Doom/Doom II, no longer running
Doom/Doom II, no longer running
I've had a look at the FAQ and stickies, and tried a few reinstalls of DOSbox and given it a new "C drive", but when I run Doom, I get as far as working out my settings, then hitting Save settings and run Doom.
After that, DOSbox goes back to just a C:\ prompt. I've tried running the executable Doom, but when I do this, it just gives me the release date of Doom and nothing else happens. I'm quite sure it's the right files, any help is much appreciated.

Why not to use Doom ports?

There are many Doom ports that run Doom on Windows without any modification, like Chocolate Doom...almost all others can be configured to run Doom in a very loyal way. VERY loyal. Including pixalization, resolution.....dosraider wrote:Maybe he wants to try the original game?

Yes, but full original experience costs some framerate issues. + you can't have full original experence unless you have a time machine. Game like Doom (and other DOS games) can't be taken out of the mood and the context of his era. It's like trying to loyally recreate ABBA show ![Happy :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

What I can't do, is learning you to work with a PC.
So this is the best you can get.
Follow it from the first to the last letter, and it will work.
If it doesn't work you screwed up somewhere, best thing is to start allover from scratch.
Delete all you've done t'll now.

it seems pretty full; it's got like 60 some files just called by numers, bunch o wads and apps, diff. types of files, windows batch files, couple o setups, even an HTML but i think it's more of an add fromthe site i got it from.

What kind of files ?
Are there some EXE files? That could help find out what version you have.
Also:
->Did you get that far that dosbox starts up with C: prompt?
->What's your C mount line?
Can be helpfull to answer your questions.

It ain't keymap you need, but whatever.
About Doom:
You must have a subfolder DOOM with all those files in it, it must be a subfolder of your mounted C, as you were too lazy to state what your mounted C is, I won't guess after it.
Run dosbox,
input:
cd doom
setup
You should get soundsetup
choose:
SB or SB pro
A 220
IRQ 7
DMA 1
HDMA 5 (? If needed)
Run the game with doom
If YOU want more precise info, you will have to learn to state precise info friend.
There are several versions-(rips-demo-shareware-whatever)- versions of doom.
You hardly can expect us to look in our crystal globe to find out what you talking about.

i put in cd doom then it said "You are still on drive z; change to a mounted drive with C:". i guess my "mounted C" should be c:\dosprog\ as it says in the mount intro that that will create a C drive with \dosprog as it's contents. it says replace dosprog with my current games directory. How do i find out what my games directory is?
