Well, if you pop up a sprite viewer (PFME has a badly hacked one) and scan
through you will find the four sprites I mentioned. You will NOT find any
sprite that contains the entire image for any of the key gizmos.

Subject: DOOM MUST FALL
I've had some trouble with exe editing for the total conversion
patch for DOOM (DOOM MUST FALL) I've just released.. when I try to make a
1.9 dehacked patch (by loading up the 1.666 patch in 1.9 mode and saving it,
as I did for 1.2 to 1.666) Dehacked saves all the monster data, things data,
etc. but none of the strings. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions? Thanks!

The key to ONE MUST FALL is knowing who the 17 hit combos
work on..
DOOM MUST FALL IS OUT! Get it from my home page or ftp site!

It's no joke!! We (my working comrades) have developed a port of DOOM II to
the Nintendo Gameboy. It runs GREAT in single-player and we are VERY CLOSE to
getting the multi-player (Deathmatch or Cooperative) to work at a reasonable
frame rate. We got a copy of the source code from ftp.idsoftware.com and
modified it to run under the Gameboy API.
For networking, we are using a modified RS-232 connection (not well documented
by Nintendo) into a multiplexing serial adapter. All of this is very
inexpensive to set up and not too complicated if you know what you are doing.
Because of the nature of our "network" and the way in which we modified the
engine, the theoretical limit on simultaneous connections is 256. Of course we
don't have 256 Gameboys to test this on, but we have SUCCESSFULLY tested it on
12 of them (thanks to PAGBUG, Portland Area GameBoy User's Group).
The code could be EASILY MODIFIED to port to almost ANY MACHINE if you are
reasonably familiar with the system calls involved. We are interested in getting
an ASCII VERSION of DOOM to run on HP programmable calculators, but we think
that might be too demanding on the hardware. At any rate, it works and if you
would like to try it, feel free to grab the binary executable from ftp.cdrom.com
in the /pub/doom/doom2/binaries/Gameboy directory. I'll upload it to the incoming
directory today and send a note to Mike (the SysOp at cdrom.com) to move it
as quickly as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact me at dclough@nmhg.com.

if i'm pulling ANYONES leg.... i think it woulden't be on the internet..
anyways... it IS easy for someone to reverse engineer some things if they know
how..
and then rewrite the code... and then recompile it... then use that code :)
