Gered 605f5635e1 temporary but _definitely NOT_ ideal fix, music now works. 
i did not know this previously, but the way doom plays a music track
is by first extracting the MIDI file from the WAD to a temporary
file (doom.mid) and then playing it from there.

for a wii, this will cause unnecessary wear-and-tear on the players SD
card, so this behaviour should be changed (probably will end up
extracting all MIDI tracks from the WAD somewhere at startup if we
detect that it has not already been done so).

Chocolate Doom: Wii

A port of Chocolate Doom to the Wii. This is forked off of the 2.2.1 release.

This is still in the early stages. It compiles, but a number of things (controls, WAD selection, configuration, etc) are not ready yet.

Doom is being worked on first, Hexen, Heretic and Strife will follow next.

TODO

  • Controls. Nothing has been ported yet (code still assumes PC controls at the moment).
  • Config/setup.
  • WAD selection. Currently auto-scans for available IWADs.
  • Save game selection tweaks for console-friendlyness.
  • Hexen/Heretic/Strife

Why

There are a couple other ports of Doom to the Wii, but they either include a number of mods / "enhancements", don't support the controller I want to use (GameCube controller), don't run at the TV resolution (240p) I want, or they blur the video buffer unnecessarily with some filter (either intentionally or not), or .... well, I could go on.

Basically, I wanted a port that:

  • Is a vanilla port of Doom. I want to play the same game I played in the 90's with all the same bugs and quirks intact. None of this bullshit with random arbitrary bugfixes, mods, "enhancements" or whatever else.
  • Works with a GameCube controller. I don't want to have to plug in a USB keyboard or need to use batteries with a Wiimote + Classic Controller. Ugh.
  • Can be played using a 240p resolution because I play all my retro games on a CRT TV. This probably goes against my "vanilla" requirement above as none of us played Doom this way in the 90's, but after seeing it recently for myself I instantly feel in love with the look and wanted to do it for myself. However, this should be optional and 2x scaled to 480p should also work for play on modern HDTVs.

Building

You'll need devkitPro of course. Make sure devkitPPC, libogc, and all of the portlibs are installed (can be downloaded from here).

Lastly you'll need my fork of SDL-Wii which for right now you will need to compile and install manually (make && make install).

Now a chocolate-doom-wii.dol can be built via make -f Makefile.doom.
