This is a port of Doom Legacy v1.42 to the Xbox, based on Lantus's port of an older Legacy version.

Features

All Doom games should work (Doom, Doom II, Ultimate Doom and Final Doom).
Heretic works (Hexen is not supported in this version of Doom Legacy).
Two player split screen works.
Network play should work.
IWAD files shown in launcher can be adding to/changing by editing the wads/iwads.xml file.
XBOX specific in game options, including control setups.
Video mode can be set/changed from Doom Legacy options.

Installation

This release consists of 2 xbe files - default.xbe (the launcher application) and DoomLegacy.xbe (the Doom Legacy application itself). Both of these need to be present in order for things to work properly.

Wad files:

Wad files need to be placed in the wads/iwads folder.
Images to use in the launcher for each wad should be placed in the wads/images folder.
Each IWAD needs a corresponding entry in the wads/iwads.xml file.
Each wad entry in the xml file consists of 3 parts - a name, a path (to the wad) and a path to an image file (that is displayed in the launcher).

Network play:

This has not been tested on Xbox <-> Xbox game.
But it was tested to work on Xbox <-> PC Doom Legacy 1.42.

Screenshots

Credits

Big thanks to the Doom Legacy team (legacy.newdoom.com).

Thanks to lantus for starting the xbox port and for porting the SDL libraries.

-the more recent v1.42 - So big props to lantus for kicking the whole project off.

-This should be enough information to get you up and playing. I don't want to go into too much
-detail as this is a very, very early version so things are liable to change in the future.
-Seasons Greetings!

-=== Notes ===
------
-==== Launcher: ====
-This release consists of 2 xbe files - default.xbe (the launcher application) and DoomLegacy.xbe
-(the Doom Legacy application itself)
-Both of these need to be present in order for things to work properly.
-The launcher is just something quick and dirty that I threw together, just to get some wad
-selection facility in there (see wad files section below). Later releases will be much improved.
-==== Wad files: ====
-Wad files need to be placed in the wads\iwads folder.
-Images to use in the launcher for each wad should be placed in the wads\images folder.
-Each IWAD needs a corresponding entry in the wads\iwads.xml file.
-Each wad entry in the xml file consists of 3 parts - a name, a path (to the wad) and a path
-to an image file (that is displayed in the launcher).
-The structure of the file should be fairly self explanatory and isn't complicated, so I won't
-go into too much detail.
-==== Network play:====
-I say that this should work - I haven't actually tested an xbox<->xbox game.
-But it does work xbox<->pc Doom Legacy 1.42.
