I grew tired of the only-one-screen-usage of DS Doom 1.0.0 and hacked along myself, adding a zoomable automap on the lower screen together with a whole lot of pretty features. I've had plenty of contact with the DS Doom developers WinterMute and TheCuckster and hoped I could apply the changes to SVN... Well until now, don't hear anything from them. I guess they don't like the changes or my code is too dirty or something, although wintermute was planning on creating an SVN account. Ah well.
You can download the 1.1.0 sourcecode and mess with it yourself, if you like to. I don't really care anymore, good luck with it. I've marked all my changes with comments "// Jefklak [date] [description]".
At least let me distribute this version so other people beyond myself can enjoy some more Doom on the Nintendo DS.

Nice work. It's possible wintermute, et al are busy though, since I hardly ever see them logged on...
Anyway, I'm gonna test this now and hope it works okay...

I tested a bit...
The plain NDS does not run vanilla off my SC:mSD. I had to run it via Moonshell.
Also, your code to turn of the DS when the game is quit seems to be bugged. Exiting the game turned off the screens et al, but the power LED was still on, indicating that the shutdown was not complete.
I think some optimisations, etc are necessary, since I personally think the framerate is a little clunky, although this was a problem even in the prior releases of DS Doom...

doesn't work on G6 .. i assume you haven't added any driver?
#111994 - theli - Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:15 am
yeah ... i've compiled version for G6
http://theli.ho.com.ua/ds/dsdoom_g6_1.1.0.7z
works fine for me (well< saving doesn't work , of course)
#111998 - jefklak - Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:39 am
OOPMan: the turning off code is nothing but powerOff(POWER_ALL) or something like that, while quitting the main doom loop. If you experience trouble with it, just comment it out in i_main.c :) I was too lazy to completely "fix" the turn off code, it's a too "minor" thing to keep me busy, I had other priorities.
There are already a little bit of optimalisations included, although the main paint loop did not radically change. The game does not run slower than DS Doom 1.0.0 - I've tested this myself to make sure. You have no idea how ugly the graphics loops are, I'm not going to mess around with the PrBoom stuff myself ;)
dualscreenman: what do you exactly mean both your screens "turn off"? While playing? While booting? ...
Thanks a lot theli for the G6 version. No of course I did not alter any driver, although fatlib is outdated and could use an update for further cartridge support. It's on my "todo" checklist, together with wad loading. Eventually.
#112000 - OOPMan - Tue Dec 12, 2006 11:16 am
I didn't say it runs slower than the original DS Doom release. I just said that the speed on DS Doom original is not quite up there and the same goes for your release :-)
Hopefully future work will see improvements, since I find the lack of smoothness in DS Doom a bit irrtating now and then...

powerOff(POWER_ALL) won't turn off the system, you need to use the SPI bus to set the Power Management control Bit6.

Here's an idea, the ability to choose which Doom WAD!
here's the topic with a DS Doom mod that does that (it's like the 7th post on the first page)

I'm aware of that "hack" and that feature is next on the list :) But I don't have time to take a good look at it right now, so feel free to combine both yourself at this time.

From my experience and what others have said, i don't think DLDI has been implemented properly in this release.
when i patch it with my dldi patcher it says
Old driver : #
New driver : (whatever driver i use)
which is the same when i try to patch non dldi homebrew.
dldi homebrew that works says:
Old driver : Default (No interface)
New driver : (whatever driver i use)
.....?
#123020 - Diddl - Sat Mar 24, 2007 6:00 pm
i dont see a problem with DLDI, but dsdoom is broken with devkitpro v20. it compiles fine but it doesn't run. on v19 all runs fine for me.

Hi!
DSDoom sure is a nice homebrew :)
However I didn't like the controls and tried to change them by editing the prboom.cfg. I changed the following:
Strafe on D-pad left and right. Fire with right shoulder, sprint with left shoulder. Turn right with A, left with Y. Swap weapons with X.
This worked well except for one thing: Y still swaps weapons and doesn't turn left. So now I have two buttons to swap weapons with, but no way to turn left except for tapping the touch screen ^^
Here's the keybindings section of my prboom.cfg:

I made a temporary solution by binding the X button for turning left, but this is very confusing. I all the time find myself swapping weapons when I should be turning left :)
While I'm at it: Can I make music work somehow? Are all the other controls in the prboom.cfg not mentioned in the readme (eg key_map_mark) just nonsense, or are they actually bound to some key combinations not mentioned?
Thanks in advance for your help :D

i dont supose you could make ds dooms controls the same as Metroid Prime hunters could you?
