<p><strong>dhewm3</strong> is a source port of the original Doom3 (<strong>not</strong> <em>Doom3 BFG</em>, for that you may want to try <a href="https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/">RBDoom3BFG</a>). It's known to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, <a href="https://freebsd.org">FreeBSD</a>, <a href="https://openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a> and <a href="http://www.aros.org/">AROS</a>, but it should work on (or be easily portable to) any system that supports OpenGL 1.4 with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARB_assembly_language">ARB shaders</a>, <a href="http://libsdl.org">SDL</a> and <a href="http://openal.org">OpenAL</a>.<br />
Compared to the original version of Doom3, dhewm3 has many bugfixes, supports EAX-like sound effects on all operating systems and hardware (via <a href="http://openal-soft.org/">OpenAL Softs</a> EFX support), has much better support for widescreen resolutions and has 64bit support.</p>
<p>It only supports <strong>old Mods</strong> if they <em>either</em> don't require their own game DLL <em>or</em> have been ported to dhewm3 - see the <a href="./mods.html">Mods page</a> for more information.</p>
<p>dhewm3 currently does not support the integrated (Windows-only) editors.<br />
Note that while the Doom3 source code has been released under GPL, you still need to legally own the game and provide dhewm3 the game data to play. See the <a href="#how-to-install">How to Install</a> section for more information.</p>

#### 2019-03-11: _A first prerelease of dhewm3 1.5.1_
There are no immediate plans for the final 1.5.1 release, but the current status might be interesting :-)

**Changes since 1.5.0:**
* The (Windows-only) integrated **editing tools** of Doom3 are back!
- They can only be built with non-Express versions of Visual Studio (tested Community Editions of
VS2013 and VS2017) and can be disabled via CMake
- The [dhewm3_1.5.1pre1_win32.zip available on Github](https://github.com/dhewm/dhewm3/releases/tag/1.5.1_PRE1)
has them enabled, of course
- While prior dhewm3 releases have been built with Visual Studio 2010, this is built with Visual Studio 2013,
