Turns out the Doom2.wad file I downloaded was an old version (not 1.9 version), so I tracked down the iwad patcher v1.1 and patched it from v1.666 to 1.9 - put the wad file in the folder, burned etc and works a treat!!!
Thanks for the help!!
going to try it at 240mhz in a minute
Since I have this thread linked from the Wiki, I just thought discussing downloading any full version of Doom isn't allowed. The games were never made freeware. That's why Law56ker didn't include them to begin with.
There's also the FreeDoom collection from here -> FreeDoom
It's a project to clone the functionality of the commercial Doom I-II wads, so you can use Doom I-II mods without owning the original games. I've tested a handful of mods with Freedoom, and have had mixed results with NxDoom. Quite a few do work though.

Hi, I'm having this same problem. I downloaded this collection for the Army of Darkness mod, but the game only plays as a single silent audio track. There is no data whatsoever as far as gaming goes, and when I try to boot it, it loops back to the start menu of the Dreamcast. Can someone PLEASE help with this, I've wasted 33 discs on this today and it's getting ridiculous. What's causing this problem? Please help! I can't afford to waste any more discs on something I can't see working.

Are you able to boot anything else up with a CD-R on your Dreamcast?
