A port of LSDLDOOM to the AUS brand clones of the Pandora's Box Arcade Hardware

AUS JAPB Doom

It's Doom for the AUS clone of the Pandora's Box what elese did you expect?

Introduction

This is a port of LSDLDOOM by Jess Haas. It comes with the Shareware version of Doom.

It can also play Doom II, Ultimate Doom & Final Doom, just add the WAD files into the /games directory.

This was mostly done just to prove it could be done, and to get a better understanding of the Hardware so I could build something more interesting.

If there is genuine interest I could work on it some more, the load/save game does not currently work, and the button remapping is still a bit hit and miss.

Installation Instructions

you will need an 8Gb SD card, Class 10 is best not not essential. Download/unzip the latest release and burn/write it in the usual way.

Controls

The controls can be remapped (to a degree) but

Joy Stick - Movement

Button1 - Fire

Button2 - Strafe

Button3 - Run

Button4 - Use

P1 Start - Menu

Compatible Hardware

The AUS clone of the Pandora's Box is a very popular Jamma arcade board on sites like AliExpress. There are several different versions of the product re-packaged under different names.

It is often referred to as ‘Just another Pandora’s Box’, and sold under the names Pandora’s Box 3/4/4s/4X, King of Air, Heroes of the Storm 3 & Little Elf 3X. The number of built in Games will vary between 520 and 800, or more. If you are looking to purchase one look for a listing with the picture of the case and ensure it has the AUS logo on it. Check with the seller that is a ‘genuine AUS’ version.

The hardware is all fairly similar, however this version has only been tested as working on the 87 and the 92C version.
