Ok, i have recently purchased doom95 Ultimate:D, it plays fine and runs on my computer with no problems, then i decided to play it on my PSP, i read up about the PSP doom thing, I installed it, and it says in the readme to place the doom.wad folder in the DOOM folder inside of PSP-->Game-->Doom-->iwad

and i did that, and when i start up the doom game, it starts and it shows a menu, i press file settings and set the wad to doom.wad, then i play the game, but when the game loads, after a few seconds, it comes up with an error, when i play the shareware version that came with the doom program, it works just fine...

can anyone help please?

I don't understand what Doom you have. But is you want play a Doom game on psp, only solution is play Doom for Psx.

Doom SLUS-00077 NTSC-U
Freezes at first loading screen on ANY firmware (3.00-3.73).

3.80 pops works! same as PAL, intro is fuzzy; no speed issue.

Or Final Doom. It should word with any firmware.

Download this tool (to create eboot.bpb) and rip it from you Psx disc.

I am running full Doom and Doom2 on my memstick, as well as wolf3d, Heretic, Hexen, Counterstrike, Duke3D, and ROTT

was simply a matter of copying to the right place on the memstick, and procuring a copy of the full wadfile, which I already had

It works a dream...

I am using Doom PSP v1.4, but have also tried Doom PSP v0.04, and Doom PSP v0.05 + WADs.

They all work. But I think Doom PSP 1.4 Is the best.

Cheers

That's not entirely true theres also an app that runs doom without the use for the psx emu or the iso. It's on www.dl.qj.net if you search doom.

when using psp doom, doom 1 will not play demos or other non playable screens (the screen after you defeat the bruiser bros):(. instead it says sumthing like "get_num_for_name: cannot find Phelp2". I dont know how to stop this, just an error of pspdoom. If you want to get into the game, you must be quick to avoid the error screen.

best of luck:D

The read me file for DOOM 1.4 is quite extensive my guess is that for some reason Doom 95 Ultimate may not work or may need to be patched somehow. Or perhaps it needs to be renamed properly?

From the readMe -

WAD files are identified by their name. A misnamed WAD file will
not work. Use the following to get the proper name:

Shareware Doom WAD = doom1.wad
Registered Doom WAD = doom.wad
The Ultimate DOOM WAD = doomu.wad
Doom 2 WAD = doom2.wad
Final Doom Plutonia WAD = plutonia.wad
Final Doom TNT WAD = tnt.wad

The FreeDoom WAD does not work because it is designed for BOOM, not
DOOM.

Ohhhh...so thats why it didnt work. My wad was named DOOM.WAD instead of DOOMU.WAD but i was well disapointed anyways because its just a credits screen after the bruiser bros.....:eek:
