For some reason mono's site does not contain the wad file :? not sure why but then again I've never asked :roll:

For the full version that gives you everything you need go to mboden's site.

Also, when you do get the wad file, it goes in a subfolder to the exe, not the actual folder, as the instructions tell ya!

[Guest bit slow]

many thanks for advice will let know tomorow,

as home time from work is very important..

The sub-directory with the .wad file in it should be called DoomSPV.

If you download from mboden's site, the file when unzipped is all laid out for you :)

just copy the unzipped folder to the phone and copy a shortcut of the doom file to

IPSMWindowsStart MenuGames

True - although if you skim read the instructions on his site (now who would do that?!) I think it's easy to misread that the doom1.wad should be in the same directory as the DoomSPV.exe :)

I wish people would email me telling me when i miss stuff like that!

I'll update it now.

Sorry m8 I thought you knew and had a reason for it :oops:

[Guest Monolithix [MVP]]

Yeah, turns out the EXP download on MBodens site only contains the .exe, i foolishly didnt think to check the zip files content before upping it hehe.

The full zip file (with .wad) is uploading now.

[Guest Gorskar]

Is it just me, or is there only the first episode included with Doom?

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

It's the shareware version not the full retail as the shareware source code has only been released

as far as I'm aware

:wink: Good news - I havn't had a chance to check that this applies to the SPV version of doom but with the PC and the Xbox conversion to get the other episodes (or on the xbox even play Doom 2) you just need to place the relevent wad file in the DoomSPV directory.

Of course this requires you to have the orriginal software that I don't think is freeware yet.

Oh while I'm here - can anybody please give me a run down of the keys used in Doom SPV - I am having terrible trouble navigating through menu's and quiting.

Still I'm quite happy to have doom running only 2 days after buying the phone Woo Hoo

[Guest vijay555]

The site says

* = Shoot

# = Use (and answering y when quitting)

3 = Escape

V

I tried the full Doom wad on the SPV version. It will only see episode one.

[Guest SanPabalo]

Thanks for the keys :lol: sorry for the n00bish advice about the wads :D i was hopeful, i may try to find a solution but seeing as the game is almost unplayable i may not bother

Hey guys thcko of the year award could be picked up here!! Just picked up my SPV and tried to download Doom. Followed the instructions by extracting the data, copy the folder to my media card and then creating a shortcut to games folder on the phone. There is now a folder entry on the phone saying 'Shortcut to Domm SPV', but when I click on it says "Can't find 'Doom SPV" (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.' What AM I doing wrong?? Please help :oops: :oops:

[Guest JoelRae]

Can you run doom directly using an explorer program?

[Guest awarner [MVP]]

Make sure you have a folder called DoomSPV (note no space between Doom and SPV) on your storage card this folder should contain the Doom .exe file and another folder called DoomSPV. Inside this second folder

should be the Doom1.wad file. I presume you know about creating short cuts as you have mentioned it.

Hope this helps.
