@CubeSteak said in Doom Help 2024:

What do the permissions need to be for it to work and how do you modify them?

If you copy as you do for the other ROMs, permissions shouldn't be a problem. See our docs for transferring ROMs.

Since it is accessed through the Doom II script and game, is the script I put in for that particular WAD useless and can be deleted?

Yes.

@vic-viper-001 Well, now I feel like a complete moron. All I needed to do was re-install LzDoom, and overwrite the new lzdoom.ini with my old one.
Everything works again like it's supposed to.

[libretro ERROR] retro_load_game: couldn't read WAD header from '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2/DOOM2.WAD' [INFO] [Environ]: SET_MESSAGE: ROM loading failed... [ERROR] Failed to load content

Looks like it doesn't like your WAD. Try using another source. I've found one that works; I can't tell you where to get it but I can probably get away with sharing the crc32 and md5sum to help you determine if you've found the right one:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2 $ crc32 DOOM2.WAD ec8725db pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2 $ md5sum DOOM2.WAD 25e1459ca71d321525f84628f45ca8cd DOOM2.WAD

@saku00 Well, the addition is now part of RetroPie, so you don't have to edit the file again if you update Dolphin.

@nans1906 thanks man, yeah i already got it working ;)

@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.

@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"

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

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
