Recommended Posts

Does anyone know any doom utility that allows you to
play custom wads without the typical MSDOS:doom -file mywad.wad?

Yes, you could use a windows shortcut.
Right click doom.exe, choose make shortcut.
Right click this shortcut and go into properties. Go into program and then in the command linebox you'll see something like this:D:\JUEGOS\DOOM\DOOM2.EXE
just add -file mywad.wad at the end of this line!
Now whenever you double click this shortcut , doom will start up with the wad you have specified.

Uh, you could use a source port of some kind.

Get JDoom, the Kicks front-end lets you load as many PWADs you want and plus you get the cool JDoom features.

You can check out some of the many frontends available for free download here at doomworld. Read through the text files and info to see if one of them might work for you.

The front end with Legacy is the easiest I've used,although many people seem to have problems,I've never had one.

I guess you'll wait forever, since he's sick

Legacy is probably the easiest and most organized. However, I am just starting to use JDoom and I think it's pretty awesome too.

Oh, one more thing. If you have a slow computer, you should probably use Legacy. I've heard old computers cannot run JDoom.

My computers not even that old and it still has trouble running JDoom at the absolete lowest detail level (with MD2 models). I think its time for a new comp (ex. AMD XP2100+, Geforce 4 Ti4600).

start a new text document


"your port name" -file "yourwadname"


and save it as "loadwad.bat"

2x click it while its in the exe dir of the port you want to run.

Hehe, only trouble is...he just bought it and it didn't come with a CD burner! Argh, if I was there I would have gotten everything with it. Well, the price is right :)

CD Burners are cheap at the moment and its a fairly painless upgrade.


Well I get my cd's burned for free anyway. :-)
