Portable Doom

[Marius]

I'm in college and i live on campus, so i spend alot of time in school or in the computer labs. My new favorite accessory that I take everywhere is my usb key. It's so great cause it was relatively cheap and is so sturdy that i can keep it in my pocket all the time without it breaking. :) Well i was bored a couple of days ago. It was 4 in the morning and i was finishing some homework in the computer lab, when i think to myself, "Hey, i wonder if i could run doom from my usb key?". So i went online and quickly downloaded zdoom and the shareware version of ultimate doom. I installed zdoom to my usbkey, added the wadfile and voila! It worked like a charm! Zdoom runs perfectly, and can still autosave properly. It's nice having doom with me wherever i go. Of course, i might get in trouble if one of the schools IT people sees me, but it's still pretty cool. Anybody else ever run doom from a usb key?

No need, for what do i have a N-Gage? ;)

There's also the Doom GBA games and Doom for the GP32...

And gameboy doom

Heh, read my post :D.

Hmm, (z)Doom for DS would be an invention.
Playing it like you play Metroid Hunter, with touchscreen, its almost as playing a FPS on the computer with mouse and keyboard.

THE best portable Doom available is ZDoomZ (nothing to do with Zdoom) for Zodiac. It's quality and best of all 100% free.

Well of course there is a reason to use a usb key that beats the ngage, or gameboy doom hands down. And that is that with the usb key you can load pwads. Can't do that with a portable console version of doom. :P

Wasn't there a version of Doom made for cellphones a while back? If so, what models does it work for?

GBA Doom is pretty fun, although basic in places, and very blocky.

[DaniJ]

With ZDoomZ on Zodiac I can play any PWADS (doom(2) exe compatible) I want. I either hotsync them over or stick them on an sdcard for play latter. That's what I did last week with the new_stuff and I've been playing them on the train to/from work each day this week.

I just install zdoom and zdaemon on any pc I get my hands on. I stay undeprived pretty well that way. But it would be nice to have some sort of *quality* pocket-sized doom or whatnot.

May be helpful. I dunno.

I might get GBA DOOM, it should work well on my GBA SP.

My old "Escom Paradigma" 486 DX4 100 notebook runs vanilla Doom just peachy ^_^

[Caco-Puff]

Appearantly the PSP's memory stick has capabilities for storing games,But theres no place to get them yet.Supposedly they'll be available through Sony's connect service.

I hope some old games like DooM will be avaialable,Along with PSP demos.

If you have a Palm Pilot or Palm OS or compatible...

If it had it so that the left hand buttons had different functions from the right hand ones, I'm all for it.

Yes, I have it on my Nokia 3650. It's the same version that the N-Gage uses. It only supports the shareware version of Doom. From what I hear, the GP32 version seems the best because it can run the 4 doom iwads and vanilla pwads, and there is a wireless link card for multiplayer (assuming you could find someone else with one to play with).
