I made a convenient .bat DOOM launcher, because none of the ones I found satisfied my needs: https://cohost.org/Siph/post/7405313-i-made-a-convenient

Anyone know which #Quake2 #SourcePort #OpenSource engine ports still work on #Windows7 32 bit? This screen is 1280x800 which doesn't quite work.

Edit: Oh and it can't be better than DX9 and uh... An ancient OpenGL.

I'm honestly not even sure that OpenGL functions on here... Nothing has successfully initialized it yet...

Added some #games to my list.

If you know some #pc Games with a #sourceport ,open source #remake etc. Feel free to tell me :)

Oh wow randomly found a really good article on Doom source ports, explaining what they are, citing examples, and how to use them. The only thing missing, is my favorite sourceport and launcher: Woof! and Doom Explorer. So, in the spirit of helping any one wanting to get into Doom, I'm pinning this on my profile.

Second link is the github page for Woof as my personal recommendation, but you could also use DSDA-Doom.
And third link is the download page for Doom Explorer, with the caveat that it currently does not have a Linux build and for that I use ZDL instead.

Dark Forces is easily a top 5 first person shooter for me, one hell of a game. As a kid, this game was everything!

A nice video about the reverse engineered port of Dark Forces:
