A new homebrew port of The Ultimate Doom that includes episode 4, as well as a complete port of Doom II and select maps from TNT Evilution have been compiled together as Doom CD32X Fusion and programmed by the talented duo of Vic and ChillyWilly from the Doom World forums. The pair were previously responsible for Doom 32X Ressurection.
This new port makes use of the Mega Drive, Mega-CD and 32X to offer the best playing version of Doom available for the system and can run on real hardware as well as the Ares emulator. The Mega-CD also gives the game PCM audio for enhanced music.
Detailed instructions on how to compile a working copy of the game for Mega Drive, Mega-CD and 32X owners can be found on the game’s forum entry at Doom World. You also need to source some files from a real copy of Doom 1&2 in order to compile the necessary ROM file.
The Doom World entry on Doom CD32X Fusion also details every single addition and feature this project has over the previously released Doom 32X Resurrection homebrew project. Doom 32X Resurrection was made to enhance the 32X port of Doom with a large variety of improvements and is also available to download here.

SEGA have sold their stake in Humankind developer Amplitude Studios as a part of a management buyout. The studio has now become an independent and will thankfully continue to exist.
SEGA have made considerable lay-offs to staff internally as well as staff working at The Creative Assembly and SEGA Hardlight across 2024 as a part of their corporate restructure. It’s all a bit cold and uncaring for an industry that is reportedly one of the most successful entertainment mediums around nowadays.
Under SEGA, Amplitude developed Humankind, Endless Dungeon and Endless Space 2. The studio mainly specialised in strategy titles for a PC audience.
SEGADriven would like to wish everyone at Amplitude Studios our very best and hope the studio manage to continue their work and success as an independent.
Justin Scarpone, the current transmedia boss at SEGA, has casually dropped the news that SEGA are developing a new Virtua Fighter game in an interview with VGC.
When questioned about the challenge of reviving old franchises for modern audiences, Scarpone says the following:
“So we have a suite of titles in development right now that fall into that legacy bucket, which we announced last year at The Game Awards; Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Shinobi, and we have another Virtua Fighter being developed.”
While we have seen some in-game footage of the new Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio games, this is the first time SEGA have mentioned anything about a new Virtua Fighter game.
The last Virtua Fighter title to be released was the digital-only Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown for PS4 back in 2021. This was an expanded port of Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown that was developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios using their Dragon Engine. The game was released for free to PlayStation Plus subscribers and amassed a very large playerbase as a result.
There is currently no further information about this new Virtua Fighter game at the time of writing. Fingers crossed we don’t have to wait too long to see the game formally announced with a trailer alongside some more information like what platforms it is heading to.
SEGA are going to be delisting a bunch of digital games on December 6th 2024 with the headline release being the SEGA Mega Drive Classics compilation on Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One. On Steam this title has a dedicated launcher called the SEGA Mega Drive Hub, but each game in the collection is available to buy seperately. The full collection was only made available as one big compilation on Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.
Alongside the delisting of SEGA Mega Drive Classics, a bunch of other titles are being delisted like the HD ports of Jet Set Radio, Nights into dreams…, SEGA Bass Fishing, Crazy Taxi and Sonic the Fighters. For the full list of titles affected click the “read more” link below:
