Windows XP is dead.  I think it is a bit unfair to expect developers to support it.

 

Try using old versions of them though.  Maybe Chocolate Doom 3 or 2.x series

 

For example:

What is happening when you are trying to run Crispy Doom itself? Is it giving an error like a "TryRunTics64 not found in Kernel"?

[The Almighty Egg]

No. Don't use Windows XP ya dumb dumb.

Looks like a problem with the graphics driver.

You'll probably be better off with some older versions like Gibbon said. Prboom+ might work without problems but i can't say for certain (it's a good option and you can get really close to vanilla looks and behaviour).

 

Support for Windows XP is not something to be expected anymore, unless the project has retrocompatibility as a core principle i guess.

By far the biggest issue with XP today is that modern toolchains are losing support for targeting it - and even if they still can, the result may be compromised on more modern versions of Windows, meaning that many developers won't bother anymore. So it not only gets harder to get stuff compiled for XP, but also to get the needed dependencies in a form that's compatible with XP.

 

And it is mainly the latter that makes this job hard even for those who still want to support it.

Also, you can't use Windows Update on Windows XP anymore, because Microsoft removed the ability to download SHA-1 updates from their website, effectively shutting down the legacy Windows Update website for Windows 2000 & XP, though fortunately you can use the Microsoft Update Catalog to get the Windows XP updates but that is a very cumbersome task, unless you want to install the unofficial Service Pack 4 which is technically frowned upon to Microsoft.

SDL2 perfectly support XP. even the most antique XP machine is perfectly able to run crispy-doom.

The only trouble with Crispy is its libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll that depends on libwinpthread-1.dll that needs GetTickCount64

You can download an other build of this libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll, try the one included in my dsda-doom build, it should work. I think it was included with MingW64.

EDIT:

If you have drivers problems, try to set

force_software_renderer       1

in the crispy-doom.cfg. this is not specific to XP, I had problems even under Win7 with a cheap integrated Intel graphic chip.

IT WORKS THANK U

[Ramon_Demestre]

So it seems for you that the problem is related to SDL2

 

The latest Chocolate-doom versions that uses SDL1.2 are:

https://www.chocolate-doom.org/downloads/2.2.1/

and

https://www.chocolate-doom.org/downloads/2.3.0/

 

And for Crispy-doom, v4.3 is the latest SDL1.2 version

https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom/releases/download/crispy-doom-4.3/crispy-doom_4.3.zip

 

For Prboom-Plus the latest SDL1.2 compatible version is 2.1.14

A little late to the party but this helped with choppy sounding audio with crispy doom in windows xp for me, changing snd_maxslicetime_ms to 48 in the config file.

Here's a link to where this was talked about.
