If you want to play DOOM in the best version, there is only one way.

Get a Compaq Deskpro running DOS 4.01, insert the DOOM floppy and type install to play.

The Dutxh Cyborg: snd_sfxdevice 8 crashes upon any sound playing, just change snd_channels and snd_musicdevice

hi i have a little problem. This tutorial is great and all but when i play the first level the 2 soliders are dead and not only the first 2. Also the enemies in the secret room are dead too. Can you help me with this please?

About the MIDI sounds part: shouldn't we need to set the sfx-thingie to 8 as well?
Anyway, thank you for this helpful guide!

I assume the same will apply to Doom II?
