Doom Legacy - Doom Split-screen Source port
-
Just telling you guys that Doom Legacy v1.48 was released a few days ago. In that version, most changes from the patch I provided above are already included by default, so simply compile it from source and run the binary and everything should work just fine.
@tpo1990 Can you update your scriptmodules with the latest version, and see if it's working on your end?
-
I have completely missed this. Thank you!
-
@Solid-One Thank you for the good news. I will soon update my scriptmodule to the latest Doom Legacy v1.48 and release it.
-
The Doom Legacy scriptmodule has now been updated to include the latest Doom Legacy 1.48.4 version. The scriptmodule has been improved and ingame music has been fixed by adding missing fluidsynth as a needed dependency. The latest Doom Legacy 1.48.4 adds several fixes to the port such as better control of coop and multiplayer. bot menu selection and gamepad support.
The updated scriptmodule has been tested on my RPI 3B RetroPie 4.6.1 (buster) and it runs great both singleplayer, 2 player and with bots in multiplayer.
I recommend these video settings after installing the latest version as the game runs best with those.
Drawing options:32bit
Resolution:1280x960Download the scriptmodule again from the download link to replace it in your RetroPie-setup. You might have to reinstall Doom Legacy or update it.
I haven't tested it yet on the latest RetroPie on a RPI 4B with buster. Let me know how it works out for some of you that have one.

Thanks for the update. Good to know everything is working!

I'm curious: Music wasn't working in DL on your end, and you solved it by adding fluidsynth? AFAIK, DL works fine if you have timidity & freepats installed on your device through apt-get, and I guess music on DL uses only timidity and not fluidsynth (although I may be mistaken here). Does music worked fine through DL on fluidsynth?

Hi im fairly new to the Linux and the rpi and don't understand the build process of the doom legacy application can you please explain to me how you compile it. Sorry if I sound like a big noob @tpo1990 @Solid-One
-
@ish Did you look at the very first post? There are step by step instructions there. What specifically about the instructions dont you understand?
-
@quicksilver i typed the script module into the terminal on retropie installed it through the experimental section in the setup and installed it tried to open doom. I opened it got a black screen then it sent me back to the emulation station menu
-
@ish after building using the latest script I am having the same issue (on my Pi 4)
Executing: DOOMWADDIR=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom /opt/retropie/ports/doomlegacy/bin/doomlegacy -iwad "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom.wad" /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1255: /opt/retropie/ports/doomlegacy/bin/doomlegacy: No such file or directoryAfter installing I am getting the above error message. I double checked and the
/opt/retropie/ports/doomlegacy/bin/doomlegacydirectory doesnt exist. Any idea what might be happening here? -
@quicksilver Look in the install log and check if the binary was built.
-
@quicksilver could I use the previous script if its still available some how
-
@mitu Yep doesnt look like its building correctly
-
@quicksilver Not really

"Not really" in the sense that I am correct, its not building correctly? Or "not really" its something else? :D
Im not really sure what im looking at in the log file.

Yes, it's not really building correctly.

@Solid-One I reinstalled the latest RetroPie 4.6.1 (buster) on my Raspberry Pi 3B and the older version of Doom Legacy did not include music only sound even though I did get Timidity and Freepats installed.
I then tried several times and found out that Doom Legacy does support fluidsynth, so I installed fluidsynth with apt-get and tried again with Doom Legacy. This time it worked. So apparently I am not sure if the release of Buster has anything to do with it. The only thing I can say is that it now works as it should. I have ditched Timidity and Freepats and replaced it with fluidsynth instead. It works just better.
@quicksilver What Raspberry Pi are you using and is it the latest official RetroPie?
Have you tried running the scriptmodule again to see if it will build the binary?@mitu I noticed that the binary was not built after I replaced the older Doom Legacy 1.47.2 out with the latest version 1.48.4 and run the scriptmodule at the first time. I then tried again at running the scriptmodule and the binary was successfully built. It works on the latest official RetroPie 4.6.1 (buster) on a Raspberry Pi 3B.

@tpo1990 so if I reinstall it and fluid synth it should work?

Yes if you want the previous version of the scriptmodule that is Doom Legacy 1.47.2 you can get it here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tpo1990/DoomLegacy-RPI/9c6bded56e818922ae91b5fe7530e6649c7ec6a4/doomlegacy.sh -
@ish Yes how ever if it still does not work with music ingame, then uninstall Doom Legacy and reinstall it from the scriptmodule.
For a fresh installation if you already have Doom Legacy from an previous version of the scriptmodule:
- First use the existing Doom Legacy scriptmodule in RetroPie-setup to uninstall Doom Legacy.
- Then use the download link from the RetroPie page to download the latest version of the scriptmodule.
- Finally use RetroPie-setup and go into the experimental section to install Doom Legacy again.
If you want to make sure that there is nothing left out before reinstalling, then delete the following files and folders:
In/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/delete all the doom.sh files.
In/opt/retropie/configs/delete the doom folder to delete config files. -
@tpo1990 i did what you said and it worked but the image is small and in the corner of the display
