Playing PSX Wads on PC ?

[Ata]

Hello, I would like to know is there's a possibility to play to the Wads of the PSX Doom on a PC, maybe by extracting the files from de PSX CD. Some of the levels are very different, it would be interresting. Thank You :)

go to zophar.com to find a PSX Emulator, EPSX seems to work best.

or try the Console Doom wad which has some PSX maps, minus colored lighting though. You can get it here: http://doomdepot.doom2.net/ go to the favorite wads section.

These levels are converted from PSX to PC

Hope this helps.

Hmm... It'd be kind of interesting if somebody went and added colored lighting to Console Doom, through say Zdoom or something. Not me, though, because I really don't know that much about PSX Doom or Zdoom editing, nor do I really care all that much. Just a random thought I had.

Thank you so much for Console Doom and other PSX wads Gentlemen, I'm going to play these levels immediately ! PSX Doom was my first Doom version I have played, I'm sure I'm going to love these levels on my PC, with jDoom for example ! You're The Bests !!!

a while back i started making a PSX doom with colored lighting for jdoom, had the full first episode, then my mom thought it would be a good idea to delete my work to free up room on my hard drive, so much for that idea. I'd do it again, but i need the motivation and possibly a little help.

The physcological kind? Having that happen would piss me right off.

It was my first, sorta real attempt at a project to. I meant help with working on the project again hah

I have posted about this before..

Use wintex and get the wads out of the /abin dir on the CD and merge them into a precreated PC Doom wad. Then you can view the files inside the PSX wads. I have done this myself when I used to use Winshit.

It really works, but Wintex cannot read the graphics formats, sort of like the situation with the Doom alpha GFX.

Worth a try, but Wintex could not read the level formats either.

But go with the emulator, I had one going once and it had music and everything.

what can it read then? just the files names?

yes, you can only view the files from the CD.

The wad files are in a different format (but still contains the basic wad structure (linedefs, ssectors, segs, blockmap, including a new category called 'leafs') but opening it in a editor won't help much.)

The only files you can actually get your hands on is the .RAW files (wav files) and the .LCD files which contains a list of the sound effects.

yeah i've used a program that can rip those files. What about the PSX fire sky? was that just taken from the intro sequence? I always kinda wondered, do u know how the N64 graphics were extracted?

[Kaiser]

The fire sky is a generated image. Quite similar to this


The N64 graphics were dumped using a plugin for a n64 emulator.

oh ok, ive used the tools out there that ive found, and none of them seemed to work, so i always wondered.
