I used them both DoomAttack has some more options (DoomAttack prefs) in my old video you can see them both at work.

as i can't find it in readme of doomattack, do i need only .wad files from gog's ultimate doom and doom 2 / final doom? and how can i set up doomIIevolution and doomIIplutonia which i have seen in your video?

btw. does your installation of descent (a folder seen in your video) work? i never found a working one, i never could play it on amiga.

I can confirm that the .WAD files for both Ultimate Doom and Doom II from GOG work with DoomAttack and Adoom. I did not test Final Doom, nor the Doom II 'master levels'.

To play with Doom2 TNT (Ivilution), Doom 2 Plutonia does not need any option just copy "TNT.WAD", or "Plutonia.WAD" to the Doom2 folder where Adoom and DooAttack were installed, in this folder there must not be "Doom2.WAD"" if present Doom2.WAD" you have to delete it or it will start instead of TNT or Plutonia.

Yes many years ago on my A4000/060 I had Descent (with PC Data) working, now I try to find it.

Here's my Descent that works on Amiga OS3 (no Audio):

i never got it working. i really would like to play it on amiga!

I'll send you a PM, it's my version of Descent from many years ago, the Amiga engine is an old ADescent version that seems to work better than the latest ones.

ADescent was my A4000/040 set for a low resolution RTG 8bit if you do not work delete the file config and in this way various the request to set your resolution.

If you have a different CPU you can download the various ADescent engines on Aminet (not tested):
http://aminet.net/search?query=ADescent0

ADescent requires considerable resources on an AGA system, on an RTG system it is very fast as shown in my video

- Ixemul.library V47.3
- Ixnet.library for Networking
- AHI
- FPU

[honx]

thx, i'll try that! does ixemul.library v48.0 work as well? it seems to be the latest version.
http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/ixemul-48.0
and do i need ixnet.library, if i'm not going to use networking? because this one i can't find on aminet.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

ixnet.library is located in the archive of the link you attached

Audio works just with old AHI (v4?) afair.

[honx]

is there a way to switch between ahi versions without having to uninstall new ahi version and install old ahi 4.x version?

Doom Attack is much more playable on an 020 or 030 than adoom, tried both and stuck with Attack as it runs much faster, can run it fullscreen albeit in low detail on my tf330, but not played it that much, so it may suffer on levels that have a lot of monsters

for my experiende with 68030 and 68040 Doom1 is playable with decent speed (not good) on 68030@50 mhz a part the fourth episode that is not playable. Too slow. Doom 2 is out on 68030.
With 68040 you can play good Doom1 and decent speed Doom2.
With 68060 Doom, Doom 2 and Final Doom run excellent!

Yep for DOOM 2 you really need an 060

i'm trying to install doomattack right now, beginning with doom 1. first of all, i need to start doomattack from cli because i have to set stack to 20000 using cli "stack" command. it does not work changing stack size in file information of doomattack. second, if i stay too long in game menu without starting doom, it quits, cli window shows error: "Error: W_GetNumForName: HELP2 not found!" i copied doom.wad into doomattack/data folder. what else do i need? in order to get it working properly?
//edit: adoom in comparison does not quit with this error and i can start it directly from workbench without tampering with cli and this stack command. for adoom i also only used doom.wad from pc version, nothing else. so i think, i'm gonna stick with adoom.

btw.: although i use doom.wad from gog, where i purchased the complete ultimate doom, i only see 3 episodes, not 4. where is episode 4?

Use a start script to set stack and start the game. Here it works. I guess the demo tries to start when you get the error. Read the docs. Maybe you have some missing files or in the wrong directory.

guide says: "...start doomattack from workbench by double-clicking doomattack_clickme icon..." there is no "doomattack_clickme" icon at all. it's the archive from aminet... and due to my not very good english, these installation instructions are very hard to read anyway (why is there never any german guide available?)... i'll stick with adoom, there are no errors at all and i don't have to mess with instructions which i obviously misunderstand...

//edit: i had to rename doom.wad to doomu.wad in order to get episode 4...

Maybe it's a small archive in fact all the icons are missing, you can download the icons and much more in this archive:

There are two different files, DOOM.WAD is the original 3 episodes, DOOMU.WAD is Ultimate Doom with the 4th episode.
