That's how you recognize the true oldschool player - the insistence on being as genuine as possible. When someone starts telling me about how they can't play without hi-res texture packs or 3D models in games that aren't supposed to have them, I find it hard to take them seriously. Some people in the Doom community hve this annoying habit of directly recommending Brutal Doom (which is a mod) without even asking what the player is really looking for.

Yeah, some problems are beyond the scope of compat options. There are a few that were fixed by them, though - e.g. "any boss death can trigger level special" option was specifically added to address a change in Ultimate Doom that broke compatibility with some maps that played fine regular 1.9.

Sure, why not. If you need some extra motivation, keep in mind that if you don't show up, I'll have to switch to Plan B, and clean up and do other chores around the house. Who would want THAT? :P

We should test it - if it's stable and doesn't buffer every 5 seconds, it would be nice.
