   Discovery of arbitrary code execution hacks in vanilla DOOM games lead to the creation of ACE Engine.
   You can now customize classic DOS version of DOOM 2 with GZDoom-like levels of additional features, that all work just by loading a WAD file like any other.

   Check out the completely INSANE demo:

     Almost 30 years after the creation of DeHackEd its external installation procedure is now obsolete. Now you can have DeHackEd files embedded in a WAD file that loads the code changes at runtime! 🤯

     @Viss Do you appreciate all the Half-Life and Duke 3D LEVELS is also an appropriate question.

     @dosnostalgic This seems bad, actually?

     @a2_4am It's an option.

     @ianmclean Being able to load DeHackEd patches at runtime is probably its least impressive feature though. It is completely bonkers.

     @dosnostalgic Wow! Not sure of the utility of this these days with all the source ports we're swimming in that can load deh patches inside wads natively and most would prefer to use, but still, the technical feat of being able to do this is amazing!

     @anthk @keen456 "Current libre software port". My post was very specifically about vanilla Doom 2, as noted. Of course ports can do all this an more.

     @dosnostalgic Wow- that's amazing. I remember screwing around with DeHackEd years ago.

     @keen456 @dosnostalgic Current libre software port supported running DEH patches dinamically (think like CSS, not actually executing the code, but setting flags) since forever.
     ACS support it's bad, the code can be bad for people who want to share their PWADs anywhere with FreeDOOM for instance.
