sugarcreamcandy · Post by **sugarcreamcandy** » Tue May 20, 2008 10:35 pm

I finally downloaded doom and the dosbox (at least it appears that way)
So I unzip doom click the install and the imfamous little black box pops up but only for a split second.. not hardly enough time to see anything or do anything....
I just want to play the bloody game.

HALP.

ALSO:(more info) the total files in the doom folder were
install.bat (not exe??)
doom_19.dat
doom_19.2
doom_19.1
Deice.exe

typed exactly as i see it

You must RUN dosbox and run install IN dosbox. You don't click on the install ........

Why not just download zdoom or skulltag?

Skulltag don't work with the shareware Doom.
DoomsdayHQ does (=jDoom).
And he needs the WAD file first.

Wait, euuuu, jDoom comes with the shareware Doom.... or not ? Damn, I forgot. Now yeah , whatever, google for it.

If you have a hacked PSP / DS why not use Doom on those consoles?

what happens is it says illegal action to everything and says cannot delete doom_19
which i dont get..

and i read through all of that (XP) but i dont get it. yes I know im a freaking moron when it comes to computers, Im not going to pretend im not. this is why im here.

You obviously lack basic knowledge to solve your problems, so begin with answering the questions if you want help.

zDoom and Skulltag : GOOGLE......?
