********************************************HPC Doom********************************************* ********************************Based on a source port by Bruce Lewis**************************** *******************************************gamefreaks******************************************** BEFORE INSTALLING: If you have important data on your device, as always, you are strongly advised to back-up your files. I cannot be held responcible for anything that happens while using HPC Doom. Despite through testing, sods law states that if something can go wrong, it will do so at the most inopputune moment...

To install: HPC Doom is a WindowsCE 2.11 HPC port of Doom based on Bruce Lewis's DoomCE port, which in turn is based on WinDoom, which is based on Linux Doom, which is based on the original Doom sources!!! HPC Doom should run on any CE2.11 or HPC2000 HPC and has been tested (sucessfully) on a Jornada 680 and a 720. There is currently an issue with the NEC Mobile Pro 770. WHAT IS A WAD? A wad file is required to play HPC Doom. These are the level and other data of the game. This is seperate from the Doom executable program file in the zip. By doing this iD software have been able to keep Doom as commercial software and release the source code. A shareware wad file can be found freely on the internet. You may have commercial version of Doom. If so, copy the .wad file to the device. This way you will be able to play all the Doom levels. Name your IWAD: HPC recognises the type of IWAD that is being used by it's name. (It also checks for sharware versions disguised as registered wads!) Call the IWAD: Doom1.wad ->Shareware version. Doom.wad ->Registered version. 3 episodes. Doomu.wad ->Ultimate Doom. 4 Episodes. Doom2.wad ->DoomII. Plutonia.wad ->Plutonia exp. tnt.wad ->TnT. Create a folder called 'HPC Doom' this can be on a storage card if you wish, place your IWAD in that folder. HPC Doom can use any IWAD (Shareware Doom,Ultimate Doom, Doom2, Plutonia, TNT etc) as long as the filename is consistant with the type of wad that is being used. This means the path will either be: \Storage Card?\HPC Doom\ -or- \HPC Doom\ WHY WONT IT WORK ON MY FRENCH/GERMAN/OUTER MONGOLIAN J710/720/728? This is an incompatibility with GAPI HPC and these devices. Try launching HPC Doom using -fixvid command-line parmeter. This will use perset video settings and will ignore the incorrect information returned by GAPI HPC. KEYS: Up arrow: Move forward Down arrow: Backpedal Left arrow: Turn left Right arrow: Turn right ctrl: Shoot/Strafe '0' key: Scale screen/automap up '9' key: Scale screen/automap down 'G' key: Gamma bump Esc: Pause menu Tab: Toggle automap Numbers 1-8: Select weapon CUSTOM WADS: (PWADS) You can also play custom wad files, to do this use the -file command line parameter. IMPORTANT: The file path used in this parameter is relative to your HPC Doom folder. This is because Doom will see a space (eg: as in 'Storage Card2) as a new file. So if you put a custom wad file called 'MyWad.wad' in your HPC Doom directory, you would just use -file MyWad.wad rather than the full file path. Don't use '../', it probably won't work! Have fun! -gamefreaks
