Essential improvements

Patches

All patches for the retail version can be found here. An old semi-official patch for OS X (PowerPC only) can also be found here. Digital distribution versions are already patched.

bMouse

bMouse will cause the vertical aiming to be inverted. To fix this, set the mouse Y scale to a negative number in Control Setup and Setup Advanced Control Options.

bMouse is a DOS extension which improves mouse looking by removing an engine limitation which would force to use one mouse axis at a time to aim.

Widescreen Fixes for Duke Nukem 3D

An unofficial patch for Duke Nukem 3D which aims for adding widescreen support.

Supports EDuke32, Rednukem, BuildGDX and Raze.

Under active development.

Adds widescreen support for weapons and menu tiles in Duke Nukem 3D and all official addons (Caribbean, DukeDC, Nuclear Winter).

Replaces default menu font from Atomic with redfont from 1.3D.

Adds skyboxes in BuildGDX.

No widescreen support for user maps.^[5]

Play without the CD

The Atomic Edition checks for files on the CD.^[6]

Make necessary changes^[7]
Copy the CD contents to the installation folder. Edit `<path-to-game>\CDROM.INI` Clear the contents of `CDROM.INI` Save the changes and close the file. If you installed the game from the CD open `DUKE3D.EXE` in a hex editor, go to offset 00087F93 and change the byte value from 84 to 2A. If you got the game from a digital storefront, this step is not necessary.

Source ports

Name	Description
EDuke32	Adds many modern features to Build engine such as high and widescreen resolution, dynamic lighting and shadows and expands the modding capabilities. It doesn't properly support multiplayer yet.
EDuke32-OldMP	A multiplayer branch of an old EDuke32 build.
Rednukem	Branch of EDuke32. Supports games based on Duke Nukem 3D codebase such as Redneck Rampage and Duke Nukem 64.
xDuke	Straight port from the original DOS release that only adds a console and the ability to load music packs.
hDuke	Based off xDuke. Focused on multiplayer, it features extra parameters such as frag limit and an anti-cheat system.
nDuke	Base off xDuke. Similar to hDuke, it also features a team deathmatch mode.
Icculus Duke3D	Straight port from the original DOS release for all platforms.
BuildGDX	Source port based on Java's libGDX framework. Adds high resolutions support, OpenGL renderer, and improved mouse controls.

NuBuildGDX	Fork of BuildGDX aiming for stability, bug fixing and performance improvements.
Raze	Fork of various Build Engine ports to GZDoom architecture. Also supports Blood, Redneck Rampage, and PC Powerslave/Exhumed.

All source ports (except later builds of EDuke32) will require to manually copy DUKE3D.GRP and DUKE.RTS into their root folders.

EDuke32 in particular will automatically recognize an existing Duke Nukem 3D install (either from Steam as the Megaton Edition or 20th Anniversary World Tour, or from GOG.com) and will pull from there.

Roland SC-55 music packs

Soundtrack for Duke Nukem 3D recorded on an authentic SC-55 for use with EDuke32 or the Megaton Edition. Choose either OGG or FLAC; MP3 does not support proper looping.
