Hi All,
First post here - I thought I would share a neat little setup to run Doom using the dos version of Boom 2.02 and DosBox
First set up a new folder with all these files:-
boom.exe
cwsdpmi.exe
doom.wad (or doom2.wad, doom1.wad,etc...)
dosbox.exe
dosbox.conf
sdl.dll
sdl_net.dll
Now for the cool bit:-
edit the dosbox.conf file with notepad so the only text in it is as follows...
[sdl]
fullscreen=true
[render]
scaler=2xsai
[autoexec]
mount c .
c:
boom
exit
this will start doom when you run dosbox in full screen mode - the 2xsai scaler gives a nice smoothed out display that almost looks high resolution without any extra wad files
the mount c . tells the system to mount the local folder as dosbox's game folder. This makes the whole setup portable for running from a flash drive
you may need to use the -IWAD parameter in dosbox.conf depending on which IWAD you are using (I have successfully tested with doom.wad and doom1.wad)
Give it a try and tell me what you think.
