Checked it out in an emulator... nice! I'll even get some real hardware to give it a proper play-through.

Thanks to all the talented and hard working folks making such things possible!

Major upgrade from the original port of a port, in all aspects, more content, new FM sound and graphics engine, that has greatly increased performance, music and the overall enjoyment of game as a whole.. From the Jaguar port, which Doom 32x is based, the two major Bossfights was sadly left out, the fact they now been added back into DooM Resurrection is a major improvement..

Even with a huge bump in resolution and graphical improvements, it still runs vastly better than the original 32x port ever did on release, now in full screen and still on real hardware..

Though the new FM synth sounds truly amazing on its own, new CD music feature and performance boost, makes this a double whammy for those having the addon, and I only wish more hacks would add the feature.

This hack/remake, makes the 32x give every 32bit release back in the day, a real run for its money, and a true Tower Of Power title to try out.. Absolutely amazing work as been done here, and it goes to show how much of a powerhouse the 32x really was, if the programming is done RIGHT.. DooM 32x is NOW truly Resurrected in every sense of the word..

This hack/remake is an absolute MUST HAVE for any SEGA fan, and there ever was a reason to own a 32x before, there is now..

I can only imagine what's in store in next version, I would not be suprized if we are looking at a direct PC port one day, running smoothly on a piece of hardware nobody believed in.

BUGS Sadly, on real hardware, for me for some reason, on (MD1-CD1-32x) and those owning a Everdirve X5/X7 and getting a Z-Malloc memory error, naming the rom a .BIN extension instead of 32x works.. Saving is non-working in this version on x5/x7.. Emulation is the same on a .BIN extension, no saving.. This will hopefully be fixed as the x5/x7 is the most common I recon..

This enhancement is so brilliant that it has become a reference I often cite when the subject is about improving classic games and fixing titles that were rushed.

DOOM was ported to basically all consoles at the time and few managed to capture the essence of the PC original. This effort in particular shows what could have been done in a hardware much more capable than people gives credit for, just amazing!

I can't believe that the 32x version could have been THIS FANTASTIC! Much Props to the Devs for this great patch.

Pros

Plays at a decent framerate. Graphics are Pretty close to the pc port. Music is Awesome, no more fart composition. More levels to play. Customizble control and display options

Cons (although some probably have to do with size of rom)

Doom guy's face isn't synced to a direction when he takes a hit (always looks to the side) no text to show what you've picked up, it would be cool to have a "you found a secret area" too Cyber demon and Spiderdemon level and bosses absent.

I honestly thought the original 32x version of DOOM was better than the SNES one in some ways, but it was clearly not as well optimized, and the OST was just... bleh.

This on the other hand does a 180 turn and makes this port awesome to play, despite it seeming limited nowadays compared to more recent ports. I played this very often as a massive fan of DOOM 1 and as a massive fan of this patch. I cannot recommend this enough to those who want an old-school console DOOM 1 experience!!!

The romhacking community gets another awesome project, that not only fixes an awfull port, but also shows that the 32X was more than capable to run the game far better then they did with this port!

And the fact they put even an two player coop/deathmatch mode is astounging as well, and I didn't even have to coment about the improved framerate or the musics which are a pleasure to see and hear!

I wonder what would happened if this was mixed with the other hack that puts the other missg levels from the PC, it would be the supreme port, LOL!

This version of Doom is incredible and a great display of the 32X capabilities. It was crafted with care, and optimized to use the add-on. The result is a smooth game, with the option to play full-screen.

Many missing elements make a return :

• shadowing of enemies and levels in the distance
• enemies facing in various directions
• enemies fighting each others
• new arrangements for the soundtrack (and they are very good)

These are really important features that make the experience much much better.

You can also play CD music. Right now, with how it is implemented, it is not really possible to fit the Saturn soundtrack. Hopefully, something will happen to make this possible, as there are quite a few fans of this OST (including me !).

A must play on 32X.

Doom's 32x port wasn't that bad but it has possibly some of the worst soundtracks I've ever heard in a video game. This hack improves this game making it more enjoyable I recommend it for any Doom fan

Perfect gameplay, I really like this game, congratulations on the great work, try to make the map easier to use.

This Hack shows the potential of 32x.

Using both SH2 we have something very close to the Jaguar version. Furthermore, the FM music was simply sensational.

Comparing this new port with the old version is like comparing night and day, the difference is brutal.

Congratulations to everyone involved!

We all know the original 32X port was rushed... well, this is the game that should have been released. Who knows, perhaps the 32X may have enjoyed just a little more respect and success if it had? Lol... maybe not.

The music is better, the graphics are better (and can play without borders and better lighting effects, and still maintain a decent frame rate. But more importantly, the gameplay is significantly enhanced, with enemies now fighting each other (as in the original) and they're visible from all sides, rather than always facing the player.

This is now arguably the most faithful Doom console port prior to the Xbox 360 release in 2006.

I have the MED Pro, but, I don't have the 32X, which is why I tried it on the kega fusion emulator. and I must say that it is done really well. my compliments. not only are both episodes restored (shame about episode 3 Inferno, but oh well) but there are many additional features that do not hurt, indeed improve Doom. good, good and again GOOD :D

Doom on Sega 32x has never been the worst way to experience the classic FPS, but it definitely was far from the best way to experience it as well: it was missing several levels from the Jaguar release it was directly based off of, had the SNES version's same braindead enemies that always faced towards and only attacked the player, screen crunch almost comparable to that of the 3DO's port, janky and slightly stuttery gameplay, and most infamously of all a rushed soundtrack made in GEMS that didn't do the Genesis justice never mind the enhanced and expanded audio of the 32-bit addon that it was running on (electronic farts, anyone?).

This hack goes above and beyond what I would want for a revamp or fix to a console version of Doom. On top of remedying everything I mentioned above, the added graphics options, an always run toggle, and support for both 3/6 button controllers and the Sega Mouse just blow me away. I haven't had a chance to try this on real hardware yet, but I was able to play this on BizHawk 2.6.3 through the Picodrive core, and it plays like an utter dream. The level of polish and obvious care that went into this redone version of Doom cannot be overstated.

While Doom 32x Resurrection certainly won't replace the original PC releases of Doom or Doom II, or any of the many source ports made to run them (including Bethesda's official modern releases), it is the definitive Doom experience on the Sega 32x and is on par with the PlayStation version in my opinion. I cannot recommend it enough if you're an old school Sega and/or Doom fan.

Without spoilers, I have to give this team two thumbs up for the excellent work done to remake the engine, the GFX, the controls, the sounds and the soundtrack. Every aspect of this game has been refined and really shows what could have been done with proper programing and hardware utilized to it's maximum. The framerate in this version of the game is smooth as silk compared to the retail version. There are no control latency problems like there was in the retail version. The talent displayed by Spoony Bard(AKA TheSpooniestBard) with the effort put into the in-game bit-tunes are night & day better than the retail. It just takes the whole experience to that next level of excellence that we all would have loved BITD.

The wonderful experience this remake of the 32X version of Doom provides can not be understated. It is masterful and something to behold, not just because it's a title for the 32X, but because it's just that good!

Whether you play on emulator or real hardware, you're going to have fun! Make some time, plug in, play and enjoy!

This is just a piece of work, it feels a completely different game from the original, making it basically one of the best ports of DOOM.
