How to get Doom 1 RPG / Doom Resurrection / Doom 2 RPG running? [merged]

[DoomGuy's-Personal-Giraffe]

I managed to get it running on kemulator, but I cannot control the game at all. The buttons do nothing. Wondering if anyone knows how to get it working/

Seems you are using wrong version of kemulator or the game, I suppose. Try this one https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/KEmulator, https://archive.org/details/KEmulator103. Arrows keys for move, enter for use/shoot by default. Works fine on my side. You can load virtual keyboard from cell phone also as well.

 

Make sure you have JDK around - https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/#jdk18-windows

Thank you very much for the links, my only question is, what is JDK and how do I use it?

[UnknDoomer]

Just grab one from the link and install it. After you can forget about one. It's required for several apps to run smooth, including old Java based cell phone apps.

Not to be confused with Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil, Doom Resurrection was a Doom 3 inspired rail shooter for the original iPhone, if I recall correctly. It's the final Doom game I have yet to play, and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get it running on PC. It would be greatly appreciated.

A emulator for ios.

 

Good luck on that one.

To make things even worse, i think you need an older one with  32bit support.

Do you know any that would work?

Or one just buys an old iphone with the Doom installation file.

I do know a few. Take your pick and good luck.

I played it on my old iPod touch years ago. You aren't missing out on much, trust me. It was impressive back in the day (when people were drinking virtual beer through their phones) but removed from its original hardware it is absolutely nothing special. I also remember the (better) RAGE on-the-rails shooter. Play MIGHTY DOOM instead, or don't.

I managed to get the first Doom RPG running on Kemulator, but when I try to run the second game, or Wolfenstein RPG for that matter, it always just freezes on the first splash screen. If anyone could tell me what it is I have to do to get these running, it would be greatly appreciated.

There are no iOS emulators capable of playing commercial games, and the game has long since been delisted from the iOS App Store due to Apple removing 32-bit support from most versions of iOS. Your only option for actually playing the game is to find an old iPhone that either has it or can be jailbroken to run a version found... elsewhere. (Don't ask me where though, I literally don't know!)

 

Frankly, though, you'd be better off living vicariously through Linguica's full playthrough of the game, because it's not very good.

Kemulator seems to have issues with those later Id Mobile in some versions. On the version I used, the game would lock up when loading a level until you ducked into the options menu and cleared the SDCONFIG records.

 

You might have better luck with FreeJ2ME.

You've pretty much asked the same question three times now. Emulating these games can be a pain, you can either keep experimenting or buy a device capable of running the game(s).

Ï mean what are you expecting? You are asking for an IOS emulator on PC. It takes a Google search to know the answer.

 

So your best bet is an old Iphone. It isn't more complicated than that.

Maybe do some educating of yourself before asking this stuff.

 

There is a reason why Doom Resurrection is no longer on the AppStore anymore.  It is / was a legacy 32bit application for the first and second generation iPhone and iPod Touch.  When Apple forced 64bit on all their hardware from 2014, apps that were not updated (and which were not going to be updated) were pulled from the store.

 

Let's be honest here, the game sucked.  It had huge framerate issues and was a rail-shooter meant to show off the hardware and sell devices.  Getting an emulator (and the problem of getting a 13 year old version of iOS) on it, is simply not worth the trouble.

 

Buy a 2009 era device, jailbreak it and sideload the app onto it.  That, or save yourself the mental anguish and don't play that crap.
