Installation
  1. Install the game
  2. Download Crispy Doom[github.com]
  3. Unpack Crispy Doom to directory:
    Disk:\Steam directory\steamapps\common\Master Levels of Doom (or to another directory where the game is located)
Game Launch
To merge Crispy Doom with Steam, you need to rename the file "crispy-doom.exe" to "dosbox.exe" replacing the original file. After that, you need to select the Master Levels for Doom II in the Steam Library → right-click → select "Properties" → in the appeared window type the launch option for the selected .wad file with the level number, if required, and difficulty level (I'm Too Young To Die - Nightmare!) from the list below:
-iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\ATTACK.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\BLACKTWR.WAD -warp 25 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\BLOODSEA.WAD -warp 07 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\CANYON.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\CATWALK.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\COMBINE.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\FISTULA.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\GARRISON.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\GERYON.WAD -warp 08 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\MANOR.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\MEPHISTO.WAD -warp 07 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\MINOS.WAD -warp 05 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\NESSUS.WAD -warp 07 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\PARADOX.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\SUBSPACE.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\SUBTERRA.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\TEETH.WAD -warp 31 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\TTRAP.WAD -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\VESPERAS.WAD -warp 09 -skill 1-5 -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\VIRGIL.WAD -warp 03 -skill 1-5
If Crispy Doom was not merged with Steam, then the launch option must be typed in the shortcut properties for the "crispy-doom.exe" file in the "Object" field separated by a space or in an appropriate .bat file in the root game folder using a text editor:
crispy-doom.exe -iwad doom2\DOOM2.WAD -file master\wads\desired_file

In order for the game to display and sound correctly, you need to set the following parameter values in the "crispy-doom.cfg" file:
aspect_ratio_correct 2 use_libsamplerate 0

To play music in the game in the best quality, you need to: run the configuration file "crispy-doom-setup.exe" → select the "Configure Sound" item → in the appeared window in the "Music" section, select the "Native MIDI" item.

Core features
  • Enhanced 640x400 display resolution, with the original 320x200 resolution still available in the "High Resolution Rendering: Off" mode.
  • Widescreen rendering for using all the available horizontal space of screens with aspect ratios up to 24:9.
  • Uncapped rendering framerate with interpolation and optional vertical synchronization (VSync) with the screen refresh rate.
  • Intermediate gamma correction levels (0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5).
  • Removal of all static engine limits, or at least raising of the less crucial ones.
You can also turn on a lot of gameplay (jumping and freelook, for example) and visual innovations, for this in the game you need to go to: Options → Crispness
Multiplayer
To play on a local network or the Internet, you need to run the file "crispy-doom-setup.exe" and select Join a Network Game item, then enter the required IP address, or find a server from the list by selecting the appropriate item. To create a server, you need to select Start a Network Game. If you need to add additional .wad files, then you should select the Add WADs item and enter the names of all the necessary .wad files with the path (if the file is placed in a separate folder) and extensions in each of the lines separately.
