Because it's designed for Legacy. (Or if you're running the Eternity version, you'll obviously need Eternity instead.)

Too bad Kaiser didn't make a DSV4 for Boom/ZDoom. I really can't get to handle both ports and it's annoying. Never finished it. :(

The Legacy version of DSV4 should run with GZDoom although I never tried it beyond the first level.

There's also an Eternity version when it used to support fragglescript. Probably won't work with the latest Eternity but could work in GZDoom. I dunno.

Dsv1 requires the retres wad which you can get from TeamTNT's website.

It doesn't. The different linedef types (280 vs. 272) could be resolved but Eternity's colormap handling is incompatible with all other ports and produces some glitches. The Legacy version is definitely the better candidate.

DSV3 used to work with PrBoom.

what do you mean 'used to'? If the wad worked on prboom before but no longer works now, then that would be a fault with the source port, not the wad. Though I could be wrong....

Ahh i ought to play through DSV 1 again, i always thought it had great gameplay despite the simplistic level design... but then to my mind "great gameplay" is getting the SSG early on and wading through hordes of weak-medium monsters in a port with a lot of gore!

On the other hand i didn't find DSV 4 fun in the slightest. Oh look i've been locked in a room full of teleporting chaingunners again. It was like Doom 3!

I can’t make the friendly monsters work. In the first level, I can’t see the friendly demons, the alcoves are empty.
Maybe I don’t load the right PWAD?
