/etc/ folder goes at the root of the SD card. Everything else is set up fine.
It kicks you back to the home menu because you haven't put a game WAD in the PrBoom-Plus folder as well :P


Thanks a lot for the kind words! And sure thing, that was kinda foolish of me to forget, haha.
Ohh I took it literal when you said to only make sure one WAD file is placed in the PrBoom-Plus folder, and that's why I didn't move "prboom-plus.wad". Also while you're still here, does that xml shortcut basically let you run Doom 1 and 2 separately, but still through PrBoom+?

Ah, yeah I can see how that might've been confusing, lol. I'll be sure to change the wording of the instructions later on.
For the shortcuts, yeah they'll let you run all your doom engine games separately. Make a folder in /PrBoom-Plus/ called IWADs or something, then put the game WADs in there, and have the xml shortcut arguments point to them like in the posted examples.

I say to make a new folder cuz some weird stuff happens when more than 1 game WAD is put in the PrBoom-Plus folder, as if the engine is trying to load them all together, causing some wacky and corrupted looking graphics to occur.

This.
Is.
Amazing.

Thank you SO much for doing this you have absolutely made my week. Month. Possibly year!

Doom is my favourite game of all time and 3ds is my favourite console so this is just perfect. The 3d in particular is brilliantly done.

Again, thank you. You brought a happy tear to this old gamer's eye 🤣

This is more or less a straight port of PrBoom+ 2.6.66, with some extra added enhancements exclusive to the system.
Well done! I love a good Doom portas much as the next person, but a feature I have found lacking in any of the 3ds versions is using the second screen to display the map. I still use DS Doom because of this because It just makes the game feel more native to the system, even if the controls are closer to the gba version. Would it be possible for this to be a feature in this version?

Yeah, that's totally understandable. Having the mini-map on the bottom screen was something I had planned to add as well, but to be frank I was growing a little tired of working on the port by that point and wanted to focus on getting a release out so I could have a break to work on something else.
Hopefully I'll find some motivation again to look into that (and all the other feedback) at some point in the near future, we'll see.

Hi - no, if you want to play doom 1, make sure doom.wad is in the prboom directory (along with prboom.wad)
If you want to play doom 2, put doom2.wad in that directory instead - make sure doom.wad isn't in there as well though
I just move them about thru fbi

How do I get Fistful of Doom and Harmony running on Pr-Boom+ 3DS? I tried the parameters but it loads Doom 2. Maybe I put the Pwads in the pr-boom plus folder.

    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.
