Doom64EX for AmigaOs4.1

Do we have the possibility to port Doom64EX Plus for AmigaOs4.1?

Under MorphOS the port has already been done thanks to BeWorld. It would be great if someone could do it.

Here we would also have an application that already supports SDL3.

I know it's summer and everything is a bit sleepy but still it would be really great if someone could do it.

Wow, I did'nt know that the Nintendo 64 version was so different from the original one. That should be interesting!

@Maijestro

Maybe play around with this in the meantime?

Works with prboom.

Thanks for the hint, but I still couldn't get it to work. Fiddling around is no longer an option for me and I want to use everything out of the box.

HunoPPC will most likely do this port. I have spoken to him

That's cool, those WADs that I linked too isn't the same experience anyhow, I just thought that maybe it could make the waiting a bit easier

You just need to edit the config-file and choose the first wad and first deh-file. I use the 1.4-wad.

Checked. Should work on AOS4 (SDL2) thanks to @BSzili. Thanks for your work and sharing sources !!!!

@smarkusg

That is sooooooo cool. Thanks for the port and also here I would like to thank @BSzili who did the groundwork and added the BigEndian patches.

@smarkusg

Exceptional work sir. Great stuff

Well done!

@walkero @TheMagicSN
Thank you. It is very motivating to hear this from you

I still need to test a few things and test. @Maijestro is helping me - thanks
If anyone supports HunoPPC and has access to its FTP the file made of my test version is in my home directory.
This way I can also support HunoPPC and thank him for his long-term work with AOS4 and motivate other people to support him

The current version of Doom64EX+ under AOS4 is updated. It works most of the things that are in the SDL3 version.
It uses the current file and full OpneGL is enabled, along with texture combiners.
Instead of FMOD it uses fluidsynth, the SDL3 replacement is SDL2+GL4ES.

Doom64Ex+ uses WAD from the 2020 "remaster" version. Many people believe that the open source version of Doom64EX+ is even better than the original version that was released.
To play under the game port on AOS4 you need the original WAD from this version.
Currently available for purchase for $2 on GOG

For those who are MorphOS users - @BeWorld has released its very good port to this platform and the WAD file will work on it.

Let's start with a small thing - Doom 64 is NOT another port of the original that other consoles of the time, such as PlayStation or Sega Saturn, got. This is another installment, the existence of which most gamers may not have known or may have heard a handful of information from even a neighborhood buddy equipped with a Nintendo 64 with a cartridge with this title.
The first impression is... electrifying. The soundtrack of the game strikes the ears. Those tuned to the next, filled with the essence of rock music melodies must expect gloomy, atmosphere-filling ambient, which can instead settle those identified with PSX or Saturn's Doom. The locations are covered in gloomy colors, and this time there is no question of more availability of bright rooms. The composed setting creates a slightly horror-like atmosphere, giving a sense of emptiness and loneliness in the fight against our enemies.
The remaster of Doom 64 includes an additional campaign, The Lost Levels with the content of 7 levels (1 of which is hidden). You gain access to them after completing either the main storyline or Hectic levels. The Lost Levels is a chapter exclusive to this remaster and bridges the gap between the old (Doom/Doom II/Final Doom) and new (Doom (2016)/Doom Eternal) installments of the series.
Doom 64 is a title that will delight the younger as well as the older generation of gamers. Those who know the previous installments from cover to cover will be excited by the new challenge.

So much for the rewriting of history

Thanks for the port and thanks for the story. I’ve finished Doom & Doom II on my 1200 years ago. Will try final Doom and above all try to finish this very interesting Doom64.

BTW thanks to BSzili and HunoPPC.

Here's a short preview video of Doom64 on AOS4.1
Looks great

I get "Error: - I_InitScreen: Failed to create OpenGL contextLIBGL"

This is Sam Flex with OS4.1FE and Radeon 9250

PS. Updated system, and got a utterly stupid filerequester from AEON update, how do I get rid of it?

Does it require OpenGL ES? Morph OS version does not have a such requirement.

@utri007

MorphOS does not have Warp3D, I believe it’s called Rave3D on MorphOS, they reinvented 3D API a lot earlier.

Warp3D nova was rebirth of Warp3D on AmigaOS4.x, sadly it does not support older graphics cards. I highly doubt Warp3D Nova will ever be back ported to older graphics cards, but Sam4x0 hardware can be upgraded to support newer graphics cards.

Warp3D is only available using an emulation layer on Warp3D nova, if you have RX driver, for HD driver, you can use mix of different 3D drivers at the same time (A special resource was created allowing two 3D api’s to share the hardware). Older cards before HD and RX, do not support Warp3D nova, and has no support for OpenGL ES. And has no support for the resource.

Mmmm did not tested yet, does the game really require Warp3D Nova?
I don't think so since smarkusg is developing under QEmu

@utri007

According to schell output it seems that only Warp3d Nova is supported. Sorry I should have mentioned it in the system requirements.

@utri007
There was a description of the requirements here, but it was perhaps a little vague.
"the SDL3 replacement is SDL2+GL4ES."

I guess I missed my thread.
Project: hardware to run AOS4 on QEMU 10 with GPU passthrough for 35 euros
The machine works. I only use it to emulate QEMU AOS4, and it works very well for my needs.

@smarkusg Why? Game itself doesn't require Open GLES.

@utri007

If it's based on https://github.com/atsb/Doom64EX-Plus
on Dependencies you can read:
-Core Dependencies:
SDL3: The core framework for windowing, input, and graphics.
ZLib: A library for data compression.
LibPNG: A library for reading and writing PNG image files.
OpenGL: A graphics API for rendering.
...(and more)

@jabirulo

None of those means that it requires GLES. In MorphOS it works with TinyGL, so it should work with OS4's MiniGL
