Script for doom and generic wad file...help

chippettone

In the 4.0.1 version of retropie, it can not more to operate the full versions of doom and Doom2. I create the script but it is not listed. If it appears you do not start your wad. I only managed to change the script of doom demo and replace with final doom. I would like to create a working script for doom 2. Only problem is that retropie 4.0 different from version 3.2.1 where the script worked. I am a newbie and do not know how to create working scripts. Can you help me create scripts to start Doom2 and other wad? Thank you.

Do you need to install lr-prboom with the Setup Script?

I have already installed to boom and everything you need but in the port folder I have the script only to doom demo. Should I create two working scripts for final doom and doom 2. I do not know how to do.

The wiki for Doom describes how to create scripts for other doom wad files, like Final Doom or Doom II

@chippettone here is my Doom 2.sh. You can change the wad for other .sh files

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad" "lr-prboom"

after you create a .sh file you need to make it executable. so for doom 2 you would need to name the .sh to Doom2.sh then do this:

chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Doom2.sh

then when that is done you can change the .sh to Doom 2.sh
for final doom - evilution you would create a .sh named FinalDoom-Evilution.sh and add this:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/tnt.wad" "lr-prboom"

then you need to make it executable:

chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/FinalDoom-Evilution.sh

nowyou can rename the .sh to Final Doom - Evilution.sh
for final doom - the plutonia experiment you need to name the .sh FinalDoom-ThePlutoniaExperiment.sh and add this:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/plutonia.wad" "lr-prboom"

then you need to make it executable:

chmod +x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/FinalDoom-ThePlutoniaExperiment.sh

now you can rename it Final Doom - The Plutonia Experiment.sh

I tried several times to make the scripts but doom does not start. Retropie of 3.3 worked. From retropie 4 they do not start the scripts. The procedure is the same but does not start. Click on the item (eg Doom2) and remains black screen and returns to emulationstation. Only shareware doom works. In the shareware doom script there are not all these written. What can I do? I've already done the script as you said, but will not start. I also checked the permissions and access are the same and have enabled the script as a running program. I do not know what else to do ... you have any idea? Thanks for the help given so far.
