DS Doom Released

[wraggster]

The classic game Doom has appeared on the Nintendo DS, heres all the release news:

The coders behind the release are TheChuckster and WinterMute

DSDoom is a port of Doom to the Nintendo DS based off the Prboom source tree because of its purity and portability.

Features
DSDoom loads any Prboom-compatible IWAD file.
Single-player is playable at very smooth framerates.
Multiplayer network play is possible using DS wifi and prboom_server.exe.
Configuration file.
Sound effects work with stereo panning.
Future Plans

Possibly a better net code or music support (would be very difficult though because of the MIDI files DOOM uses).
Touch screen control.

Heres a

Controls are simple.
Use the directional pad for movement
Hold the X button to sprint
The Y button toggles through your weapon inventory.

The A button fires.

The B button is the "use" key for opening doors, etc.
The R and L buttons allow you to strafe.
The Start button brings up the main menu.
The Select button chooses options in the menus.
Wifi connection
To play online using wifi, you're going to want to have a PC with port 5030 opened/forwarded. Run prboom_server.exe with the number of players specified using the -N command line parameter. There are other parameters for such things as maps and coop; check out the prboom_server documentation. The server waits until the given number of players connect and then the game begins.

Now that you have the server running, you will want to set up the DSes. Make sure that WFC data is set in firmware on the DSes. Next, edit the prboom.cfg file on the card and change the server "nameort" line under misc. You are ready to start. Launch dsdoom.nds and choose the network game option in the initial menu.

touch screen does work in this version!

I tried to play this, but it corrupted the memory stick!!!! The weird thing is before I tried to repair it using "chkdsk". All that Windows could see is a zero byte file name "QU" or something to that effect. But in my m3 adapter, it saw it perfectly....

This really sucks for me.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!

This is great! it runs on my M3 SD w/o patching, and i havent found any bugs, aside from the fact that save/load game is still in there. Good stuff!

Freakin Sweet, Just Got My DS Homebrew Compatable, This Should Be A Nice First Homebrew App To Take For A Test Drive!

I can confirm this works on M3 CF

YAY working doom! Me happy!

although, i personally thing this controll setup would make more sence:

y - run
x - use / door
b - fire
a - weapon scroll

amazing release tho
