Passwords
When Doom 64 was released gaming consoles did not have internal memory dedicated for storage. Memory cards and packs were also a new concept as well. Thus to accomodate players who did not have a memory pack, Doom 64 implemented a password system. These days it isn't as useful, but many engines still support passwords and you can get yourself out of bad or corrupted saves with them!
Password Generator
The Doom 64 password generator was originally designed by Quasar as free software under a GNU license. Since then, the password generator below has been expanded to support difficulties and levels for newer Doom 64 engines as well. Be sure to read the notes at the end for additional information and distribution licensing.
- Note 1: Set Level to 1 to enable the Features menu.
- Note 2: Ammo, Health, and Armor values may be rounded up in the calculated password in accordance with the original Doom 64.
- Note 3: Artifacts are additive. The first acquired gives double speed, the second double lasers, and the third triple lasers. It does not matter which of the three artifacts are acquired, only how many are possessed.
- Note 4: Level naming is assumed to be that of the original Doom 64 and rereleases (including the Lost Levels).
- Note 5: Difficulties above "Watch Me Die" and levels beyond 40 assume the GEC Doom 64 RE password system.
