Crispy Doom U is a Wii U adaptation of Crispy Doom, an enhanced-resolution, limit-removing Doom source port based on Chocolate Doom. The name "Crispy" refers to its internally crisp 640x400 resolution, with a slight reference to its origin.

This Wii U port was made possible by collaborative efforts of Crispy/Chocolate Doom authors, devkitPro, and the SDL2 porting team.

Features

  • Up to date with Crispy Doom 5.12.0.
  • High feature parity with the PC version, retaining the full Crispy menu (excluding elements irrelevant to Wii U).
  • Smooth analog control support for both movement and turning.
  • Simple launcher for selecting IWADs and optional PWADs.
  • Music support using OPL3 (with minor stutter when loading new tracks).
  • Wii U Pro Controller and Wii Classic Controller support.
  • Controller rebinding (currently via editing crispy-doom.cfg).
  • Optional toggle to fix the blockmap bug (page 4 of the Crispy menu).

Installation

Extract the release into sd:/wiiu/apps/crispy-doom-u.

Place your WADs in sd:/wiiu/apps/crispy-doom-u/wads.

If you do not have any Doom WADs, you can use the free shareware version of Doom, or the Freedoom project.
