DOS 6.22 running Doom in MESS
Introduction
This guide will walk you through the process of getting the DOS version of DOOM running within the MAME ct486 machine. This will demonstrate We'll cover off some of the specific tweaks required when installing DOS
As a bonus we'll also cover how to setup 2 instances of the DOOM playing Deathmatch over a null modem cable. When we do this we'll need to implement a bitbanger device between the two machines to allow them to communicate over their "null modem" cable.
Prerequisites
- A CHD with MS-DOS 6.22 installed.
Process
The hardest part is over, that being setting up the CHD setup with DOS in the first instance.
Specific to DOOM (as of MAME 0.217) you'll want to get copies of some DOOM v1.2 (3) disks
For reference the md5 of the disks we use in this guide are
