Play Doom On An Iphone

The iPhone swept the nation after its release. Soon after, the phone, fantastic as it was, was not enough--people wanted more. Enter that classic video game, Doom. For those of you who love the game and love your iPhone, now you can have the best of both worlds (almost).


Instructions


1. Find a Doom ".wad" file online so that you can play Doom on your iPhone. You can use either a purchased file or shareware file, as long as the file is titled, "doom1.wad."


2. Load your doom1.wad file into "/var/root/Media/Doom."








3. Run the program. If the file does not load, you may have a problem with the file--an issue that is present more with the shareware files. Attempt to run the .wad file for playing Doom on your iPhone from the shell. Look for printf()s.


4. Install Doom directly onto your iPhone by downloading an initial version of Doom by stepwhite. The file is 195 KB.


5. Use the touch screen for the controller. Sound will soon come, as well as controllers that are more sophisticated.


6. Get another version of Doom for your iPhone by going to Safari, and go to sources. In sources on your iPhone, type: http://marcogiorgini.com/iPhone/plist.xm.


7. Click OK. After the program loads into your iPhone, go to the menu to the "M," and find Marcogiorgini.com.








8. Look for the file that includes 3D games, and select it. You will be given two more choices, so choose Yeti 3D, and click "Install."


9. Choose which mode you would like, either landscape or portrait, and start shooting the monsters as you play Doom on your iPhone.
