On a side note: Is there any way fix that pause that occurs when you begin playing a map in prboom? If I hold down a directional key during this period things go all sorts of wrong. It really interferes with demo recording.
I don't know of an ideal solution. It's a real PITA. You just have to start pressing the key at just the right moment (late enough so it doesn't lock up, but early enough so you haven't wasted time), but it's hard to get a quick start. A fair proportion of my recording attempts are abandoned after the first half-second for precisely that reason. :(
That doesn't happen with the old prboom 2.02, but there is a bit more of a wait for the screen to come up (depends on the resolution). You do get a quick start though (that's why I used it for, e.g., my Icarus map10 UV Pacifist demo recently). The main drawback with using that old version is that it will only record a Boom format demo - you don't have the range of compatibility levels that you do in the more recent prbooms.
Note: Prboom 2.02 is essentially the same as Boom 2.02 (it's a straight Windows port of it), so you'll need to extract the dehacked file from the wad (using, e.g., Wintex) and add it to the command line, as described in Donce's initial post.
