Phoenix Doom is a source port based on the 3DO version of Doom by Darragh Coy (intacowetrust), a back port which allows playing that version of the game on Windows, Linux, and Mac personal computers. Phoenix Doom presents a number of enhancements and changes over the 3DO original, the most notable of which is the availability of higher resolutions and a stable framerate.
Features[edit]
Phoenix Doom allows playing the 3DO version of Doom when provided with either a CD Image or the extracted contents of the disk into a folder which can be detected by the engine. The CD Image should be named Doom3DO.img in order to be detected. The source port utilizes a software renderer and also has the following list of notable features:
- Support for higher resolution modes that are an integer multiple of the original 320x200 resolution.
- Framebuffer is now 32-bit instead of 16-bit. This allows for smoother light gradients and less color banding.
- Improved texture mapping and renderer temporal stability.
- Upgraded lighting and light diminishing effects.
- A host of bug fixes that make the gameplay more in line with the PC version of the game.
