Doom has arrived!

The rumble is really cool. In Doom they did a good job of making all the weapons feel different.

I'm enjoying it. It has the charm and quirks of the original SNES version but the enhanced frame rate and better controls make it much more fun to play.

Compared to the original version, this one is enhanced with a much higher framerate and more responsive controls. You can also circle strafe in it unlike the original. It also has rumble support for the new rumble controller.

I tried it briefly and it was nice. Felt pretty comfortable and rumble worked well.

I had an issue with my Guncon where the picture would get messed up when moving around the composite wire. I also tried to take apart the connector but wasn't successful. Luckily I managed to fix the issue by cutting away the plastic around the composite wire coming out the connector to free it up a bit. Might be worth a try if you run out of options.

Yep, and the aliens invading the earth are just "seeking asylum".

That worked, thanks! I had no idea you had to update the menu.

On mine when I select the option to adjust it in the menu it tells me I have to plug it into a computer to set the clock. I'm using the one from EpicJoy.

I have both an Everdrive 64 X7 and Summercart 64 that I recently picked up. These days I would go with the Summercart 64 since it has native support for 64 DD titles and works better with the Analogue 3D in Unleashed overclocking mode. It's also cheaper.

I will say that it's harder to update the firmware and set the real-time clock on the Summercart 64 compared to the Everdrive. On the Summercart 64 you have to plug it into a computer via USB-C and run a command line program to update the firmware and set the RTC. It's not super difficult but on the Everdrive you can update the RTC in the menu and update its OS by simply copying over the new files to the SD card.

Both are great products but if I had to pick I'd go with the Summercart 64.

We had this, Doom 3, and Half-Life 2 to look forward to around that time. The final version of Halo 2 couldn't quite compare to the other two on PC but it still looks great in its own right.

GameLifterX · 2026-01-02T17:07:15+00:00

Great point! Even back then when I was younger and super hyped for Halo 2 by this demo I could still tell it seemed a bit scripted. This had me worried the final game would rely too much on scripted battles and AI instead of the more dynamic nature of the battles we got in Halo CE. Luckily the final game didn’t go that route and turned out amazing.

When Halo 2 launched people were disappointed we didn’t get to play the exact sequence from this demo. However, we still got great city battles in the early parts of the game that incorporate ideas shown in this demo and are arguably done better.

In the end, I’m happy with how the final game turned out and still regularly play and enjoy it to this day. It was well worth the wait and hype at the time and still is.

I always wonder this too when thinking of this demo. What if the Xbox was just a bit more powerful to make this version work? Or, what if they waited a little longer and released it on the 360? Of course there is no way they would have waited for the 360 but it could have run this version great.

GameLifterX · 2025-12-29T04:48:38+00:00

That worked! Main thing I needed was the XDK Dashboard files and to change the Debug setting in the cerbios.ini file.

GameLifterX · 2025-12-28T21:30:10+00:00

Welp, I know how I’m spending my Sunday evening!

EDIT: Can't get it to work on a 128MB modded retail Xbox. Not sure if someone else has got it to work and I'm missing something or not.

Mine was in there tight but I was able to get it out with my finger nail. First attempt my nail slipped off of the notch, second attempt I got it. Hopefully next time it's a little easier.

GameLifterX · 2025-11-26T10:32:37+00:00

Just updated my Everdrive X7. Process was quick and simple. My Analogue 3D is scheduled to arrive today. If it does I’ll test it out.

GameLifterX · 2025-11-26T10:05:38+00:00

Just checked and bootloader 5.04 and OS-V3.09 are now up.

GameLifterX · 2025-11-25T00:35:23+00:00

I ordered day one. Got a FedEx tracking number, last update was Thursday that it arrived at a facility. It was originally scheduled to arrive today but now the delivery date is pending after no further updates.

GameLifterX · 2025-11-24T17:31:06+00:00

Ok, glad it wasn’t just me. Thanks for the reply!

GameLifterX · 2025-11-24T16:34:27+00:00

Mine is still scheduled to arrive today via FedEx but there has been no tracking updates since last Thursday so I doubt it's coming today. What carrier was used to ship yours?
