Talk:DOOM1.WAD

I just downloaded and installed doom19s.zip and the checksums of my doom1.wad do not match the ones listed here. I corrected it.

According to http://www.soulsphere.org/random/doom-md5sums.txt (found with google):

 * Thanks for that. Fraggle and I have gone to great pains to assemble correct MD5 sums for the IWADs, testing different upgrade paths, etc. I know at least one other person working on the wiki does too. It's one example of where it would be useful to have some verifiability for facts, as you've done here: how someone can check.

Of course, in this case, it was fraggle himself that made the mistake :P -- 82.39.205.158 19:46, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

About the 1.25 version, I've not been able to find more info about it other than the added info in the readme.exe

SPECIAL VERSION 1.25 FOR SYBEX Unfortunately, this version does not support the GUS sound card due to time limitations. This version should be more stable than v1.2.

Also my hashes match the hashes of this post http://forums.newdoom.com/showpost.php?p=488219&postcount=18 (Kimo Xvirus 18:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC))
 * Did this come with "The Official Doom Survivor's Strategies & Secrets" by Sybex? I'm pretty sure it came with a copy of the game (and I see the back cover in my copy is torn, as if there was once a disk envelope glued on it). I'll have to see if I still have the disks somewhere (assuming they're still readable)... -- CODOR 00:31, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Fixed some apparent vandalism
Hello doom wiki! Found this page while I was looking for different versions of wads, to my surprise there are md5 hashes listed on here for older versions, which is very useful. However, the page appears to have had a bad edit back in 2016 by an anonymous user, which removed the hashes for version 1.9:

https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/DOOM1.WAD?diff=100491&oldid=100121

Linked above in another discussion on this talk page there was a txt file of doom md5 hashes which is no longer available, but I've found an archive of it:

https://web.archive.org/web/20061012070056id_/http://www.soulsphere.org/random/doom-md5sums.txt

According to this, the removed md5 hash f0cefca49926d00903cf57551d901abe in the page history is correct for version 1.9 of the doom1.wad, so I've reverted their edit. If I've made any mistakes, feel free to correct them and/or contact me. Deadly_Bunny (talk) 01:20, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
