        @retrofreak89 this is precisely the 3000th post you've made about doom or some variant of it. It's getting spammy.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

            Hi. I've had a ton of problems with my Pi and various storage mediums and all that for quite a while now so I've not really touched anything having to do with the repo in some time. I'm not sure if everything's still working or not. I've gotten set back up with something far more stable and I'll be taking a run at the repo to see if everything still builds fine or not.

            If you're still having problems, let me know (or post a bug on my repo).

                I haven't tried yet. Just look at the command line options for prboom-plus and it should show you everything you need to know.

                        Send it my way and I'll integrate that into the scripts if I can.
