I wasl looking through several old Google posts on the Sega 32X version of Doom. I discovered that after the credits screen, C:\DOOM> appears on the screen, and the system becomes unresponsive. One poster mentioned that this was a joke, but I want to confirm whether it really is or not, or if 32X Doom may have actualy been running under a DOS emulation. It seems strange to do this with a game cartridge, but it's conceivable that it's would be much easier to develop the port on a standard PC, with out having to change the way it access it's data files, and simply copy it to a flash-rom with a DOS volume and a bare version of DOS designed to run with the 32X instruction set that automaticly loads DOOM on start up. -- Because of recent forgery, make sure the path header ends with earthlink. c ## ________________________________________________ Yvan eht nioj! m ###### l Proprclr - batch file writer, non conformist l alt.prog: d ######## l and command line maniac.
