Z2 Doom, a SDL port of id Software's Doom to the Zipit 2

Introduction

This is actually a quick port of PrBoom for the Zipit 2. It is not optimized. Check out the entire Todo list. It is simply proof-of-concept work. This release is packaged with FreeDOOM, a project aimed to create a complete Doom-based game which is Free Software.

NOTE: You may want to use the latest OpenEmbedded build instead of the port documented here.

Compile

This uses the original PrBoom source code.

Installation

First, you'll need a shell environment to run Doom in. Then, copy the entire "doom" folder (in the archive attached to this page) onto the SD card. Then download the latest prboom executable from the link below and overwrite the prboom executable in the doom folder with it.

Use

Once the Zipit 2 is booted with your SD card, enter the following into the terminal:

export SDL_NOMOUSE=1
export SDL_VIDEO_FBCON_ROTATION="CCW"
/mnt/sd0/doom/prboom /mnt/sd0/doom/doom2.wad -height 240 -width 320
