Is it really that important to be 100% identical down to the pixels? Seems a little bit of a ridiculous goal even for a highly accurate TC. Just my two cents.

Believe it or not there are people who like to sit and stare at their games instead of actually playing them.

[Erick194]

Sure you might be right that this is not gonna be 100% accurate but, it wasn't me the one who was worried about the status bar and its famous black bar but I like how it looks using both ways anyway, besides I was waiting for Blastfrog's reply which he hasn't replied yet because he came with the idea about the "fixing" of the status bar.. anyway, I thank him for worrying about this.

 

Well, I'm still working on in my projects which have taken me many efford, here I show you a video of Doom 64 [GEC] Master Edition's intro with new funtions for the engine! Hope you like it! :)

 

 

[doom12]

cool! I love doom 64.

Is that a demo loop? Also I see the custom credits mention Samuel Villareal for programming, James Haley for additional code, Simon Howard for network system...

Sounds like the credit screen from Doom 64 EX.

Yes, this is a demo loop, besides this is customizable, you can also create diverse PSX Doom/Final Doom, and Doom 64 demo style sequences

This is the image taken from Doom 64 EX because it is a conversion of Doom 64 EX to Doom 64 M.E. for a modified GZDoom. this was just to respect the Doom 64 EX credits, maybe it will be modified later, though. Thanks for posting, Quasar. By the way, what do you think about the PSX DOOM status black bar?

 

Greetings to Gez and Quasar. :)

So, how's this thing going?

[thexgiddoomerx]

this project had much potential

[Erick194]

 

who said that this project ended?, that I remember I have not said anything yet

[Nevander]

Maybe he typo'd. The "d" is right beside "s"

[CoTeCiO]

Or he just assumed. Unfortunately there is a tendency that when people stop posting progress on their projects, it means it was abandoned. It has happened a million times before around here. It's good to know you're still working on it!

[CoTeCiO]

I will add my two cents respecting the famous black bar at the bottom. Being completely technical, that black bar is in fact present in the PSX version when played on a console and was added with the only intention of compensating the CRT TVs overscan and making the status bar completely visible, but it was not meant to be seen. In fact, If I'm not wrong, when played on a console, there are also vertical black bars for the same purpose. Now, this would be my own approach, but I would remove it since it is completely unnecessary on a computer monitor because there is no overscan and it gets on the way and looks ugly. Instead, I would move the status bar to the very bottom and in turn increase the height of the actual viewing area. It would look a little bit different to the original, but doing these kind of enhancements are pretty much welcome. Take into consideration Doom 64 EX, which added uncapped framerate, high resolutions, mouse look, etc., yet it still plays like the original. That would be perfect for this project.

 

Now, if it's too much of a worry, maybe adding an option of "overscan compensation" to enable o disable the black bar could be a last resort to keep everyone happy.

Is this project dead?

Will we get to play it in this life time? 😁

 

[Gerardo194]

Hi, long time no see, been very busy!!! 

This project is not dead, is still alive just like the id's RPG... @Alfaifiyou will play it, we really want that everyone plays it but when we discover something good suddenly a new discovery appears and that puts a little set back!!! My brother @Erick194 has done something really good that I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. You can see it in this thread from @DeXiaZ: 

We always think big for the community and my brother is putting all his efforts on this although it takes its time, is not that easy... Stay tuned!! Thanks for your concern.

[Erick194]

Hello, sorry for being late but I have many things to do; do not be worried, I haven't abandoned my projects. Here you go several screenshots of all PSXDOOM, PSXFINALDOOM and DOOM64.

Very impressive, very clean! Well done!

[scalliano]

Fantastic. The D64 shots are absolutely spot on.

[thexgiddoomerx]

Perfect

[SteelPH]

Lookin' forward to it!

[ZinBinks]

This is probably one of the most accurate PSX/64 projects I've ever seen done on GZDoom.

If you are going for accuracy (not starting up that aspect ratio argument again), then I suggest adding a new HUD message option where the messages are right above the status bar like in real PSX Doom instead of the top of the screen.

Video of what I mean here:

 Hello my friend, thanks for replying. About adding the HUD message above the status bar, we have already done that severals months ago. We haven't posted updates about this because we are busy with a project that is about to start: Master Edition Doom for the Play Station.

[seed]

I must've been living under a rock for the past months to completely miss this considering how much I like PSX Doom and especially Doom 64. Until today.

 

Just stopped by to say that I'm amazed by what I'm seeing and I'm really looking forward to all projects 👊.

[Erick194]

I appreciate your comment @Agent6, but I'm sure everyone will love this Gzdoom Master Edition, now PSXDOOM looks more like the original, with the right color reduction like the PSX Console. Check these images.

Also DOOM64 with PSXSoftware Render ?, It looks great.

You'll have to learn, then, because it's pretty much vaporware.
