This is a WIN32 port of Boom source port, capable of OpenGL rendering and hi-res textures. This one doesn't have any additional visual enchancements (any lightning effects, particle systems etc) like the other ports, but it produces an accurate picture and is compatible with many of the modern fan-made maps, requiring the extended functionality of game engine

Project links:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/prboom/

Installation instructions:

Unpack the port files to the original game's directory ('d:\games\doom' in my case)
Start the 'glboom.exe' to run PrBoom with OpenGL support. If you want to have a custom video resolution, then you can change it using the command promt parameters:

You can also modify these parameters in 'glboom.cfg' file using any text editor. Remember, that this file is automatically created after the first run.
Open 'Options'->'General' and proceed to the last page of this menu. Select 'Rounded' for all the filtering settings (where available) and 'Sloppy' for all drawing settings. Although I didn't notice any effect of changing this settings, I recommend you to try it on your hardware.
Open 'Options'->'Setup'->'Key Mappings' and set up your keyboard settings.

Everyone should use PrBoom+ now instead. http://prboom-pus.sf.net/ It's the fastest OpenGL port. Comes with software renderer too. Best port for watching demos.
