      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" ""

                                    @brigane he has valiant working. He was asking about trailblazer. I havent tried installing it yet so i cant help him there.

                                        @brigane yeah trailblazer i cannot get it to work...
                                        And i heard good things about it..
                                        Also to show fps press the ~ on keyboard to open console and typ vid_showfps true ..
                                        this will then show you the fps top right side of your screen
                                        Oh if vid_showfps true doesnt work try vid_fps true.
                                        Because i forgot which one it was

                                          I've updated my post above with the correct info regarding trailblazer. About the fps I can tell you that I run around 28-35 fps through the game with less explosive guns like the handgun, shotgun and machine gun.
                                          After picking up the rocket launcher I got some frame drops sadly. Overall I still think this is more than playable.
                                          Keep in mind though that I'm running RPi 2 so RPi 3 might run this better.

                                            Im wondering since u got trailblazer to run do you think you can get Russian Overkill to run as wel?
