GENMIDI Replacement for Ultimate Doom and Doom II

   (6 reviews)

About This File

GENMID01.WAD is a tiny Doom wad which contains a replacement for the GENMIDI lump in the Doom IWAD. This lump controls the FM music synthesizer on sound cards using the Yamaha OPL2/OPL3 chip. Examples of such cards are Soundblaster, Adlib, and Pro Audio Sound. This GENMIDI replacement is designed to make the Doom music sound better.

Wow. This is beyond terrible. Providing you're using this on OPL3 (either DOS SB16, DOSBox, or ZDoom emulation) this turns the music from the classic, atmospheric and emotion-filled tracks into some retarded, boingy, and off-sounding travesty which actually made me cringe. Avoid at all costs. 0/5

I'm not really gonna use this since I took it upon myself to replace the original music, but very good idea.

The author said, "the quality of your FM music will improve tremendously. In fact, you will likely be astounded by the difference." Yet this makes something that has a smooth and solid sound which contributes to the game's dark theme tend toward awkward and boring, making some instruments sound splashy, weak, or strained. Just check how it turns the awesome mood of D_E1M5 or D_E1M7 to shit, or how it cripples the metal tracks. [1/5] ~Chain Mail (11/2007)

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
