I doubt it; Doom demos are simply stored sequences of mouse movements and keypresses, so the smallest change in a map or the executable itself may cause a demo to desync. And since ZDoom and JDoom are nearly complete rewrites of the Doom engine (and both AFAIK use different demo formats) it isn't possible to run old demos with them. > Or perhaps to make an AVI file out of the demo? Now this might be possible, I even seem to remember reading of a program that can do this. Does anyone else here remember it, or was I hallucinating? > On a related note, why does Doom 2 (the classic version) run so slow on > XP? doom2.exe is trying to access your Sound Blaster card's hardware directly, and XP doesn't like that (neither will 2000 or NT). Especially if you don't have a Sound Blaster-compatible card... Fortunately, both of your problems can be solved by using prboom (http://prboom.sf.net/), which not only runs fine in XP but also provides compatibility modes for playing back of old demos. -- Chris Odorjan - codorjan@gmail.com - http://www.execulink.com/~bobnet/
