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.
The 2024 edition of the Sonic Amateur Games Expo is about to kick off later this week (Friday September 6th 2024 to be exact), and now we have our first look at some of the games that will be featured at the event. Check out the full 19 minute showcase trailer via the embed below:

Developed by RheoGamer, a brand new port of Real Bout Fatal Fury for the Mega Drive is now available to download. Now titled Real Bout Fatal Fury Genesis, you can click here to be taken to the direct download link, but the amount of traffic this link is currently receiving is making it difficult to access the page at the time of writing.
Real Bout Fatal Fury is the 5th entry in SNK’s Fatal Fury series, originally released in arcades in 1995. It has only received ports to the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD, Saturn and PlayStation prior to this homebrew port. You can check out the reveal trailer via the embed below.
