DSDA-Doom (also Doom Speed Demos Archive - Doom) is a source port based on the PrBoom+um 2.6.x fork of PrBoom+ by Ryan Krafnick (Kraflab). It can currently be compiled in Windows, Mac OS X and Linux environments. The current version is 0.27.5. It has extra tooling for demo recording and playback, with a focus on speedrunning. It also implements several new standards for mod and map authors alike.
Kraflab received the special Codeaward at the Cacowards 2021, in part for creating the novel rewind and on-the-fly map restart features of DSDA-Doom. Being the pioneering source port for MBF21 was also a factor.[1]

Compatibility modes[edit]
DSDA-Doom supports various compatibility settings to adjust its behavior, much like those initially implemented for MBF. In addition to individual settings for each difference in behavior, it allows the user to set compatibility levels to behave like earlier versions and modifications of the Doom engine. With the compatibility levels, DSDA-Doom may provide almost flawless compatibility with regular demos, as well as those recorded with Boom engines.
To change compatibility levels, the cheat code tntcomp can be used ingame. The game can also be launched with the -complevel parameter, or with default_compatibility_level in the config file, followed by one of the following numbers:
| Level | Emulated engine |
|---|---|
| 0 | Doom v1.2 |
| 1 | Doom v1.666 |
| 2 | Doom v1.9 |
| 3 | Ultimate Doom & Doom95 |
| 4 | Final Doom (emulates exclusively the release with bugged teleports) |
| 5 | DOSDoom |
| 6 | TASDoom |
| 7 | Boom's compatibility mode (emulates the inaccurate vanilla mode of Boom) |
| 8 | Boom v2.01 |
| 9 | Boom v2.02 |
| 10 | LxDoom v1.4.x |
| 11 | MBF |
| 12–16 | PrBoom (old versions) |
| 17 | Current PrBoom-plus |
| 21 | MBF21 |
- If a custom WAD has "BOOM compatible" in its description, use "9 - Boom v2.02".
- If a custom WAD has "MBF compatible" in its description, use "11 - MBF".
- If a custom WAD has "MBF21 compatible" in its description, use "21 - MBF21".
Version 0.19.0 of DSDA-Doom also introduced a new COMPLVL lump as another way to set the compatibility level.
