Gabe Newell tried to create a port but didnt follow through until. The music and sound were still on, the character would just bump into the wall and keep working, but the game wouldn't accept any input. Doom 2 was a carbon copy of Doom 1 and released in 1994. In some cases the game would freeze after a while, but it kept working. However, after I used Compaq's own MODE tool to change CPU speed from default "high" to "auto", I got another result. Used Norton Commander to clear read-only status from all Doom 2 files. Also tried disabling internal cache, but it didn't help, just made the game extremely slow. Installed UNIVBE 5.3 anyways and added them to autoexec.bat. Make sure your game files are not write protected. You can also try disabling your CPU's internal cache with CACHEOFF to rule it out.
To the OP, does your computer have any external cache? Perhaps disabling or removing it may help. The Cirrus Logic cards are rock solid when it comes to VGA compatibility. Trouble is I'm not sure even the people that made it tick really knew what made it tick.I don't think UNIVBE will help him one bit considering Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM only use VGA capabilities. Not sure the brand can ever really be revived as anything but a competitive arena unless they get some talent that understand just what made it tick. They gave Raven a shot at 4 before Raven was "the CoD studio" and they made a cool game that acted as kind of a remake of 2.but it wasn't really "Quake" - it was just a decent standalone shooter. Starting with 3 they just made it a generic online arena brand with no real special sauce to speak of. Kind of lost what made 1 great, but there was a lot great about it on its own. Then Quake II was entirely different with a space marine invasion of a fairly unique industrial alien setting with a Borg type theme. It's a mishmash of ideas that distilled beautifully. Quake doesn't have an easily nameable quality. Easy to get right (despite Carmack getting it wrong with 3.) Doom is iconic but generic (and the original makers botched hit horrendously turning Doom 3 into an action horror.) Doom is just space marine in an enclosed industrial setting with swarms of demons ravaging.
