Dosbox or chocolate doom

[Darkcrafter07]

I prefer it with PCem with custom sharpen and Mattias CRT shaders but custom DOSBox with Lottes CRT is good too.

I like how it looks, but that's a TV, not a computer screen

Though I would recommend using Crispy Doom, Woof, or DSDA-Doom instead, unless you're looking for the exact "pure" experience of the original game. Those are way easier to use, and have better graphics and mod support as well as some important quality-of-life improvements, while still preserving vanilla demo compatibility.

 

++Crispy ~ it's the double scaling for me.

Just do what you want, use the one that makes your head hurt less getting working and what feels best on your system. Everyone is just going to say one or the other options or say an entirely different option you didn’t ask about.

Yes, however I have GZDOOM when I wanna give myself a headache by making it unplayable.

 

That does it; gut busted...

Player should use whatever is more convenient for them, imo. 

 

But if mapper makes a strictly vanilla map, I think they should do at least the final testing in the DOS exe.

 

I am so glad that the only vanilla map I've made in the last dozen or so years was for a

community project. I agree on the final testing and am happy there was someone else

to test! For the most part, I'm sticking with Zandronum for testing and playing my Doom-y

stuff. It's rare for it not to run something I've downloaded even though there's lots of WADs

that say GZDoom required. Thankfully, I've mostly stuck to playing inexperienced mapper's

works; they don't take advantage of stuff that wouldn't work with Zandronum or my LZDoom.

Definitely dosbox because it makes a difference. It's a bother to set it up but it's worth it. I prefer Woof over Chocolate Doom but load BTSX in dosbox and it's a completely fresh experience.

DOSBox is good, if you want to get the true original Doom experience, but setting it all up is an hassle most of the time.

 

Chocolate Doom however, has a few differences between it, and the original executable, but the great news is, that it's very easy to set up!

For anyone wanting to go the DOS route for Doom:

 

 

These settings will also work with Dosbox-Staging or Dosbox-X as well.

 

For Staging, make sure to set raw_mouse_input = true in dosbox-staging.conf as well.
