Features:
  • hardware accelerated rendering;
  • sound and music;
  • analog controls;
  • all other features of Doom 64 EX probably work (except network games).

To install and run the game, follow these steps:
  1. Obtain a Doom 64 ROM in either n64, z64 or v64 format. I think region and version do not matter, as long as the ROM is unmodified.
  2. Extract the wadgen folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to somewhere on your PC.
  3. Run wadgen/WadGen.exe and point it to your Doom 64 ROM. This should generate two files inside the wadgen folder: DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2.
  4. Extract the switch folder from doom64ex_nx_v010.zip to the root of your SD card.
  5. Copy DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2 you got in step 3 to /switch/doom64ex/ on your SD card.
If you already have Doom 64 EX installed on your PC or something, you can just do steps 4 and 5 right away, using the files from your existing installation.


Some notes:
  • sometimes the music skips a little bit and/or channels go out of sync for a moment, this is most noticeable in the intro;
  • as usual, if you have exFAT, better quit the game using the "Quit Game" option in the menu instead of just killing hbmenu;
  • I have only tested this on a US v1.1 Z64 ROM, not sure if every ROM out there works, but most should.

Credits:
  • Samuel Villarreal (svkaiser) and others for Doom 64 EX;
  • fincs, Armada651, Subv and probably others for their work on the OpenGL/mesa/libdrm stuff;
  • Midway Games and Nintendo for Doom 64;
  • id Software for Doom.

Holy shit!
I gotta keep a eye out for everything you do, fgsfds, you just make dreams come true! XD
With all of the ports you've been doing lately, I will be able to experience the Holy Trinity of FPS games on my Switch!
Everything from Quake to Doom, damn I love those games and I'll be thrilled to play them again on the Switch thanks to you!

User MVG who ported Chocolate Doom said he was going to get Heretic and Hexen builds working too but that was 2 months ago and no news since.

Sadly, this has absolutely nothing to do with N64 emulation and does not mean that we're able to port any N64 game like this.
Doom 64 EX is a PC remake of Doom 64, which was basically reverse-engineered from the original game by Kaiser and designed to be as close to the original as possible.
As far as I know, there's no such thing for Perfect Dark or GoldenEye or other N64 shooters (except Turok).

Hey that's sick!!! Thank you bro. Could you port Megaman vs Metroid? It's a old and simple game that I love too much.

Thank you!! Keeping an eye on your work!!!

Finally a console got a port of this, and a Nintendo one at that! Was waiting forever for that to happen. This was to be released for the NDS, but for what ever reason, it never happened.

If anything, this is reason alone to hack the switch. Sincerely a great game, despite some of the bad choices in enemy design.

Amazing stuff!

By the way, any plans to port Chocolate Doom? I know there are already a few Doom ports for the Switch but they all have quite significant flaws. Your Vita port is still the best way to play it.

I asked to @MVG for filter and OGG support here. Hope he considers it.
