@mitu I had downloaded them directly for free from aubry hodges (the composer) website when i got them. Now it appears he charges $12 for the psx doom soundtrack and $18 for the doom 64 soundtrack. He has 20 different soundtracks available on his site for various games he composed music for.

@SpacedInvader yup. But for others who come searching for an answer i would alter the title from "ports not working properly" to "doom ports not working properly"

@Acrylikhan installed Ultimate doom on PC using DosBox to extract wad file. Everything works great... all is correct in this tiny universe here.

@BuZz , well I did not succeed installing lr-prboom or zdoom using the retropie-setup. Debugging was a bit hard, because I could not see the error message: after failure the retropie-setup reappears. So I suppose the error in the retropie-setup was the same as in my first command line attempt.
Are there any known issues regarding the install of these ports via retropie-setup anyway?

I just tried doing this after I found it and still nothing any suggestions?

Nevermind.

@edmaul69

good to know

This worked for me too, but not under the DoomZ emulator for some reason. Anytime I have axis (5? I think) on, my character rotates left. But, the other emulator works great with this so I think I'm good to go.

Any way to get the classic doom music going in this game?

@PiE81
Kind of unrelated and I did this a long time ago but here's how I got lr-quake working with a keyboard:

its working! Thanks

Chex quest can be loaded as a pWAD. For the DEH use the -deh load command.

Freedoom 0.11 was released on 2017-02-16

I have updated the wiki
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Doom#how-to-setup-freedoom

Not sure how it get updated to the new Docs @herb_fargus ;-)

@mahcneto
I think for the music to work with the custom WAD fdoom, you'd need to also have a copy of the music in ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/fdoom.
You should be able to make symbolic links to the MP3 (so you don't have to copy them to your custom WAD directory which will save space).

Try something like this:
ln -s ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/*.mp3 ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/fdoom/

Let me know if this works because I am theorizing :-)

Thanks @dudleydes
I updated my original post to say "PWAD" instead of "IWAD" so I didn't look like an idiot haha

I think the wiki page is out dated because it refers to /opt/retropie/configs/doom/ when mine actually has /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/ instead. Maybe someone should update that :-)

Here's what I did (hopefully no typos):

mkdir ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep
unzip class_ep.zip -d ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep
ln -s ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/prboom.wad ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep/prboom.wad
ln -s ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom.wad ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep/doom.wad
cp ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/prboom.cfg ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep/
nano ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep/prboom.cfg

# Files wadfile_1 "Class_Ep.wad"

nano ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/The\ Classic\ Episode.sh

#!/bin/bash /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/class_ep/doom.wad" "lr-prboom"

chmod +x ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/The\ Classic\ Episode.sh

Then I restarted EmulationStation
Ports -> The Classic Episode -> New Game -> The Shores of Hell

Oh, so you mean we have to wait for a PrBoom update and it is not that i'm messing around with the worng files/options?

By the way, I didn't know that PrBoom Plus existed at all, suppousedly it can load .pk3 mods just like ZDoom does, I don't know if it's compatible with Brutal Doom and the likes? Wonder if it would be too hard to port to work with the Pi3?
