      I heard while back that prboom plus works on the pi..
      But all i can find is the old prboom version on Retropie but where and how do i even get the plus version?
      Ive been trying to figure this out for weeks and im just stuck now lol
      Its on raspbian if you Google it youll see it right there but how do i even get it to work tho and does it work on Retropie instead of raspbian?
      Anyone can shine some light on this on what to do?
      Would greatly be appreciate it heh

        @retrofreak89 RetroPie is not a standalone OS, it's actually a Raspbian distro with the added configuration and management tools
        If Raspbian already includes a PrBoom+ package, then you can just install it via aptitude and apt-get and use it as. The name of the package is prboom-plus, but since it uses X11 and OpenGL, you'll have to start a X11 session or the Pixel desktop environment first.

          i dont know want version but it is @zerojay said in RetroPie-Extra Repository:

          Okay, so after a long absence and various issues with SD cards killing themselves relatively quickly, I'm back and I've been putting in a lot of work the last few days.

                  Maybe @zerojay can help us with this. I'm also quite interesting in Proboom Plus if it is doable on the Pi.
                  I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between PrBoom and PrBoom Plus.

                  Systems: Raspberry Pi 0/2/3 Model B+
                  Os: RetroPie 4.5
                  Frontend: Emulationstation & Attract Mode
