psx doom with the ps1 mouse
i'm trying to unlock both psx's doom versions retroachievements, final doom supports the ps1 mouse and it's perfectly playable on an emulator with it, but the original psx doom doesn't.

is there a way to implement final doom's ps1 mouse support on the original psx doom?

To my knowledge (as well as checking the manuals for both PSX version of DOOM that I have), it didnt have mouse support. Mouse support only came with Final Doom and Quake 2 on the PSX in regards to ID games. Honestly, not alot of games supported the mouse to begin with. So it might take a hack/mod to get it to work on an emulator.

since both final doom and doom run on the same engine i thought it would have been plausible to do so

you would think so, but if they didnt program for the mouse at the start, it just wasnt going to work. They knew about the mouse with final doom and corrected course though.

so how DO you enable mouse, because for both PCSX rearmed and Beetle, when I change port 2 to mouse, I get absolutely no control with it

TBH Classic Doom is the only shooter game that I dont hate playing with controller since it doesnt have vertical look

It would take a mod or a hack, if one exists. If you really want to play PSX Doom with a mouse, the closest you are going to get is the mod for the PC version that makes it look and play closer to the PSX version. I play it regularly. I forget what the mod is called exactly, but if you google PSX Doom mod for PC, you will likely find it

To use a mouse as the controller, run your game and press 'F1' on keyboard. Navigate to 'Quick Menu> Controls> Port 2 Controls>' then click on 'Device Type' and select 'Mouse'

As I said, I've done this, and I get absolutely no input from my mouse

To be clear I'm talking about Final Doom, which supports the PSX mouse
