[On Hold] Doom 32x: Delta

I don't know if you can get ahold of saxman, the creator of a lot of the Doom 32X utilities, but I remember, at one point he made a modified ROM that had more levels in it, so there's a chance you could have all the levels in one ROM instead of separate packs

The levels themselves aren't the problem. There is just not enough storage in the 32x ROM to have all the textures of Episode 1, 2 and 3 at the same time. For example e-doctor was able to cram all of Doom 1's maps inside and they ran (Laggily) with the limited amount of textures. Here, we aim for good performance with a good amount of PC textures. (Episode 3 will be more faithful to the PC original in terms of textures since a lot of the textures are reused as opposed to Episode 2)

I am starting to port E3M2, wish me luck!

E3M2 and none other than E3M5 have been ported, and they barely gave me any trouble! (Okay I sorta cheated with E3M5 by using the Jaguar Doom map but restoring things to be a bit more PC accurate, I simply did that because otherwise I would have needed to cut huge areas.) Expect a video soon.

BTW, will it be the Episode 4 here? In OP I see only the first 3 episodes.

Considering how hard it was to port the Episode 4 maps with fixed geometry (Because Episode 4s maps are big enough to make the game crash) no, I am going for the original 3 Episodes. (And hey, Thy Flesh Consumed wasn't released at that time, so Episode 1-3 would have been the best they could do)

Update on GBA Delta: It's going great!

Anyways, I have ported E1M1-E1M5 and I'm starting E1M6 today. If anyone is wondering for a release, I'd say early February the end of this week. For the time being, here's some photos:

Edit: Just finished E1M6, 7 , and 8 today, so the release will be much earlier (the end of this week should be the release hopefully).

Edit Edit: E1M9 is finished! Based it on the original Jaguar map but changed geometry/textures accordingly. Now all thats needed is polishing.

Start to E1M1                                      That squiggly slime area

 

       

Start to E1M2                                     Ah, chainsaw! The great communicator!

 

       

Start to E1M3                                     The slime pit

 

       

Start to E1M4                                     This area runs really bad

 

       

Start to E1M5                                     What satanic shenanigans are happening here?

On my end, I just finished E3M3.

Sick. I always liked E3M3

Can't wait to see the new enemy for E3! Chaingunner perhaps?

I never said there would be a new enemy in Episode 3. It was only for Episode 2.

E3M4 and E3M6 are being worked on at the moment. Also, there may be some spiders in the final release, I dont have an anti-spider spray. ;)

Doom GBA: Delta episode one is out with a trailer!

Here's the download:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/17hPYhD178elMKfOa-kn2bUZ0XTl07w_J/view?usp=sharing

Anyways this is the first release. If there is a mistake in one of the maps or if I overlooked something, please let me know! As for if I'll work on an episode 2, yes I will. But not now probably. But I have been tinkering with the GBA Doom editor and I found that I actually can add new textures without it breaking anything. However I'm still quite limited due to the ROM size but thanks to a tool called XSE, I can increase the ROM size. But I don't know if GBA Doom will be able to handle that big of a wad, so I'm still not sure. If it does work, I may consider doing a redux of episode 1 using this method.

Have fun!

Hi there, I did a tiny let's play of the 32X episode 1 rom hack

I put the SNES music 'cause I think it sounds better, combined with the sound effects (ignore the ManyCam logo down there, I forgot to disable the camera heheh)

I have finished importing E3M4, so only E3M6-E3M8 are left.

Can I upload some more let's plays of the ROM hack? I mean, if you agree of course

Of course you can! You dont need my permission to upload let's plays of my creations, as long as you leave credit where credit is due ;) Otherwise my non-existant lawyers will be in touch.

Of course, I always leave the link to this thread

Keep up the good work! People deserve to play this hack that sorta unfucks the 32X version :D

Kinda hard to unfuck something that is beyond fucked 

E3M6 and E3M7 ARE DONE!!! Only E3M8 and E3M9 left.

@TheLeshahas brought us THIS monstrosity.

AARG, my ears!

So, the Spider Mastermind will not be making a comeback to 32x. However, in an interesting turn of events, the Icon of Sin will. (Without the spawners, of course, but hey, at least he'll be there.)

All maps except E3M9 are finished, so expect the full release this week!

So it turns out Episode 2's bonus level was never there to begin with because of me accidentally deleting it when using SLADE. So, guess there's only two bonus maps now. Also release scheduled for today or tommorow.

Release is being pushed back to tommorow to make some improvements over some things such as the Berserk palette.

@TheLesha has found some things about the title screen so the release will be delayed again unfortunately.

Doom GBA: Delta episode 2 is out!

No trailer, but I can show some screenshots:

I did say I was going to take a small break, but I was like "eh doesn't matter". What made the release super quick was due to me learning what the replace tool is in Doom Builder, so making maps was super easy. Also, as 32x: Delta didn't have an extra map, I made my own, that being a shortened version of Barrels of Fun! Not to mention that the Infernum Lords as well as the Illusions are here as well.

If there are any issues, please let me know.

Have fun =)

UPDATE: Just released v1.1 updates to episode 1 and episode 2 to address small issues. Changelog in the readme.

UPDATE UPDATE: v1.2 has released for episode 2. Only fixing a tiny texture bug in E2M2.

Hello, my dudes! It's me, again (*insert yaay sounds*).

I'm so sorry that this hack has to be dealyed, but I feel like we're almost there.

To be honest, I'm not that familiar with Doom's LZSS compression and I'm not really a programmer (I'm just an amateur), so may I ask you guys with some help with it? If you could, please, write me an e-mail to here: slendik75@gmail.com, as notifications from Doomworld don't show up for some reason. I also have accounts on Discord and Telegramm and other services, but I don't feel like sharing those contacts to the public (you know, privacy and stuff).

By the way, I've discovered some REALLY interesting stuff in the ROM, which could (or could not) prove that the multiplayer for the 32x version was planned!

Anyways, if anybody helps me, then I'd be very thankful and they'll be credited (of course!). Maybe I'll even buy a chocolate bar for them :-)

Thanks in advance and have a nice day!

P.S. Thanks to Erick194, I can now use a disassembler, so I've changed something. You guys will absolutely love the new improvements in the final release, I promise ;-)

Can you send me said bonus map? I lost the original bonus map so we could implement it.
