      @edmaul69 yes please do so...
      go to the part when you first reach outside then Just a bit ahead you will face these bunch of monsters and a couple large ones outside on this upper platform it will lag like crazy.??
      If you can just play the first whole level and let me know how it went

            @retrofreak89 yeah the two cannon guys starting at 7 minutes wasnt an issue. What difficulty are you on? Default was in the middle somewhere. I chose the difficulty it was selected on when you start a new game.

              Well damn...
              Because that part with all the monsters lags bad
              And i also have it default when i play Valiant i dont change any diffeculty..

              Now in rly wondering why its running such crap can you check what fps u get at that spot?? Ill check the same..

                this version: https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/valiant
                I'm playing it on Zdoom, the Prboom test was just a tangent.
                At 640x480 I get dips into the teens at that rough part in the video (while spamming rockets) It's just a bad spot with lots of enemies spawning in and a long/complex render distance behind them. At 320x240 it dips into mid 20's at the problem spot. (stock clock and memsplit w/ fan)

                @Brigane
                I'm doing it the way the wiki suggests:
                https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Doom#how-to-launch-doom-iwads-and-mods-pwads-from-emulationstation-using-zdoom

                  @jcook84 yeah if that date is correct i am definitely using that one. I am playing at 1024x768. I got a few dips in the teens today but i didnt experience any noticeable lag as they didnt last long enough to see slowdown.

                        @retrofreak89 no. Pr-boom plays doom games only.

                          @jcook84 Well.. The wiki suggest many different things depending on which iwads are used. Would you mind pasting the script here.
                          I got the other iwads working except valiant.wad
                          Thanks

                                  @brigane if you put doom2.wad and Valiant.wad (notice valiant has a capitol V as caps and lowercase have to match) in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/ , then this would be the emulators.cfg for valiant

                                  default = "zdoom"
                                  zdoom = "/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/Valiant.wad"

                                      Thanks, It runs quite well on my end, at least the first couple of minutes I've been trying it. I'm using an overclocked Raspberry Pi 2.

                                      Edit: Now I also got trailblazer running. It's running pretty smooth imo

                                        Thought I'd would let you know I manage to setup Brutal Wolfenstein 3D as well by using the same method.

                                            I'm not quite sure how I show fps in-game. But please fill me in, if you do.

                                            This is how I got trailblazer working.

                                            this is my config in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/trailblazer/emulators.cfg

                                            zdoom = "/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom +set fullscreen 1 -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad -file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/trailblazer/trailblazer.pk3"`
                                            default="zdoom"
                                            

                                            This is where I placed my wad file /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/trailblazer/trailblazer.pk3

                                            My trailblazer.sh script to launch the game looks like this

                                            #!/bin/bash
                                            "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "trailblazer" ""
