Idea - menu/launcher
I've been dabbling in qbasic recently and had a crack at a "launcher" for FastDoom!
Could be improved by allowing user to set command-line options as well!
Looks awesome!! I'm pretty sure users will love this. A simple question, does this launcher work with monochrome videocards (like MDA or Hercules)? Those have different base address for text modes and the attributes are different compared to color modes.
Good question. Since it's all text based I think it would work for any video card/res but I'm no expert.
I can drop you a demo version if you'd like to test it out!
Here's the EXE, only a few menu items work right now. I tried it on my 386 with 16 shade orange plasma display and it didn't blow it up 💪!

i was thinking of a simple batch file but your fancy exe is more powerful
Think it would be better if it used menus that stored the values in a text file config, that retained them as "Defaults" after each launch, rather then linear-prompts.
like
Launch -> [Launches with selected options, stored in conf as default.] Choose Game [wad chooser] -> [linear prompts of the wad files, from "Game Wads" directory] Options -> (Video Options -> [Contents of the gif]) (Sound Options -> Sound Effects -> [SB, etc; like the original doom setup] | Midi -> [Midi-type, midi port, etc.;] | Manual-Mode[Text prompt, with string with parameters stored in conf]) (Extra Commandline Options -> [text prompt with variable string stored in conf]) (Game Wads -> [Text entry for WAD Directory] ) Quit Launcher -> [exits status 0]
