Semi-unofficial DS Doom 1.1.0 "release"

**jefklak** · December 13th, 2006, 09:41

First announced on gbadev.org forums. I'll quote everything right here, for the lazy.

I grew tired of the only-one-screen-usage of DS Doom 1.0.0 and hacked along myself, adding a zoomable automap on the lower screen together with a whole lot of pretty features. I've had plenty of contact with the DS Doom developers WinterMute and TheCuckster and hoped I could apply the changes to SVN... Well until now, don't hear anything from them. I guess they don't like the changes or my code is too dirty or something, although wintermute was planning on creating an SVN account. Ah well.
You can download the 1.1.0 sourcecode and mess with it yourself, if you like to. I don't really care anymore, good luck with it. I've marked all my changes with comments "// Jefklak [date] [description]".

At least let me distribute this version so other people beyond myself can enjoy some more Doom on the Nintendo DS.

Does this work with the Max Media Dock?

I tried it and it gets to the network or standard game option. As soon as I select it the screen goes blank. I'm not sure it does.

Awesome, this is cool to have the map being shown at all times.

Would touch-screen controlled movement be possible someday (move stylus upward to move forward, pull downward to move backward, and move left and right to turn)?

I did not alter any libfat related source files. If the original DS Doom supports media dock, than yes it does.
Amethyst: basic stylus control is already implemented! You did not try it, did you?

the screen completely go black for me.. not even a backlite black.. just as if the system was off.... it does inintially bring up a window and no matter what option i pick it does that.....

Well, I wish you luck with further programming. One day, Datel will release an update for the MMD that will allow more friendly homebrewing. And maybe they will replace the Compact Flash card requirement, since that seems to be the real culprit of the device's incompatibility...
