| First, ''GetPlayerAccountName(0)'' is called. In Zandronum it returns a string (possibly empty string). In other ports it returns 0, because it's an unknown function. | First, ''GetPlayerAccountName(0)'' is called. In Zandronum it returns a string (possibly [[empty string]]).

| Second, existence of ''DynamicLight'' actor is checked by spawning and instantly destroying it. This actor is not present in ZDoom. If it spawns successfully, the port is GZDoom. | Second, existence of ''DynamicLight'' actor is checked by spawning and instantly destroying it. This actor is not present in ZDoom.
