      hey guys...

      my pc is currently dead :( andi dont have the money to fix it i was thinking tho what if i get a raspberry pi 4 just for time being to get my doom fix...
      now i have couple questions the regular games prob run just fine but what about megawads? for example stuff like alien vendetta,hell revealed etc.. eviternity etc..
      do they run well?
      also what ports does the pi 4 have?

      any one here also doom on the pi and can give me some info on this?

      or am i better off buying a xbox series s for 299 for the doom rereleases unity ports i heard it has addons section with megawads that bethesda keep on uploading too..

      but either way i cant spend more then 299 to get my doom fix and to rebuild my pc is gonna cost more then that so that is out of the question ,i did some couning and to fix my pc is gonna be at least 600-800 its basicly a entire new build that id have to do and im already poor as it is..

      so yeah pi 4 vs xbox series for doom megawads? let me know guys

        he guys ,

        my pc bit the dust and i dont have the money currently to fix it and all i played on it was doom wads from doomworld anyways i see here that doom works perfectly on the pi 4 with the LZDOOM,
        this is very exciting so got me thinking of filling up a sd card full of those wads and just make it a doom only project...

        has any one here done this?
        any doomers on the pi here?
        how does it run lol in terms of community made maps performance pretty good?

        id like to know before i even buy it ofcourse...
        hope to get some feedback

            @hexxur well power wise the series s is more power full then the pi4 so in theory it will run everything just fine.
            how about doing that i dont know.

            as for the pi4 there is more programming to get the correct files lined up to work, but i know people have gotten brutal doom to work

            for now thats all i got. im going to be working on getting mods for doom working on my pi, but thats somewhere on the long list of things im messing with

              @exarkuniv yeah true but the series s is even stronger then my old pc even but the thing is xbox doesnt have custom megawads it does but not many,and not the classics either like alien vandetta,ancient aliens,hell revealed ,scythe,etc..
