Cannot figure out how to launch Doom PWADs from PrBoom

otterjones

I've spent a fair amount of time trying to figure it out. I've read several posts here, as well as the documentation. But I can't get Doom - Sigil, Doom 2 - No Rest for the Living, Lost Episodes of Doom, Hell to Pay, or Perdition's Gate to launch. I have the correct files. I can launch Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom - The Plutonia Experiment, Final Doom - TNT - Evilution, Freedoom - Phase 1, and Freedoom - Phase 2. I'm sure I'm over looking something, but if someone could give me some ideas or pointers, I can take another look at my stuff tomorrow after work, and can report back on any questions on my setup. Thanks to anyone that can help.

@otterjones are you sure prboom supports those wads?

@quicksilver I have all those running in lr-prboom. @otterjones I do remember some of them gave me some trouble. I'll have a look at my configs and see if something looks different.

@otterjones I think it came down to the DOOM.WAD/DOOM2.WAD file versions I was using with them.

Here's what I've ended up with:

Doom 1 (vanilla): Ultimate Doom, The
Doom 1 (mods): Doom (v1.9)
Doom 2 (mods and vanilla): Doom II - Hell on Earth (v1.9)

If that's not enough to sort it out let me know, and I'll dig a bit deeper.

@sleve_mcdichael I'll check that when I get home. I know I used the WADs from the Steam version of Ultimate Doom and Doom II.

Hi,
I had problems, but mainly down to directory structure.
I've attached an image of my ports folder.

You'll also need to edit the shell files for each game type e.g.
doom2 would be:
#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT "doom" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2/doom2.wad"

Plutonia Experiment would be:
#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 PORT "doom" "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/final-doom-plutonia-experiment/plutonia.wad"
