Help with lr-prboom and ultimate doom, ect.

DavidDraper

Hello,

Setup:
RetroPie 4.7.1, updated a few weeks ago from a RetroPie 4.6 image install downloaded several months ago from Retropie.org.uk
RaspberryPi 4, 4 GB RAM
Raspberry Pi power supply
RetroFlag SNES style controller

I am trying to get Ultimate Doom, Final Doom and Doom II running from ports. I downloaded the full games from GOG last night and am using those files and lr-prboom, from the optional packages menu. I tried using the advice from the RetroPie Docs Doom page. When I do, the game launches, my spash screen for ports appears, but after a few seconds the game quits back to emulation station.

I did some searching and found this thread from 2016, and that advice worked. I did not see the splash screen, but the games launched using the scripts described there. Any advice on why the suggestions in the RetroPie Doc Doom page didn't work? I downloaded lr-prbboom about two weeks ago, so it shouldn't have had a major update since then. Thanks in advance.

David

For what it's worth, I was able to fix the issue. Pretty basic fix: uninstalled the lr-rpboom package from the retroarch config menu, restarted the system and then reinstalled it. Poof! Everything works fine now. Not sure how or why, but I'll take it. B-)
