      Fixed it, though I'm not sure what is going on... let me explain.

      If you look at my prboom.cfg file you will see this line for my pWAD file.

      wadfile_1 "SIGIL.wad"

      Now inside of PrBOOM it show the wad file as SIGIL.WAD"

      I used my controller and was able to delete the quote symbol off the end and now it works like it was supposed to. The odd thing though is that my prboom.cfg file looks exactly as it did before.

      What's that all about?

      @TigerMask Support for Sigil in lr-prboom was added on 1 June (see this post) so you will need to update lr-prboom from source.

      And oddly enough I am attempting to duplicate all of these steps on my Pi3 setup and I am back to where I began. Except now the WAD Header error has a lot more garbage at the end than ever before.

      EDIT: This only reflects the Run Command method.

      I use zdoom for all doom stuff. There is a wad that has a list that lets you choose which master levels wad you want to load. You just have to have all the wads in the same folder. Might work for lr-prboom too. Not sure.

      I assume your PI is in a case, if it hasn't a heatsink on the CPU fit a tiny one if you can as airflow on most cases is abmismal leading to heat build up internally, or failing that adapt your case by drilling a few holes directly above the CPU and fit a tiny fan that is easily powered from the GPIO pins so it only comes on when the PI is on

      I have a very tall heatsink and fan and my temps don't go above about 45c

      I made the heatsink by ordering a block of 35mm tall heatsink and cutting a piece out so that it just overlaps the CPU on all sides and used heatsink glue. Heatsink pads don't work for me, unless you pay a LOT of money for top quality ones. The heatsink glue is basically heatsink paste in epoxy resin so once fitted your heatsink is never coming off unless you take the CPU with it. Also they take about 24 hours to set fully as its expoxy. It works perfectly though

      @retrofreak89 most of my games are setup to switch between normal, brutal zdoom and now the brutality project. Games like hexen and heretic plus a few others cant use the brutal mods.

      I see no menu options for Doom cheats or any way to access the console. It seems that the keyboard is disabled with the controller mapping. Google brings me here first, so old thread or not, someone should post a solution, no?

      @edmaul69 said in Does the Doom Metal Mod work with PRBOOM?:

      @dinierto are you try to use tyrquake or lr-tyrquake. I have lr-tyrquake running.

      Trying to use lr-tyrquake with no luck. I can get Dark Places working but I want the libretro core and controller support.

      @jcook84 yeah i wish i could have scanlines :( but i have too many mods working in zdoom. And several are for zdoom only. It sucks the pi isnt fast enough for "winter'fury" i had to make the screen really really tiny for parts of level 1. And there is so much lag level 2 is not playable.

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

      @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 :-)

      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?

      @Concat i tried adding the keyboard which is something you can do but no response. Prboom appears to lock out the keyboard as a keyboard. (Still works as player 1 simultaneously with the controller)
