Can't get Brutal Doom to work

[DUBlajes]

Hi all. I just bought a Rasp. Pi 3B+. I wanted to install Brutal Doom, so I've followed every single step of this video

The problem is that I've tried many times but the result is the same: it just starts normal Doom or Doom 2. Can someone help me or send me a link to a step by step tutorial?

Thanks

[DUBlajes]

I was wondering if I had to make any changes to the emulator.cfg file...

@DUBlajes

This is the way i used to get it to work. Maybe you can get it working as well. I must warn you that this is a long time ago since i last tried Brutal Doom with Zdoom on my RetroPie.

Go to opt/retropie/configs/ports folder and create a new folder called brutaldoom.
Copy the emulators.cfg file and the zdoom.ini file from the doom folder in the opt/retropie/configs/doom to the brutaldoom config folder. (Notice this might need sudo command in terminal)

Paste this into the new zdoom.ini file in the brutaldoom config folder so that it will replace the original text.
