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.

Use

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

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

Notes

  • Sound does not work at this point
  • The screen is sideways due the nature of SDL rendering

Download
