This is a good version of Doom - but it suffers from some problems, it won't run custom WADS and the key mapping is no good if you have a non-standard PPC, e.g. XDAII, MIO A701 etc..
Do a google for "gfDoom", it's a new WM5 compatible port that fixes ALL the problems, it supports on screen stylus control and skins ! I had to mess around with the settings a bit to get it perfect, but it's all explained in the README

Could not download. Page could not be found.

Tried to download again. Page not found. Tried URL for Jimmy, nothing there except screen page with no options avaiable.l Please fix.

Try DoomPPC at http://kokak.free.fr/DoomGLES.htm#downloads
It plays just like the desktop PC version.
|
Frank, you really do need to try the gfDoom - the URL is
http://home.freeuk.com/gamefreaks/pql/gfDoom.htm

Just checked the DoomPPC referenced above at kokak.free.fr requires a 2700g chip as found in Dell axim x50v & x51v. gfDOOM should run on any device
|
I went to site. Just how and what do you install on Dell Axim X51v? I tried to install but couldn't get anything to run. Said there was a file missing. Any help available?
|
There are so many doom files I'm not sure what I need for Dell Axim X51v PDA. Can someone please advise just what files/programs to download and exactly how they are installed and where. Any help would be appreciated.

Biker_Bob or anyone who reads this. I went to the site you provided URL for. Just what exactly is an IWAS? How do you get an IWAD and just how many are there? Where do you get them. The link to take you to an IWAD at the URL isn't working. It takes you to www.jimmy.com and nothing is there. Talk about being confused, I am #1 confused person. Just what do I need to get Doom up and running? Sorry for leaving so many messages!

gfDoom is the game engine, the actual program if you like. In order to run it requires a WAD file, which contains the actual game data.
DOOM was (and still is) copyrighted Shareware NOT freeware and the way that ID software enforced the license was that the actual DOOM program was free, but the WAD files were not.
So, gfDoom is a free game engine, but you need at least one registered full WAD file from ID software - hence the nickname "IWAD".
IWADs are not freely distributable, I cannot help you in obtaining one because of the copyright.
If you do get an IWAD (episodes are Doom, Doom2, Ultimate Doom, Plutonia etc.) the gfDoom engine will then let you play all the freely available PWAD game files on the 'net.

BTW - I have made a skin for gfDoom to allow it to be played on 240 * 240 devices (T830 Treo 750 etc).
PM me if you want it an I'll email it to you.

2Biker_Bob:
Please, tell me how to make 240x240 skin by myself. I have iPAQ hw6510d and all my tries are unsuccesseful.

OMOIKANE - the trick is to make your skin the usual 240*320 BUT put everything in the bottom 240 * 240 square. The gfDoom engine ignores the top 240 * 80 part. The transcript of the skin I made is below. Note that I also put the buttons IDKFDAQ across the top of the screen (to help out on the difficult bits :o)

Thanks, but not working. All i have is skin with windows scrollbar on the right for part of second after console (loading). Then quitting.
Please, test it - neve.narod.ru/files/default.zip
If success goto 6510 failure
|
I tested it - if you change your screen offset to 26, the bitmap displays correctly.
Your buttons don't work because you don't need to include the missing 80 pixels in the coordinates. For example my skin has two buttons on the top left where you have two buttons. My coords are:
BUTTON 0 17 0 26 SOUND
BUTTON 18 36 0 26 QUIT
whereas yours are:
BUTTON 2 17 82 104 PAUSE
BUTTON 20 35 82 104 WEAPON_1
-just subtract the 80 pixels from all your coords and you should be OK :o) Nice skin BTW - mine's horrible looking.
|
No. Do not work in any way.
But thanks for help.
