Chocolate Doom is the first Doom port to support the old PC speaker sound effects. Here the PC speaker is being emulated through the sound card through SDL.

Hey i need some help please! I used to be a huge fan of doom back in the day and i want to start playing again! I downloaded Chocolate doom but it doesnt do anything when i run it. Do i need to install the doom games to actually play again? I used to have doom 1 and 2, but i dont know where the cd roms are anymore and i never got final doom on pc either (and i really wanna play final doom on pc because the psx version sucks) How do i get this to work so i can get back in the action again?!!

@TheWaynelds Yes, Chocolate Doom is just a source port. You still need the WAD files from the original games to play them.

If you can't find the CD-ROMs you once had you can buy the games really cheaply on Steam; alternatively you can download the shareware WAD for free.

hmm.....I don't understand this, the original doom already supports pc speaker sounds, why would you need a port or a mod?

@kainthevampireduck Chocolate Doom is the first source port to support PC speaker sound effects. The original Doom doesn't work properly on modern operating systems unless you use an emulator.

Fuck, this brings back memories! For quite a while, I didn't have a pair of speakers.

Wow... I wish it was the 1990s again. Before all this Call of Duty crap.

DOOM sounds more like Commander Keen now.

Sounds like my old Windows XP computer.

Ever since I got Windows 7, I downloaded Doom on it and I heard better sound O_O

I miss the sound of nostalgia!

Bittersweet tears of nostalgia just rolled down my cheek.

Whenever I boot MS-DOS from a USB Drive on my laptop that is the only option for sound that I have since this is a new laptop which doesn't have sound drivers for MS-DOS. I do wish there was a way to lower the beeping because it is freaking loud. Some of the music sounds really good even with this music composing program I downloaded but it is ear bleeding because of the loud volume. I saw an option on the Boot setup menu for spkr volume and it doesn't seem to be for the PC Speaker.

I had this kind of sound with Wolfenstein 3D and Commander Keen, but I got a new PC before Doom came out and luckily didn't receive anymore ear rape.

@fragglet thank you for the response and i'll check that resource out soon. I really just want Final Doom though because they did a shitty job on the playstation version.

My ears, they burn.
