doomwaves Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have heard that there exists somewhere, a Doom 2 homebrew port for the Jag.. If it says that on the internet its true right? Anyone around here have any experience with this, or know if it in fact exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yep, it exists. Do a quick search in the Jag forum and you should find it pretty easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's not a homebrew, it's a hack of the Doom ROM with edited Doom 2 levels from the PC. I think there were around 15 levels in the latest one Neo made. If you google "doom 2 atari jaguar ROM" you should find a couple of places that have a version, although I don't know if they would be the very last ones he made. There are plenty of videos of it in action on YouTube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I knew he did it, but as far as I heard the rom was never given out. This is a reason to have a Skunk (other than dev) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a reason to have a Skunk (other than dev) I think it was given out to those who proved they owned the originals and wanted to learn how to do it for themselves, you'd have to check with Neo though, it's a few years ago now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I must have been away when Neo was working on this. I will have to get my Skunkboard out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomwaves Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's not a homebrew, it's a hack of the Doom ROM There are plenty of videos of it in action on YouTube. I knew these things.. I wrongly used the term homebrew. I just meant, someone did this on there own.. Which in fact really means to "hack" it. My appologies.. I've seen videos, I was mainly just asking if anyone had it & actually played it I suppose. Thanks for all for the feeback tho, I probably will check it out on Virtual Jag.

sh3-rg Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ah OK, I just didn't want anyone grumbling about Neo again, making out that he tried to make out he did more than he actually did. So it's a ROM hack, same kind of thing that a lot of the other forums on AA have plenty of but not so much here... for now at least :-) What he did was pretty hardcore in a way and if he was the kind of guy who programmed tools instead of games I'm sure he'd have been able to create something easier to work with than doing it all by hand :-) Then again, that's what GGN did before he got so utterly bored with the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I grabbed a file Doom2_v98.7z 1854kb Is this it? That is one version of the hack, I have that, just tried it recently on Project Tempest to make sure (it says Doom II on the floor after you go through the first transporter, and the demo mode show a level not in JagDoom). I don't know if it's the latest hack with the 15 or so levels, I haven't played it yet. I'm waiting on a Skunkboard I just bought to try it on my Jag with a real controller.

the.golden.ax Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I got the Jag kiosk up and running for the first time in two years last night. It now has a white Jag in it. (I'd thought I lost the key, but it was on my car keys since I moved, the whole time!). Next step is putting the Skunk in there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is the Jag version able to play music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipj Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Don't know... I was just joking when I posted that; I wasn't being serious, but it's possible to use a looping PCM file that's just a few seconds long if they really wanted to do something like that.

walter_J64bit Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Dose the doom 2 hack work with network game of doom 2? Edited January 22, 2013 by walter_J64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunstar Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) that would be cool if we can play Jaglinked Doom 2, but I've only got one Jaguar right now, and only one Skunkboard on the way, so I won't be finding out soon, unless a Jaglink can be attached to a PC modem or something and work with a Jag emulator.

Goochman Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Dose the doom 2 hack work with network game of doom 2? Its still Jag Doom - the WAD section was just changed to new maps. But if you are asking if you could join a PC Doom 2 network game then no since even original JagDoom couldnt do that.

sh3-rg Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I think he just wondered if you could play 2 jags linked with the doom 2 levels in this version instead of 2 original copies of doom. I don't know that anyone has tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that anyone has tried. Playing the original Doom with two Jaguars usually does not work very well so I don't think using Doom II wads makes it working better Robert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 That's exactly what I thought. Me & GGN tried to link Doom a few times, didn't get anywhere, so I've not been too bothered trying to set up 2 jaguars to see it fail with Neo's level hacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
