I think it's a bug - already reported to the lr-prboom project here.

It's not only RetroPie that changed over the years, but also prboom. There's now a core option for the FPS (I think the original Doom ran at 30 or 35FPS), check if yours is set to 60 FPS. Also, when opening a help topic, please add more info about your system and setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Well it seems to be working OK so I have no complaints. :-) Naturally, if you have a better way of doing this now we'd all love to see it! ;-) Thanks for the help. :-)

To anyone else who might come across this. I was able to fix this by updating the emulator from source. This added core options for different controller layouts and an adjustable analog deadzone.

@itsmedoofer said in lr-prboom weapons keep cycling: https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/83ycun/prboom_doom_on_retroarch_device_wont_stop_cycling/ I can confirm the problem on my side, honestly i thought there's issues with my controller. EDIT: Fixed updatin from binary.

@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?

@PiE81 Kind of unrelated and I did this a long time ago but here's how I got lr-quake working with a keyboard: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/1884/full-keyboard-support-for-libretro-tyrquake-quake/2

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
