I made a convenient BAT DOOM launcher

None of the DOOM launchers available satisfied my needs, so I made one. It’s in batch because I initially wanted to do something basic but I ended up hyperfocusing and making it a bit more elaborate. If I knew from the start I would have made it in something more portable outside of Windows. Features: * Optional autostart of loopMIDI and nuked-sc55 for that sweet Roland MIDI sound * Supports multiple source ports Chocolate Doom, Crispy Doom, Woof!, GZDoom * Supports multiple IWADS Doom 1, Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Chex Quest, Chex Quest 3 Vanilla, Final DOOM, freedoom * Togglable enhancement PWADs Smooth Doom, Voxel Doom II * Togglable French mode sorry * Supports loading PWADs and DeHackEd patches * THE KILLER FEATURE IN MY OPINION: THE ABILITY TO SAVE THE FINAL LAUNCH COMMAND IN A NEW .BAT FILE FOR QUICK ONE-CLICK ACCESS Some values are hardcoded for my setup, sorry, but again it’s mostly something I made for myself, it should be fairly easy to modify it to tailor to your own liking. If you want to polish it into a more general-use ready to distribute form and/or port it to Python or Bash or something, please go right ahead! https://gist.github.com/Siphonay/f6441aae0b6dc7d554b0643e846db73a [https://gist.github.com/Siphonay/f6441aae0b6dc7d554b0643e846db73a]

Anyone know which #Quake2 #SourcePort #OpenSource engine ports still work on #Windows7 32 bit? This screen is 1280x800 which doesn't quite work.

Edit: Oh and it can't be better than DX9 and uh... An ancient OpenGL.

I'm honestly not even sure that OpenGL functions on here... Nothing has successfully initialized it yet...

Added some #games to my list.

If you know some #pc Games with a #sourceport ,open source #remake etc. Feel free to tell me :)

Inhaltswarnung: List about retrogames remakes from fans

Haven't been able to compile and run the Quake sourceport Ironwail on my Linux laptop all morning yesterday. It crashes on launch. I thought it was a problem with the audio or video drivers, but last night I had an idea. I accidentally carried over my full config from my main PC, and I thought that was crashing it. Still wasn't the case, just tested that....

Oh wow randomly found a really good article on Doom source ports, explaining what they are, citing examples, and how to use them. The only thing missing, is my favorite sourceport and launcher: Woof! and Doom Explorer. So, in the spirit of helping any one wanting to get into Doom, I'm pinning this on my profile.

Second link is the github page for Woof as my personal recommendation, but you could also use DSDA-Doom.
And third link is the download page for Doom Explorer, with the caveat that it currently does not have a Linux build and for that I use ZDL instead.

The RetroRGB Guide to DOOM Source Ports

The joke we tell ourselves about Doom is that it "runs on everything." We've seen it run on pregnancy tests, potatoes, lawnmowers. Well, what about modern PCs? With so much attention on FPGA, I initially found it odd that the Doom community didn't seem to care much about FPGA recreations or about
