After fiddling with dosbox, I have recently been playing through the original iwad levels using the original doom executables.
Gotta have that sound blaster music for the full nostalgic experience.
I'm rather surprised how close I am able to get vanilla doom's controls to what I normally use on source ports.
I'm just not old-school enough to use original controls.
WASD+Mouse with 'joyb_speed' set to '29' (enables 'always run').
I've found the biggest problem with dosbox is getting the sound in sync with the game.
A stock config file tends to have a nasty sound delay, but I managed to fix this by setting 'blocksize' to '256'.
But without a relatively powerful cpu, it tends to cause popping sounds (my 4200+ X2 has no problems, can't say the same for my P3 866mhz.)
