As many wads as you want, mouse support, but no better resolutions.
Hmm? Doom95 loads as many wads as you want, and has mouse support. The mouse fails on Windows 2000 and Windows XP, where the DOS version does not work correctly with sound anyway. Reportedly there was a release which was missing dmouse.vxd, the file that manages the mouse for Doom95.

if i recall doom95 was really a port done by microsoft to show off directX, new at that time.
I don't think that's the main reason they made it. Mostly it's because it was simply convenient to make a version of the game specifically for their OS, since the game was popular... it just helped people like Windows 95 more if they could play DOOM on it.
thats why the source isnt out, i would guess.
Heh. I don't think Microsoft tends to release the sources of its products.
features i remember being broken
demos and at time res
The demo recording DLL has an issue that won't let you record. You can use the command line to record (on Run, a shortcut, or a batch file) or get the unofficial patch that fixes the issue on the launcher altogether. The GFX resolutions aren't particularly buggy at all.
more common to get the famous visplane overflow, or atleast i remembered it happening more on doom95
Obviously it's there since this is pretty much a port of the game, not a modification. And it is generally less frequent than on id's DOS engine, since the threshold was increased.
some wads would not work
Very rarely, unless you mean the ones that require a DeHackEd patched engine to work. DeHackEd is specific to the original DOS engine, naturally.
res changes could be a bit strange. spirits or lines would be missing.
What's that? Spirits...?
i dont think i ever got online/net play to work.
I believe it's not made for online play... or if it is in part, that's an unexploited or unknown part of the engine. Basically it offers local networking support.
most noobs dont know any better.
Newbies who still need to find out some things are one thing; then there's people who go on and on repeating the same bullshit they vaguely heard or think they recall. Newbies generally gradually inform themselves. I don't know about these others...
