The Ultimate Doom Mod Collection?

Posted by timothy on from the obsessive-compulsive-is-being-polite dept.

Croakyvoice writes "Law56ker has today released the Nxdoom Collection, a massive collection of 220 Doom Mods for the Dreamcast, a collection of best Total Conversions, Megawads, and Various levels for use on NXDOOM for the Sega Dreamcast. Wads Include Duke Nukem GP, Half Life, Star Wars, Goldeneye, Quake 2 and Star Trek. They come on 2 CDS." Registration is required for downloading anything, but if you're low on Megawads this seems like one-stop shopping.

      Not really. Sega bled money badly for years. The Dreamcast would've had to be a PS2 level success to save their business model.

      The Sega Genesis had it's pile of addons - Sega CD and 32X, each with significant development budgets and little success. The 32X was an interesting story - Sega of Japan didn't tell Sega of America that they were working on a new system, so Sega of America created the 32X. Once that happened, the Japanese branch told the US branch that they were making the Saturn, effectively making the 32X dead on arrival.

      The Saturn was the ultimate 2D machine with 3D tacked on as an afterthought at the start of the 3D era. It couldn't really compete with the PlayStation, and Sega effectively gave up when the N64 launched. At that point they bundled the Saturn with it's 3 best games and still failed to sell.

    1) You don't need to play these files on the Dreamcast version of DOOM. These mods will all work fine on the various Windows, DOS, and other version of DOOM that can load PWADs. Just download the collection and extract them.

    2) This collection is special because _all_ of the files have been tested and confirmed to correctly work on the Dreamcast version of DOOM, nxDoom. Because of system hardware limitations not all mods will correctly work on the DC version of DOOM, so Law56ker's collection is a real time-saver for anyone that wants to play DOOM mods on any system with limited hardware similar to a Dreamcast.

    3) A modified Dreamcast is not necessary to run these files. Because the boot system for Dreamcast software was deciphered years ago, all home-brew/independent software form the last few years can easily boot without hardware or software mods.

    4) The reason that this software needs to be downloaded, modified, and then burned to disc is due to a limitation of DOOM and other games built in a similar way. The original files from DOOM and/or DOOM 2 are needed to run these mods because the DOOM engine requires the original files.

    5) The Dreamcast port of DOOM, nxDOOM, has support for the Modlist (making selecting and loading mods quick and easy), VMU saving (to continue the game later or save preferences), and control via keyboard, mouse, and/or Dreamcast controller.

    I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

  19. DC modchip installer here by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0

    Well, at least don't make it sound like DC modchips never existed. For all you know, the GPP really does have a DC modchip installed, whether or not he's aware of its requirement or capabilities. It's still the most convenient and complete option for the legitimate multi-region game collector (especially for multi-disc games, for which bootdiscs are an imperfect bother), unless you consider it easier to keep a console for each region connected to your setup than to mod a single unit once.

    Aliens Total Conversion was, I think, the best Doom MOD ever. I know it got squished by FOX (or whoever owns the rights to the Alien franchise), but it still kicks some major ass if you can find it. No Doom collection would be complete w/o it.

      The Aliens QUAKE mod was the one that was foxed. The creator of that went on to make AlienArena, with super shameless self-promotion with that damn linux.com "review".

    Well, it's good to know the WAD community is still alive after over 15 years since Doom was released. But Dreamcast? No good.
