      @dodgydave First, you should try and update from source the lr-prboom package from RetroPie-Setup script.
      If that doesn't fix the problem, then you should copy the file inside the archive over the /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so file on the Pi system - you'll need to use SFTP to do that.

        Install from source didn't work for me last time I tried (Earlier in the week).

        Assuming your Pi is connected to the internet you could do this...

        Quit ES to get to the console or log in via SSH, then enter the following:-

        cd ~

        wget https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/2018-04-10_cores/prboom_libretro.so.zip

        unzip prboom_libretro.so.zip

        sudo cp prboom_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so

        Restart and away you go...

          I'm having the same issue on a new Pi 3 build running RetroPie 4.4.4. The link appears to be dead that was listed above. Anyone else know of a fix?

            @ckidwell Hi, I had the same issue but just went up a couple of branches and got it working using the :-

            https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/prboom_libretro.so.zip

            this fixed the weapon cycling but then it broke the right thumb stick on my Wi-U Pro controller, cant turn left or right, well I can but its unbelievably slow.

            I just gave up, everything works fine on my Rpi 3 with Retropie 4.3 I guess I'll have to wait until all the glitches have been ironed out, I'm encountering so many glitches with 4.4 on the 3b+ I can't be bothered at the moment.

            But its a bummer for my mate who's 3b+ this is though, no doom for him, for now...

            Good luck.

              @chewabledrapery You're the man! I recently bought the 8bitdo N30 Pro and the joysticks are working great and no more weapon cycling. I used to run a pi3 with a Wii U Pro controller and they are incredible also! Once the new Retroflag case with power and reset buttons came out I decided to build a new system and I can't believe how flawless PS1 is running as well. Doom was my last issue

                I am giving this file a shot but I don't have proper permissions to write to /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/ while tunneling in with WinSCP.

                I get Error Code: 3 Permission Denied.

                EDIT: I had to enable root login permissions and then it allowed me to make the changes. VERY nice to be able to figure this out without help. Small victories!! ;)

                Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!
                Enjoy the ride!

                  @classicgmr just dont login to root when you are in folders belonging to pi. Otherwise you can be giving root ownership of files instead of pi.

                    Just replacing:
                    wget https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armh/latest/prboom_libretro.so.zip

                    Fixed my problems.

                    & a quick

                    rm prboom_libretro.so.zip
                    rm prboom_libretro.so

                    deleted and tidied up things.

                    Thanks

                      This should be fixed if you update from binary or source.

                        I can confirm the problem on my side, honestly i thought there's issues with my controller.

                        EDIT: Fixed updatin from binary.
