The source code for DOOM on the Super NES was released on July 14th 2020. In this episode we take a closer look at how its developer Randy Linden was able to pull off the impossible port to the SNES hardware.

Still one of the most insane port attempts ever. It had console broadband multiplayer in 1995. Lol

That was implemented in X-Band, a lot of it is not in the game natively.

Hacks!

NOt a lot of code in that vid.

Maybe Fabian Sanglard will make a writeup, those are always good.

I saw were main programmer Randy Linden mentioned that Doom SNES was running 95% from the FX2, only 5% used from the original hardware. Such a well rounded chipset for the time.
