Asset Organization

How the assets of Doom 64 is stored varies amongst the various ports. In general, WAD files are where the majority of the Doom 64 assets are stored, which includes the graphics and levels, and the Nintendo 64 ROM has one embeded. The information, music, and sound file locations vary from engine to engine. Below is a list of where each asset type is stored.

  • Textures
    • All Engines - In WAD file between lump T_START and T_END markers
