hey, i only recommend using this if your browser is really old or your network speed is seriously slow. otherwise, consider /old/, or /new/.
in this post (and maybe multiple posts after this), i will be attempting to run doom, without modding. let's dive in!
my first thought when creating this blog post was wiidoom (wiki page and picture below)

after realizing this, i was honestly a bit stumped. i was aware that there was versions of doom on the web, but they required a keyboard. i also was aware that you could plug one in via the usb port, but what's the fun in that? i want to use the gamepad!
now, my second thought was a website. as stated before, i know i could use a keyboard, but that's boring. plus, i also realized the wiiu probably is too old/too underpowered to run these websites anyways. after a bit of googling, i confirmed that this was indeed true: browser doom was a gray screen. the first result, the playclassic.games website, didn't even load. (this happened to most of the doom online websites, i guess the browser doom website was just a bit of luck) this gave me practically no choice but to make my own website. i am still aware this entire thing is just for fun, but when i start something, i will do my best to finish it, if possible-and i'm pretty sure this is possible.
i made this site. it is based on js-dos, which seemed to be a bit friendlier to older devices like the wiiu, however, it turned out it still didn't work. i gave up. i apologize if this ending is disappointing (since i didn't get doom running nor did i get it to use the gamepad), but i tried my best. i believe there may be a version of doom out there for modded wiius, but i wasn't able to make a version for unmodded ones. anyways, tune in to the cheeseblog tomorrow for a new post. cya!
