I just put out the first alpha version of WiiDoom. This is based on PrBoom, so it's compatible with every (I think) version of Doom, Doom II, Final Doom, and FreeDoom. This features Metroid style controls. Please check it out and enjoy.

wow this is awsome havent tried it yet but just the concept makes me beam. Anyways has anyone downloaded and played it yet? how does it work? are any of the dooms included in the package or do you have to download them?

sry for the double post but i just read the page about it and it says that Freedoom will be included, so that answers one of my questions ha.

It works with all the Dooms. Since the Doom wad files are still commercial, I can't include them in the zip. The Freedoom wad file is in there, if you have nothing else.

Exactly what is Free Doom?

Here's the site:

It's just an open source version of Doom, so you don't need to own a copy of Doom to play it.

hey i just put it under the apps folder of my sd card (beware this may be very noobish) and when i started it up on the HBC it said something about not having an IWID or something like that, then it returns to the HBC. What have i done wrong? is it becuase i havent put a doom on there to play.

Did you copy the "prboom" folder to the SD card?

Quote

-- Instructions --
Twilight Hack method: Copy the prboom folder and boot.elf into the root directory of your SD card. Launch via Twilight Hack.

Homebrew Channel: Copy the WiiDoom directory (inside the apps directory) into the "apps" folder of your SD card. Copy the prboom folder to the root directory of your SD Card. Launch the Homebrew Channel.

Inside the prboom folder, you'll see prboom.wad and freedoom.wad. If you want to play "normal"
DOOM (i.e. DOOM/DOOM II/Final DOOM), move freedoom.wad to another directory and copy the
version you want into this folder (doom.wad, doom2.wad, etc..).

Once Doom comes up, you'll need to disconnect and reconnect the Nunchuk. This is a temporary bug, but seems
to be common with Wii homebrew.

Maybe this is just my dial-up internet but I can only download about one megabyte of the .zip before the link breaks.

Yeah it's probably your dial-up...Mine doesn't complete stuff too.

@LOLDSFAN
Mine has completed a gigabyte download once in the past. I can get about 1 - 3 megabytes before the link breaks.

Is there another place other than googlecode we can all download this from?

EDIT: A new version just came out. Hopefully I'll have better luck when I try to download it later.

This works pretty awesome I even got Chex Quest to work with it and I'm working on getting the Super Mario Doom to work on it also. A few things this needs is first IR support as well as fix for the whole A and B buttons not working on the Menu. Second thing it needs is a WAD selection menu that would be really nice so we can have more then one doom mod on the sd card at a time and load it you should make it similar to the menu that is used in the Doom DS port.

Great job! It works really well so far. A few things that I would want included:
If you strafe left, then it sometimes doesn't let you strafe right immediately after.
Music doesn't seem to work. This was a really great part of playing Doom in DOS.
Maybe add some way to enable the cheat codes (IDSPISPOPD).
Gamecube controller support.
Like others said, a WAD switcher.

Wow mine is on and off...sometimes it can have the hardest time doing 3, but like 15, an hour latter it does it.
