COMPATIBILITY
     -donut x y
	    Use the specified magic values when  emulating  behavior  caused  by
	    memory  overruns from 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 run-
	    ning under Windows 98.

     -gameversion version
	    Emulate a specific version of Doom. Valid values are  "1.2",  "1.5",
	    "1.666",  "1.7", "1.8", "1.9", "ultimate", "final", "final2", "hacx"
	    and "chex".

     -pack pack
	    Explicitly specify a Doom II "mission pack" to run	as,  instead  of
	    detecting it based on the filename. Valid values are: "doom2", "tnt"
	    and "plutonia".

     -setmem version
	    Specify  DOS  version to emulate for NULL pointer dereference emula-
	    tion.  Supported versions are: dos622, dos71, dosbox. The default is
	    to emulate DOS 7.1 (Windows 98).

     -spechit n
	    Use the specified magic value when emulating spechit overruns.

     -statdump filename
	    Dump statistics information to the specified file on the levels that
	    were played. The output from this option  matches  the  output  from
	    statdump.exe (see ctrlapi.zip in the /idgames archive).

OBSCURE AND LESS-USED OPTIONS
     -cdrom
	    [windows only] Save configuration data and savegames in c:\doomdata,
	    allowing play from CD.

     -dumpsubstconfig file
	    Read all MIDI files from loaded WAD files, dump an example substitu-
	    tion music config file to the specified file, and quit.

     -mb mb
	    Specify the heap size, in MiB.

     -mmap  Use the OS's virtual memory subsystem to map WAD files directly into
	    memory.

     -nogui
	    If	specified,  don't  show a GUI window for error messages when the
	    game exits with an error.

IWAD SEARCH PATHS
     To play, an IWAD file is needed.  This is a large file  containing  all  of
     the  levels, graphics, sound effects, music and other material that make up
     the game.	IWAD files are named according to the game; the  standard  names
     are:

     doom.wad, doom1.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad
	    Doom, Doom II, Final Doom

     heretic.wad, hexen.wad, strife.wad
	    Heretic, Hexen and Strife (commercial Doom engine games).

     hacx.wad, chex.wad
	    Hacx and Chex Quest - more obscure games based on the Doom engine.

     freedm.wad, freedoom1.wad, freedoom2.wad
	    The Freedoom open content IWAD files.

     The following directory paths are searched in order to find an IWAD:

     Current working directory
	    Any  IWAD  files found in the current working directory will be used
	    in preference to IWADs found in any other directories.

     DOOMWADDIR
	    This environment variable can be set to contain a path to  a  single
	    directory  in  which to look for IWAD files.  This environment vari-
	    able is supported by most Doom source ports.

     DOOMWADPATH
	    This environment variable, if set,	can  contain  a  colon-separated
	    list  of  directories  in  which to look for IWAD files, or alterna-
	    tively full paths to specific IWAD files.

     $HOME/.local/share/games/doom
	    Writeable directory in the user's home directory.  The path  can  be
	    overridden using the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable (see the XDG
	    Base Directory Specification).

     /usr/local/share/doom
     /usr/local/share/games/doom
     /usr/share/doom
     /usr/share/games/doom
	    System-wide  locations  that can be accessed by all users.	The path
	    /usr/share/games/doom is a standard path that is supported	by  most
	    Doom  source  ports.   These  paths  can  be  overridden  using  the
	    XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable (see the XDG Base Directory Spec-
	    ification).

     The above can be overridden on a one-time basis by using the -iwad  command
     line  parameter  to  provide the path to an IWAD file to use.This parameter
     can also be used to specify the name of a particular IWAD to use  from  one
     of  the  above  paths.  For example, "-iwad doom.wad" will search the above
     paths for the file doom.wad to use.

ENVIRONMENT
     This section describes environment variables that control Crispy Doom's be-
     havior.

     DOOMWADDIR
     DOOMWADPATH
	    See section "IWAD SEARCH PATHS" above.

     PCSOUND_DRIVER
	    When running in PC speaker sound effect mode, this environment vari-
	    able specifies a PC speaker driver to use for sound effect playback.
	    Valid options are "Linux" for the Linux console mode  driver,  "BSD"
	    for  the  NetBSD/OpenBSD  PC speaker driver, and "SDL" for SDL-based
	    emulated PC speaker playback (using the digital output).

     OPL_DRIVER
	    When using OPL MIDI playback, this environment variable specifies an
	    OPL backend driver to use.	Valid options are "SDL" for an SDL-based
	    software emulated OPL chip, "Linux" for the Linux hardware OPL  dri-
	    ver, and "OpenBSD" for the OpenBSD/NetBSD hardware OPL driver.

	    Generally  speaking,  a  real  hardware  OPL chip sounds better than
	    software emulation; however, modern machines do  not  often  include
	    one.  If present, it may still require extra work to set up and ele-
	    vated security privileges to access.

FILES
     $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/default.cfg
	    The main configuration file for Crispy Doom.  See default.cfg(5).

     $HOME/.local/share/crispy-doom/crispy-doom.cfg
	    Extra  configuration values that are specific to Crispy Doom and not
	    present in Vanilla Doom.  See crispy-doom.cfg(5).
