Getting that N64-like Experience out of your game
By OpenRift
Given that currently the most vanilla-accurate port of Doom 64 as of writing is the 2020 Remaster from Nightdive, I thought I'd do what I can to make a few changes (to the best of my ability) to restore some of the original N64 graphics.

Changes
  • Replaced License/Seizure Warning screens with the original copyright/license screen found in the IWAD

  • Replaced the High-res Doom 64 title graphic with the original low-res graphic also found in the IWAD

  • Removed Bethesda logo spinner so it doesn't appear every damn time you quick save
  • Restores uncensored health items with red crosses

  • Disables intro videos
Installation
1. Put the folder labelled "patching" in your Doom 64 install
2. Open the folder and run INSTALL.BAT
3. Run the game and enjoy!
Uninstallation
In the patching folder, just run UNINSTALL.BAT and your original files should be restored!
Recommended In-Game Settings
If you really want that authentic lo-fi feel, try these settings out.
  • Turn on texture filtering, that's how it looked on the N64. (It actually kind of looks good on some of the sprites too if you ask me.)
  • Somehow get the game to run in 320x240 (idk if the Kex engine supports that low of a resolution lol)
  • Turn off interpolation, caps the game at 30 fps

Personally though I just turn on the filtering and call it a day.

Late reply but I'd also install Reshade and get a CRT filter going.

30 fps, d64 runs at 30 ticks per second instead of normal dooms 35
