Support for other WADs

[amak79]

Does DoomBIOS support other WADs besides the shareware version? PureDOOM appears to support multiple WADs, but when I use the registered Doom WAD (doom.wad), DoomBIOS doesn't get past the [DOOM] Initializing... message.

Hmm that's strange. I tested it on shareware, doom1 and doom2 so it should work.

I think the filename is important. So registered doom should be doom.wad or doom2.wad etc

I'm not sure it supports any custom wads.

Here is the output when loading E:/doom/doom.wad. There is graphical corruption which isn't present when the WAD isn't found.

I'm using the WAD from my original copy of Doom. Its sha1 hash is df0040ccb29cc1622e74ceb3b7793a2304cca2c8, which matches version 1.1 of registered Doom, so the WAD should be valid.

I also had trouble getting the shareware version working until I realised the WAD path is case sensitive. I think it would be nice to have a note about that in the instructions.
