64Doom is a source port of Doom for the Nintendo 64, supporting both the actual console and certain emulators[which?] for the system. It is maintained by jnmartin84, previously known as crt0 during his work on the Sega Dreamcast DoomDC source port.

Features[edit]

  • Full support for shareware, Doom, Ultimate Doom, Doom II, and Final Doom. The IWAD to be played is baked into the Z64-format ROM image along with the executable code by using the 64Doom ROM creator toolkit.
  • Save game support, utilizing the system's controller memory pak peripheral (a full 123 empty blocks are required).
  • Analog movement control.
  • Full music and sound effects support, with the original PC soundtrack in place.

Technical[edit]

The game renders directly to the Nintendo 64's frame buffer, as opposed to Doom 64's polygon-based hardware rendering approach. An Expansion Pak accessory is required to be installed in the system, as the additional RAM is required for holding game resources in system memory.
