Doom The Way Pi Did [Doom-Ready Base Images for Raspberry Pi 0-5 + GPi]

@RapidEdwin08 I've had no trouble with Doom on Dos Box

RapidEdwin08

@phillip_benoit Sure,
But with WINE you can play Windows games like Duck Doom Deluxe, and probably miniDoom2.

phillip_benoit

@RapidEdwin08 Well, you'd have to install Win98 and you certainly wouldn't want to put that on an image you distribute. DOS does have thousands of shareware games, though. I've heard you can even set up IPX over TCP/IP and do network play. A lan party distro might be cool. Everyone bring their Pi, their screen, inputs, and an empty sd card.

dolphin +Vulkan
GZDoom 4.12.2 +Vulkan
DSDA-Doom
ROTT-Expr
pi-apps Installer: RetropieMenu -> Utilities -> GIT-pi-apps
WINE Ready ES System: Install WINE from pi-apps

~~Moved~~ Added QJoyPad from roms/wine to RetropieMenu -> Utilities -> QJoyPad

Issues worth noting:
Mouse Cursor Randomly/Repeatedly will Not appear when Opening QJoyPad from Emulationstation.
Better off going to Desktop to modify QJoyPad Mappings or be ready to pkill qjoypad via SSH.
Added a Workaround to get the Mouse Cursor to show every time that involves simply starting lxappearance before qjoypad.

@RapidEdwin08 Nice!
I have a question the OpenBor game loaded but doesn't seem toload, controller wise I also added another openbor game to see if it was a controller issue, I cant get any to load..ideas?
Openbor work on pi5 or no? Thanks

Retrodade

@RapidEdwin08 Question,
It appears that chromium may be installed? so it seems
but im not seeing any.sh or a way to launch it?

RapidEdwin08

@Retrodade OpenBOR seems to work for the most part, but I did have an issue with screen resolution, so I added an emulator entry for OpenBOR to use XINIT to overcome that.
Using XINIT for OpenBOR works for games I load, but it also results in a pink screen for the OpenBOR Main Menu, I never pursued this any further since the Games work.

If you are having issues with Controller in OpenBOR, the config files live here:

/opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/Saves/default.cfg
/opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/Saves/Ultra-Violence.bor.cfg

I don't think you can edit those OpenBOR cfg files, but you can delete them or rename them to wipe the controller settings.

Regarding Chromium, yes it's installed, along with Firefox and Dillo, and they are all accessible from any of the Desktop Environments.
I did not add any Browser sh scripts to Emulationstation and I don't really plan on it moving forward.

Updated Doom the Way Pi Did IMGs Released 20240814 (for rPi4/rPi5)

Changes worth noting:
Rebuilt using 2024-07-04-raspios-bookworm-arm64.img with Labwc (Lab Wayland Compositor).
RetroPie 4.8.8
Added lr-flycast-dev

Current Systems utilizing +Vulkan on DTWPID4/5:
GZDoom
Aethersx2
*dolphin/lr-dolphin
*lr-ppsspp
lr-flycast/lr-flycast-dev

These latest IMGs seem to be the most stable Bookworm64 Builds I've used so far on rPi4/rPi5.
I may try to Update the 0lder rPi3/0 IMGs to Bookworm32 now that Buster is officially out of LTS.
But the last time I tried I was still experiencing GPU Reset Issues...
