This new official release seems to have DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.DLS file in place of DOOMSND.SF2. Original Doom64EX generated DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2 file with soundfonts (I think it was for them at least). Well, there seems to be some major changes in engine and DOOM64.WAD too. But it depends on if it will mess up existing code. It may be possible to reverse engineer it to add compatibility to gzdoom.

So at least THAT source code is available. Originally posted by Zee Master:The engine itself isn't 1:1 with the older games and the source code for the N64 original, EX, and this port haven't and will likely never be released.Theres a github for Doom64EX by kaiser. Or just wait for people to use the Doom 64 map builder for EX to remake the new maps from this version. This would likely require yet another passion project along the lines of Doom 64 EX, an reverse-engineered engine recreation that would be able to read the specific data from this WAD. So many source ports for the original exist because John Carmack made the source code available in the 90s.

I'd like to see this iwad though being officially supported to work with doombuilder, however. Best guess is the Retribution dev (GZdoom port of D64) will look into porting the new maps into his own project along with continuing getting the other maps from the TC ported so you can have all the custom D64 goodies you all want with GZdoom options. I really don't see this being playable any time soon in any port if I were to be honest. I'm sure source port devs will look into making Doom 64 playable on their own port if they really wanted to, but I have a feeling the iwad is going to be very hard to work with to integrate into an existing port.
