Author release notes: Okay, so I was getting too many apps on my iPhone to hold on just one screen so I wrote a little script to swap out the home screen to a second screen. If anyone is interested in d/l-ing the file I put it up here: http://www.4shared.com/file/21853681/38fdea63/iSwap.html. BTW, after trying to figure it out for a while I found out how to launch a shell script from an icon (which is what I'm doing in this app). I'll post another entry explaining how if anyone is interested. Read more about iPhone iSwap (iPhone Application)

This is a native port of Doom to the iPhone. There is no controller support yet, so you really can't do anything except watch the demo scenes. WAD files go in /var/root/Media/Doom . If the app quits immediately after launch, there was probably an issue with the wad file. If you're using the shareware wad, make sure it's named doom1.wad . If that doesn't help, execute the app from the shell so you can see the printf()s. Read more about iPhoneDOOM (iPhone Game Port)
