RavanalSo i'm checking the port section of #OnionOS as they added a #doom mod pack to the port section but i'm a tad...baffled with the selection.
Here's a long thread:
- For starters, it has a "fixed" version of Goldeneye Doom made for the korean #GP32, one of the first emu. dedicated #handhelds with linux. Mind you, the GP32 was released in 2001 and correct me if im wrong but Goldeneye Doom was first released in 2003.
I'm not sure if it is because of the lack of updates in the #Retroarch port of PrBoom+, but man they have been toying with this old ass outdated mod for 20 years. I thought this was because this specific mod was popular in asia or whatever but the main Onion OS dev is from Denmark so i don't know.
The other mods selected aren't much better either.
- First is Star Wars Doom '94, aka stardoom.zip. Why not include the '97 version instead?
- The next two are A Fistful of Doom and Ultimate Simpsons Doom which are probably the best of the selected mods i suppose, but mostly because of the effort the creators put on these the year both were released, '97 & '98 respectively. But still odd choices for the mod pack.
- This one killed me. Final Fantasy Doom, the one where you play as a Moogle and every sprite is a MSPaint doodle. I never liked this mod at all. It feels like a big shitpost with a FF coat of paint.
- Another mod is Half Life in Doom II which isn't even complete. Its just the first two HL levels before it crashes. This is another wad that has been around the internet forever, usually found in packs made for the #Dreamcast.
- This might be the most specific choice for the pack. This mod was released in 2005 i think, and replaces most sprites with monsters made of real legos. I barely played it but its probably one i could recommend.
- The other is countertrike.wad
Not sure how old is this one, there are several counter strike-themed mods for Doom but i have seen one shared around the PSP communities a lot.
- The last one is the Blood TC mod from 2006. Not even ZBlood, its the version that came before it. it plays okay i guess but its still very outdated.
I really dont know what even think about it. It isn't that the mods are bad, its that the dev only lets you play only this very specific list and nothing else. I really wish Onion OS could let you pick the mods you actually want to play instead of...well, these.
