The SNES port of Doom should have been an impossibility. Should.

Programmer Messages

Present at ROM address 0x80810E:

Rage/Reality Engine written by Randy Linden.
Special thanks to my loving wife, Jodi Harvey.

Also, the Episode 1 sky texture (stored as an uncompressed 8bpp graphic at 0x008000) contains an additional message that is not actually visible in game without somehow clipping outside of the boundaries of the map:

Unused Status Bar faces

To do: Graphics rips and descriptions.

At offset 0x704 in WRAM is the variable dictating the current status bar face. Correct values for this variable are multiples of 2 in the range of 00 - 38 (If I remember correctly 00 - 38 is the correct range, but it's been a long time since I discovered this and I just want to clear some things up).

Uncompiled Code

A small amount of uncompiled source code can be found in the data for several music tracks. This is only visible in SPC RAM after the data has been decompressed from ROM.
