HELP WITH IMPORTING DOOM
-
ok so i did what you said but when i go to launch it it says
sh: 1: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom2.sh: not found
-
@TheDevastator24 see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first for proper code block formatting
-
@herb_fargus thanks
-
I think I might know what might have happened, but let's see. Drop back to the command line (f4) and type:
ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/
Press enter and look for anything with a similar name to "
doom2.sh
" and report it here. -
@mediamogul ok will see
-
@mediamogul ok so i see
doom2.sh
on the terminal. (it sucks that i can only post every 120 seconds so my replies may be a little late) -
When you look, are you sure there are no variances to the name "
doom2.sh
"? No extra characters? Are there any possible differences in upper or lower case? -
@mediamogul nope no other variances or upper/lowercase letters in
doom2.sh
-
@mediamogul I dont know if this helps but i can play the doom shareware that came pre-installed with retropie
-
OK, the fact that launching
doom2.sh
throws up an error that says it can't finddoom2.sh
is odd, so let's drop to the command line and type:nano /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom2.sh
near the very end, right before
"lr-prboom"
, make sure it reads "doom2.wad
" and not "doom2.sh
". -
@mediamogul ya it says
doom2.wad
-
@mediamogul maybe you can send me over your files for ultimate doom and i can try that
-
I'm going to try breaking my installation in a few different ways to see if I can replicate this. In the mean time, if anyone else sees an error unnoticed so far, feel free to chime in.
-
@mediamogul i can run the games on ports that were pre-installed. idk if that helps
-

Well, it tells us that we haven't broken any of the furniture that was already there. ;)
-
@mediamogul do you think i should just reinstall retropie and try from a fresh retropie install
-
At worst we'll start you over from this process. There's o need for a full reinstall.
-
@mediamogul ok
-
Well, I could not reproduce that error. Where and when exactly does it appear?
Another couple of things to check are:
- Check to make sure "
doom2.wad
" is located in/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/
? - Check for any upper or lower case mistakes in file names, as well as possible spaces
- Check that every character is exactly as it is written in the example above.
Any discrepancies with these elements will prohibit the game from launching.
- Check to make sure "
-
@mediamogul ok so what im going to do is just write the disk image off my sd card and send you the file you just have to write it to a empty sd card. im gonna try doing it from a fresh new boot of retropie. and yes the doom wads are in the correct place
