It is a friendly fork of Chocolate Doom with higher resolution, raised engine limits, and optional gameplay and visual enhancements while preserving compatibility goals that matter to demo, savegame, and netplay users. ### Project history The project was created by Fabian Greffrath in 2014 and explicitly traces its origin to Chocolate Doom. The README says the name refers both to its crisp 640x400 internal resolution and to its origin, and the legal section marks Crispy Doom's additional copyright from 2014 onward. Crispy Doom's design brief is conservative by source-port standards: it aims at faithful Doom play, supports limit-removing vanilla maps, and avoids Boom or ZDoom map formats while adding optional quality-of-life features. This makes it attractive to users who want a packaged executable with enhancements but not a fundamentally different engine family. ### Adoption history Official download instructions list Windows release binaries, MacPorts and Homebrew on macOS, and Debian/Ubuntu packages from Debian 10 and Ubuntu 19.10 onward. That distribution footprint is important for a source port because users often want the engine packaged separately from commercial or shareware IWAD data. ### How it is used Users run Crispy Doom to play Doom-family IWADs and compatible PWADs with enhanced resolution, widescreen rendering, uncapped framerate, raised static limits, and optional features enabled through the Crispness menu, setup tools, or command-line parameters. ### Why package nerds care Crispy Doom is package-manager friendly because it keeps the engine open source and separate from game data, exposes multiple binaries for Doom-engine relatives, and documents compatibility boundaries clearly. For retro-gaming packages, those boundaries help maintainers set expectations about IWAD ownership, save/demo compatibility, and supported mod formats. ### Timeline - 2014: Repository created and project copyright begins. - 2018: Crispy Doom 5.4 release published on GitHub releases. - 2019: Debian/Ubuntu-era packaging is reflected in the official install notes for Debian 10 and Ubuntu 19.10 or later. ### Related projects - Chocolate Doom is the upstream fork base and compatibility reference. - Doom Retro, MBF, and WinMBF are acknowledged as influences or debugging references in the README. - Freedoom and the Doom shareware WAD are documented data options for users who do not own commercial IWADs. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Other Package-Manager Records - Debian apt - crispy-doom - 7.0-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: crispy-doom from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | Limit-raising medium-resolution Doom engine based on Chocolate Doom | https://fabiangreffrath.github.io/crispy-homepage - Nix - crispy-doom: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/cr/crispy-doom/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - crispy-doom - 6.0-2build2: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: crispy-doom from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | Limit-raising medium-resolution Doom engine based on Chocolate Doom | https://crispy-doom.org/ - apk - crispy-doom - 7.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: crispy-doom from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Limit-removing enhanced-resolution Doom source port based on Chocolate Doom | https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom - apk - crispy-doom-doc - 7.1-r0: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: crispy-doom-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Limit-removing enhanced-resolution Doom source port based on Chocolate Doom (documentation) | https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom - zypper - crispy-doom - 7.1-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: crispy-doom from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Higher resolution DOOM/Heretic/Hexen/Strife source port | https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom - zypper - crispy-doom-bash-completion - 7.1-1.6: normalized package name match | openSUSE Tumbleweed package metadata: crispy-doom-bash-completion from https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/repodata/50b07339cb64c8ed4091bdbabddadc1ff5737b090e478818a195b40d8a3292861a879139b4a3987c31109699fde9fbf4a716367ddf4eef77da75f96e3193d6ed-primary.xml.zst | Crispy Doom command line completion support for bash | https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/crispy-doom - MacPorts - crispy-doom: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: games/crispy-doom/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
