I've always wanted to get into doom speedrunning but I don't know where to start.

Pick a category you like. UV Speed or Max. Start trying to do those as fast as you can. Make a spreadsheet of your PBs. Get better and steal all the world records.

Starts by choosing a source port, you don't want dosbox... Review Resources and pick between something like PRBoom or Crispy Doom, Pick what runs you like as stated above, IL's or Full also.

Once more confident can start recording demos, example you would create a batch file that would house the source port, skill, level, record and name,

Where can I install crispy Doom?

Russia

https://dsdarchive.com/files/ports/85/crispy-doom-5.6.4-win32.zip download here, put whereever you want, then put doom.wad / doom2.wad or whichever ones you plan on playing there. Those you get in steam/gog and is the only part that's needed.

Is there a category for Episodes 1-4+Sigil?

Russia

I won't be creating categories that nobody runs. Last time I checked you needed zdoom or similar ports to be able to play all episodes from the menu, cause otherwise sigil replaces e3 in menu. Zdoom and similar ports are not accepted - hence there's no category. You still can run it if you want, but multi-episodic runs of UD is not something that is even considered a real run by community, as historically you couldn't record a demo that will contain all of them and be compatible with vanilla ports.

I was made a moderator for the Classic Doom's here on SRC, and there's going to be changes.

  1. All IL's/Episode run categories are going to be removed

This is because DSDA exists. There's no logical reason for I
