improperly constructed donuts. In Vanilla Doom
this can differ depending on the operating
system. The default (if this option is not
specified) is to emulate the behavior when

-gameversion <version> Emulate a specific version of Doom. Valid values
are "1.9", "ultimate", "final", "final2", "hacx"
and "chex".
-setmem <version> Specify DOS version to emulate for NULL pointer
dereference emulation. Supported versions are:

archive).

-longtics Record a high resolution "Doom 1.91" demo.
-maxdemo <size> Specify the demo buffer size (KiB)
-playdemo <demo> Play back the demo named demo.lmp.
-record <x> Record a demo named x.lmp.
-timedemo <demo> Play back the demo named demo.lmp, determining the
framerate of the screen.

-1 Don't scale up the screen.
-2 Double up the screen to 2x its normal size.
-3 Double up the screen to 3x its normal size.
-8in32 Set the color depth of the screen to 32 bits per pixel.
-bpp <bpp> Specify the color depth of the screen, in bits per
pixel.
-fullscreen Run in fullscreen mode.
-geometry <WxY> Specify the screen mode (when running fullscreen) or
the window dimensions (when running in windowed mode).
-grabmouse Grab the mouse when running in windowed mode.
-height <y> Specify the screen height, in pixels.
-nograbmouse Don't grab the mouse when running in windowed mode.
-nomouse Disable the mouse.
-nonovert Enable vertical mouse movement.
-novert Disable vertical mouse movement.
-width <x> Specify the screen width, in pixels.
-window Run in a window.
=== Networking options ===
-altdeath Start a deathmatch 2.0 game. Weapons do not stay in
place and all items respawn after 30 seconds.
-autojoin Automatically search the local LAN for a multiplayer
server and join it.
-avg Austin Virtual Gaming: end levels after 20 minutes.
-connect <address> Connect to a multiplayer server running on the given
address.
-deathmatch Start a deathmatch game.
-dedicated Start a dedicated server, routing packets but not
participating in the game itself.
-dup <n> Reduce the resolution of the game by a factor of n,
reducing the amount of network bandwidth needed.
-extratics <n> Send n extra tics in every packet as insurance
against dropped packets.
-ignoreversion When running a netgame server, ignore version
mismatches between the server and the client. Using
this option may cause game desyncs to occur, or
differences in protocol may mean the netgame will
simply not function at all.
-left Run as the left screen in three screen mode.
-localsearch Search the local LAN for running servers.
-oldsync Use original game sync code.
-port <n> Use the specified UDP port for communications,
instead of the default (2342).
-privateserver When running a server, don't register with the
global master server. Implies -server.
-query <address> Query the status of the server running on the given
IP address.
-right Run as the right screen in three screen mode.
-search Query the Internet master server for a global list
of active servers.
-server Start a multiplayer server, listening for
connections.
-solo-net Start the game playing as though in a netgame with a
single player. This can also be used to play back
single player netgame demos.
-timer <n> For multiplayer games: exit each level after n
minutes.
=== Dehacked and WAD merging ===
-aa <files> Equivalent to "-af <files> -as <files>".
-af <files> Simulates the behavior of NWT's -af option, merging
flats into the main IWAD directory. Multiple files
may be specified.
-as <files> Simulates the behavior of NWT's -as option, merging
sprites into the main IWAD directory. Multiple files
may be specified.
-deh <files> Load the given dehacked patch(es)
-merge <files> Simulates the behavior of deutex's -merge option,
merging a PWAD into the main IWAD. Multiple files may
be specified.
-nocheats Ignore cheats in dehacked files.
-nwtmerge <files> Simulates the behavior of NWT's -merge option.
