When playing classic doom with gzdoom 4.12 on an HP 2020 laptop, the controller plays "too loose" and movement left and right wat too fast to be anywhere near accurate. I tried to change sensitivity settings but nothing seems to work. Am I missing a setting or is that how it's going to work with this version of gzdoom and this laptop with this controller( Xbox one)? Any thoughts/ideas? Sorry I accidentally put this in the wrong place.

And on the subject of chocolate doom, why does it default to either doom 2 or final doom plutonia when i start it? Is there a specific way the wads need to be placed in the choc doom folder?

Is there a way to use a controller with windows doom 95 on a HP 2020 laptop?

Using GZDoom 4.10 on windows 10 HP laptop, the run function doesn't work right with doom 2 1st level when trying to jump down to the light which will activate the secret area for the rocket launcher. I went to options and player set up to allow run on always and cannot seem to get it to work using an Xbox one controller. I assigned the left stick to down just to get the speed right when pushing up on the left stick but it won't move fast enough to jump to the light on the floor to activate the secret room. Any ideas why this is an issue?

I know this is years late but I considered opening the Nintendo switch doom classics collection by limited run games and wondered if the patches that were made for the digital releases would also apply to the physical release. Any one know if the patching applies to the physical cart as well?

While I don't always agree with censorship issues, I do understand what you have explained edward850. In the grand scheme of things, the blurred out "word" is not a big deal when reading the context of the documents. I am grateful nightdive( or whomever) created the id vault and gave us video game historical content playable, readable and viewable. It should set a standard like "the making of karateka" did with historical content, and the Atari 50 as well. The id vault alone is worth the price of the game. Is there any hope of future Q2 content that could be found? One can only hope!

I noticed there are two design documents in the Q2 id vault with the "nazi" blurred out ( document 1 and 2). Was there a legal issue then before releasing this remaster or even before that about using/seeing the word "nazi"? Just curious if the night dive group had to do it because of zenimax, Bethesda or Microsoft or other people not wanting the word to be seen. Any ideas/thoughts? Is the censorship even a big deal in the overall product quality?

Well, think what you may, I just stated feelings and opinions about these issues but never have attitude and negativity towards any. Maybe you lack consideration, understanding, empathy and probably many other skills when reading what people have to say. Especially when nothing negative was said towards anyone. But that's fine. I don't hide in caves or keep my head in the sand. I do talk with many people about these issues I've posted and they too see these issues as possible future problems. And, if you don't like my supposed "crying" and need of "patting on the back", stop reading this post and move on.

Thanks for response crocmagnum, like i said nothing major PRESENT tense but I'm old enough to have loved the old arcade machines and appreciated MAME for bringing them home. I actually own the 1988 arcade ninja gaiden. But not really functioning well, mame saved me. Some older NES carts I had a hard time finding, and my old nes out of order so emulators saved me there as well. Movies no longer on DVD or Blu-ray either on streaming or cable stripped down, no extras, etc. music like you said, books out of print missing stuff in digital form, words removed, etc. my main concern was that if Nintendo can prove illegal activity with yuzu, how many others Nintendo can argue are putting out roms, emulators and possibly making profit? Surely if one than many. That's my concern. Can these big companies convince legalities that ALL things being done outside their supervision and billing is completely wrong and try to stop all of it? Games, movies, books.

I don't have a particular game that I can't play ( currently there are emulators still to do so) but my point was to say ( to the person who made that initial comment ) what if? If you cared about a particular game and emulators get stopped legally and there were no other ways to play them if the big corporations didn't make them available what would you think, feel, say then? I used to struggle to find old arcade machines to play but with MAME that was solved. My point was for NOW, we have ways to play games such as emulators, physical copies, flash drives. Etc. I was initially just concerned that legal action against emulators could become further complicated and have little to do with piracy issues like the above mentioned company but with companies becoming more controlling with digital wares, physical copies becoming less and less, hardware to play them less possible or too expensive to obtain, then what is next? The examples of movies being released digitally has outraged even directors like Christopher Nolan, because movies can be pulled out of production and removed from digital stores, books removed from print, digital books altered or removed are other examples of us losing control of our media. I hope that helped some and thank you for responding in a decent way. I appreciate your asking the way you did. Maybe I am overreacting, overthinking all of it but it was just to get opinions and ideas that was all.

Never mind. I'll let it go at that.

And if you read all of the above, it was never about books in libraries or a particular ROM being downloaded before a release date. It's about looking below the surface issues. Legal issues, future precedents, loss of possible access to all of the above( books, movies, games), with everything being digital and in full control of people who either want us to have "their" version of a product, or none at all (discontinued stuff all the time). Maybe when you have lost something you had or would like again and can't get it then you can cry "what the fuck"?
