The author says the effort took about a year and a half, with the whole process restarted from June, and it is currently compatible with the USA version. It can be built for N64, and a separate iQue build is described.
How it differs from the original
The README lists features in this version: security keys, wall blocking, lock monsters and a music test that were locked in the original game, plus new colours, full bright and filter toggles.
Getting started
You need the N64 SDK and, to compile, Windows XP (a virtual machine works), then copy the project folder to the C drive. You also need the original game data files (DOOM64.WAD, WMD, WSD, WDD), extracted from your own z64-format ROM with the included extractor and copied into the Data folder. Running the make-ROM script produces a file named doom64.n64. The iQue build uses the iQue SDK and Red Hat Linux 9.

Additional notes

- You can optionally use the WESSLIB.o from the original Mortal Kombat Trilogy N64 instead of the rebuilt sound code, by editing a header and the Makefile.
