Key points

Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch
- The Doom 64 EX Compatibility Patch is a patch that converts the game files of Doom 64 into a format that the fan-made port from 2008, Doom 64 EX, can recognize and play. This allows owners of Doom 64 to make use of the added features of the fan-made port, such as enabling mouse look, disabling auto-aim, etc.
Install the compatibility patch (Windows only)[11]
|
- Download the compatibility patch from the Steam thread and extract it to a temporary folder.
- Browse to <path-to-game> of the official 2020 port of Doom 64.
- Copy the files
DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.DLS over to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch.
- Browse to the temporary folder of the compatibility patch, launch
run.cmd , and press ↵ Enter.
- A new folder called
output was created that contains the patched Doom 64 EX compatible files.
- The compatible files can now be moved into the base installation folder of Doom 64 EX and played using the fan-made port.
Notes
- Do not overwrite the original files within <path-to-game> of Doom 64 with the patched files as they have been made incompatible with the official port!
|
Restoring red medical crosses
- The red cross symbols that were altered in this re-release.
Use uncensored.wad for Doom 64
|
- Download Restore Red Crosses and extract
uncensored.wad into the DOOM 64 folder.
- Launch the game with the
-file uncensored.wad command line argument.
Notes
- This method disables achievements as it finds loading the WAD as a cheat. This issue can be bypassed by using Sui's Hack and enabling
FileDoesntSetCheatFlag .
|
Restore the red crosses via SLADE[12]
|
- Download the original uncut files here, and then extract its contents to its own folder within a convenient location on your computer.
- Download the latest stable binaries of SLADE that matches your operating system here.
- Run SLADE, and go to Edit → Preferences → Advanced, then uncheck
iwad_lock and click Apply.
- Open the
DOOM64.WAD found in <path-to-game> with SLADE, and then search for the following files by using the search box: MEDIA0 , PSTRA0 , and STIMA0 .
- Right-click each of these files, click Import, and then replace these files with their uncensored counterparts that you have downloaded earlier.
- Go to File and click Save to save the changes. You should now see the original red crosses on recovery items. A back-up of the original WAD file is also created automatically.
Notes
- This method not disable achievements as you are not loading WAD files into the game, therefore does not count as a cheat.
