But let me ask you first, do you know how to use DEUTEX and DEHACKED? 6 minutes ago, XXx_D00MSL4Y3R_69_xXX said: Im using Dosbox for chrome and I cant use download or install to play the game and I dont know what else to do than use this website https://js-dos.com/games/doom.exe.html As i suppose, you are learning. So to facilitate you the thing, i recommend you a better choice for start Dooming:Doom Retro Just download this, unzip it and put Doom2.wad, Doom.wad, TNT.wad, Plutonia.wad on the same folder as Doom Retro. After you have done that, comeback and i will explain you how to load new wads EDIT: If you don't have Doom2.wad, Doom.wad, TNT.wad, Plutonia.wad, download this and do the same. 2 Share this post Link to post

Wagi Posted May 7, 2020 1 hour ago, ZeroTheEro said: Hell Revealed and Hell Revealed 2 Memento Mori Alien Vendetta If you're going to play Hell Revealed 1 or 2 in Dosbox, you will have to play in a limit removing port and not just vanilla Doom2.exe. HR2 will absolutely make you hit the sprite limit, and some maps even cause an intercepts overflow. 0 Share this post Link to post
DuckReconMajor Posted May 7, 2020 Like others I believe there are much better ways to run the game in your situation. But anyway I played Back to Saturn X E1 some on vanilla via Dosbox and it was great. 1 Share this post Link to post
TheNoob_Gamer Posted May 7, 2020 Just a reminder, you can install source ports on DosBOX as well, thus enabling you to play some modern wads. (https://www.doomworld.com/classicdoom/ports/?platform=1) 3 Share this post Link to post

Lampenpam Posted May 13, 2020 You really should just download a source port and play on that. You can use Freedoom as the basegame and play custom wads, if you don't want to buy the original wads. Though it's not like they are hard to find on the internet anyway... Or is there a specific reason you want to torture yourself playing in dosbox? in a browser even? 2 Share this post Link to post
Pełzająca Część Twarzy Posted May 14, 2020 Plutonia 2 is great and should work on vanilla Doom 2. As unofficial sequel to Plutonia, maybe even it is a right way to play it. Just remember it use Plutonia as a IWAD 0 Share this post Link to post
Roofi Posted May 17, 2020 You can get VPO on some HR2 maps so I won't recommand it , even if I consider it as a vanilla megawad. I recommand you to play Mars War by Nathan Lineback 1 Share this post Link to post

maxmanium Posted May 18, 2020 Freedoom is not compatible with most DOS ports tho because it uses a DEHACKED lump with BEX strings. You can load it in MBF but the strings don't work properly. Also, the fact that the filenames are 9 characters (>8) long, so you have to type -iwad freedo~2.wad or whatever. 0 Share this post Link to post

Im not sure how it operates on a pc... their game wad? Or thier OS? Thier app for phones/tablets is ran on GZdoom, it only comes with freedoom 1 and 2 game wads, you have to add your own extras easily. 0 Share this post Link to post
ZeroTheEro Posted May 18, 2020 Freedoom as an IWAD (Internal WAD) will work just fine in PC (Windows sourceports the like). 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark Pulse Posted May 18, 2020 Most people admittedly won't be playing on DOS or on DOS-based source ports, especially since now there's the Chocolate Doom sourceport that prides itself on being as close to Vanilla as one can get. But I guess for the hardcore few, well, there's only so much you can replace without having altered EXEs itself. 0 Share this post Link to post

With that said, one significant portion of the userbase cannot be ignored and that's those who aren't aware what a source port is or Chocolate Doom in the first place. Given that Steam/GOG versions come with DOSBox, the amount of people who experience Doom for the first time is likely done through these versions. Its the easiest road i guess, so DOSBox remains relevant. 0 Share this post Link to post

You can load it in MBF but the strings don't work properly. The DEHACKED lump is entirely cosmetic and you should be able to play it fine. I'm surprised to hear that it doesn't work with MBF though, since MBF supports BEX strings (it's a Boom derivative) and also supports loading DEHACKED lumps from WADs. So it ought to work fine and it sounds like there's a Freedoom bug that needs to be fixed. 1 Share this post Link to post
