com/viciious/d32xr and run 'make -f Makefile.mars' in the project directory

Are there any significant Jaguar Doom modding resources? I know that there is a map tutorial floating around but is there anything else?

I was working slowly on the original released Doom 3DO code, trying to improve the speed or adding new features, so I thought what's better than setting a deadline for first release before or right on the anniversary day :)

The speed up is at the moment only due to reducing rendering quality. But at least it's kinda playing better in the first few levels with floor textures off and halfing wall columns. I hope to manage to improve performance in future release. There are also additional fun gameplay options, oh and an implementation of the PSX firesky!

http://bugothecat.net/releases/3DO/optidoom/optidoom_main.html

p.s. Just to mention, I don't give an ISO on my site, but a zipfile with only the compiled executable and the 3DO tools necessary to extract all the files and folders from an actual Doom 3DO CD you own or an ISO, copy the new files, compile back the ISO and use the encrypt tool to make this runable on real 3DO. I hope it's not too much for anyone who wants to try it (the tools are easy and intuitive), I just decided to not hand in my site the full ISO but only the legit parts, free executable and the latest source code, just like the community is doing for PC ports. Maybe redundant for an old console that's not commercially viable, but I thought to be consistent. I don't mind if someone else makes an ISO and uploads at other places though.

Runner's notes:

Slight volume warning at the end of the run. Six thousand attempts. The culmination of two and a half years of practice, testing, strategizing. There was a large period of time where I genuinely thought this would never happen, but here we are.

Have fun playing with low-resolution textures I guess.

Also if you wish to follow my latest ROM Hacks or mods, here's the page for it: http://dare-game.net/Roebloz/home.html

So, my question is, are there any console ports that have this same kind of tie to the hardware they are on?

Notably he mentions Sandy Petersen's claims of doing level conversion work for SNES Doom (Randy has no recollection of this, probably because it didn't happen), and seems to remember it being John Coffey instead (which I believe he has mentioned in previous interviews).

In this time we focused on the extraction of Hexen 64 data.

We hope you enjoy it. Here the link to Github:

But DOOM 64 seems like an outlier. It doesn't suffer from blurry visuals at all. The textures are filtered, sure, but still more detailed and sharper than 99% of N64 games. I'm saying 99% because i can't be sure there are other games with the same texture sharpness but i really don't remember a single one and i must have played them all. It's like N64's full screen filters don't apply at all. The quantity of textures is also great, you don't see many areas with a lot of repeated texturing. The frame rate is also pretty much perfect 30fps. No other popular N64 game, of the ones that are considered the best looking, is that stable.

Of all console ports of DOOM this one seems like the smoothest running, despite being most advanced looking. The best console port of DOOM at the time (the PSX version) features simplified maps from the PC originals but DOOM 64 features new maps that have even more complex geometry than those PC originals. PSX version also features some colored lighting but DOOM 64's new lighting and gradients are superior in every way. It's the best looking DOOM game regardless the platform and i think it's also the best looking DOOM engine game as well.

It's funny because back in the day nobody would notice that. Games like Turok and Goldeneye would make most people forget about DOOM 64. And i get it, these have fully 3D engines with polygonal enemies. DOOM 64's sprites are nothing compared to Turok's amazing polygonal dinosaurs. But both Turok and Goldeneye haven't aged as well as DOOM 64. Turok runs smoothly but has repeated textures and this horrible fog while Goldeneye, a very detailed game without fog issues, has unstable frame rate. Later N64 games would also suffer from similar issues. Meanwhile, DOOM 64 was completely forgotten.

I think it's the best looking N64 game along with Banjo-Kazooie and World Driver Championship, the later having the best balance of good 3D graphics, no fog, reasonably detailed textures and sharpness and stable frame rate on average.

I am happy to set up channels and what not to help collaborations with Doom 64 projects, also we play Doom 64 multiplayer mods from time to time as well! And if you're looking for some help, there are people there accustomed to modding various ports.

Now here are some port-specific discords as well, which I should also share, since they have helped the community grow:

So how come the N64 handles this game so well? I'm not an expert but i would bet it's the CPU. The N64 has a very impressive CPU for the time, clocked at 94mhz as opposed to the PS1/Saturn that are clocked at 33 Mhz or less. This is important because DOOM was made before 3D took over and it's mostly a CPU bound game that doesn't make use of 3D hardware as much. I'm not saying the console ports don't make use of 3D hardware, the PS1 does and that's why it manages to run smooth enough (since the CPU is too slow), unlike the Saturn version. And surely DOOM 64 also does make some use of it for all it's extra effects. But it's still a DOOM engine game and i think it benefits a lot more from the N64's powerful CPU and not as much from it's 3D capabilities.

The same should also apply to Duke Nukem 3D, another game before 3D acceleration took over. Not the case with Duke Nukem 64 though. It seems like the N64 version uses a new 3D engine instead of build, making it your average looking/performing N64 3D game. But why? I can see why the Saturn version uses a new engine (Slave) since it's slow CPUs couldn't handle build in any way. And the developers managed to make an extremely good 3D engine for it, while the engine on the N64 port is pretty average.

So why didn't they make a similar game to DOOM 64, using the original build engine? I'm sure the N64 CPU could easily handle it. Why make a 3D engine instead? Did they afraid it would look out of date because you can't look up/down without distorting the image? Personally, i would take a smooth 30fps port of Duke Nukem 3D with similar enchantments to DOOM 64 over a "true" 3D version that doesn't run as well even on a smaller window.

TLDR: The N64 has a powerful CPU and a not so powerful 3D hardware. DOOM and Duke Nukem 3D are CPU bound games so they could benefit from this. DOOM 64 does because it uses the DOOM engine and it looks/runs amazingly but Duke Nukem 64 goes for the 3D hardware and the port isn't as great.

After working on this for almost 2 hours(bc i was converting the mp3 to ap3, lol) i got for you the best PSX Doom for PSP. The best part is that this runs natively on the PSP(Since PSP was backwards compatible with PS1/X games)
You'll need a jailbroken PSP with PRO-C. Theres too much video tutorials on how install it so go and check them! Make sure that your PSP Firmware is 6.61 

Also the game file is on a .rar format, so you'll need WinRar to extract it, download WinRar here: [REMOVED]

Instructions:
Connect your PSP to your computer with the PSP Usb cable.

Move the folder called "Doom" to: PSP/GAME

And that's all, just start to play the terrifying, eerie and creepy PSX Doom on your PSP :)
