Well, Doom 64 EX+ and SEX+ (pun totally intended) may have better working multiplayer, don't really know about that though as I'm one of those dudes that plays on the Remaster (VANILLA COMPATIBILITY!!!)

Doom 64 EX+ Looks (and seems) a-lot better made , a far improvement from it's Big Bro EX , but it's not supported by Windows Yet Only Linux & A few others Like Rasberry Pi. Support will come to other platforms at a later date (according to the creator) But We'll see.

Not sure where you heard that, the GitHub repo just says there's no installer. There's a Windows build attached on the release page.

 

I don't think Doom 64 itself has co-op player starts, so unless EX+ works around that somehow you're going to have a problem even if it technically has networking. The comments on the first video you posted mention having to modify the maps.

Huh , Didn't see the Windows Build attachment , thanks . And yes EX did have "modified maps" for player 2 , 3 & , 4 spawns , But IDK if EX+ plus does , ValveMercenary wasn't sure if it had multiplayer spawns either , but since there's a Windows Build (that I know of now) I'm Gonna found out if it has coop and dm

We'll See...

Alright...

[ABC123]

But Where Can I find a link for this Doom Ce ? Is it on Mod Db or Mediafire ?

[Shepardus]

Try a Google search, the first two results I get are its ModDB page and its Doom Wiki page.

 

I don't know if Doom CE supports multiplayer though...

Doom 64 EX+ and SEX+ havent touched the multiplayer really. But Doom 64 Absolution MP ports Doom 64 Retribution to Zandronum with fixes for MP. So if you dont mind swapping gradient lighting for dynamic lighting this may work for you http://sfjake.infinityfreeapp.com/doom64.html

It has co-op starts but sadly no deathmatch

In the kindest way possible I'd appreciate not having to click on random links just to see obscure knockoff GIF hosting sites that could potentially be unsafe. This forum has an image embed function if you really need that GIF reaction image goodness - linking to a GIF just isn't the same.

I know , I was trying to show it as a gif but the thing wouldn't work...

Was just playing MAP06 and then I thought, how do these ports deal with room over room in co-op?

In vanilla Doom 64 they would be a major issue, likely they couldn't be convincingly done. For the ZDoom ports, they replace them with 3D floors, so there they work fine in multiplayer.
