* Music plays back differently.
The DOS music code was not in the Doom source release as Doom used
a proprietary sound library. The mus <-> mid conversion mostly
works well but some patches are different. By closer examination
of which MIDI instruments are used by doom.exe, it may be possible
to get a closer conversion.
Vanilla Doom was typically played with a SoundBlaster (or compatible)
card. It programmed the registers for the OPL music chip directly
in order to emulate the various General MIDI instruments. However,
Chocolate Doom uses the OS's native MIDI playback interfaces to play
MIDI sound. As the OPL is programmed differently, the music sounds
different to the original, even when using an original SoundBlaster
card.
This can be worked around in the future: OPL emulation code exists that
simulates an OPL chip in software. Furthermore, depending on the OS,
it may be possible to program the OPL directly in order to get the
same sound.
* A small number of Doom bugs are almost impossible to emulate.
