Key points

Although this fan-made port is available for free, it requires data from the Doom 64 ROM in order to work.
Great port that includes widescreen support, higher frame-rate, mouse look, and controller support.
Mouse aiming has been rendered broken on Windows 10 after Fall Creators update. Use the SDL fix.
