danny, regarding the doom demos

[M Lin]

it turns out that the 18:49 demo is illegit (TAS = tool-assisted speedruns), so that's what the DosDOOM/MBF source ports are for.

The fastest legitimate run is still 34:13 and i've confirmed that it's recorded in Doom II v1.9, so I see no reason why it shouldn't run the whole way.

however, i did find an interesting website called COMPET-N which lists the fastest times for each individual level as well as demos. the list is as follows:

MAP01 27.09.1998. Thomas "Panter" Pilger 00:05

which adds up to 24 min 26 sec if one person got all those times in one game

[M Lin]

oops, i just realized that some of the times in Skogsto's 34:13 run have exceeded those stated as 'world records for indiv levels' on COMPET-N.

if there's any way we could combine all of them into one demo..

[M Lin]

dANNY, GOT THE dOOM ii DEMOS TO WORK YET? i CAN'T GET dOOM TO RUN ON wIN xp.

[Danny]

Yeah, I was able to get the demos to work on my computer. I've been told that many games don't work on Windows XP - I guess that Doom is one of them.

Maybe we can play these demos the next time you come to my house!

[M Lin]

So did you get the 34:13 demo to run past Level 9?

[M Lin]

Did you? Please let me know
