Cool, would love to see it fully interrogated on the Switch though (like Homebrew on the 3DS via .3dsx files). We still got a long way to go for Switch Homebrew. I'm assuming you're using that browser method (where you redirect the browser to a link that loads the game from your PC to the Switch). I love seeing what we can do with one small flaw. Eventually, we will understand how the Switch works to finally get it running fully from the Switch rather than external assets. :P

Damn! I can't wait to see where the homebrew scene goes! Though I chose to use my Switch homebrew free but now I'm envious. I would LOVE old Doom on Switch. Would have been nice if the Switch version of 2016 Doom came with the old games bundled. :(

Still, I have my Vita for portable homebrew needs.

Yes, and its working fine. Excellent port by "kgsws".

Tutorial:
1. Compiling
git clone https://github.com/kgsws/kgdoom
cd kgdoom
make LLVM_POSTFIX=-5.0 LIBTRANSISTOR_HOME=/path to graphic libtransistor branch/
you should get kgdoom.nro

2. Pack the wad with kgdroom.nro
Create new folder in pegaswitch call it "files".
Put there kgdoom.nro and for example doom1.wad (google it)

3. Modify the pegaswitch
To run Doom, we must modify pegaswitch - start.js i prefer to make a copy and call it doom.js
by editing this file doom.js found line
app.get('/cache',' and add above this
app.use('/files', express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'files')));
Save

4. Starting the doom
Start pegaswitch by using modified start.js (doom.js)
Open new terminal type nc -v -l -p 2991
Connect your switch to pegaswitch by using Check update in switch game or by WiFi Settings your choice
type command in pegaswitch runnro /nros/ace.nro
Open new terminal and type
ncat --send-only SWITCHIP 2991 < kgdoom.nro

5. Doom should started.

By according to kgsws his port work to other dooms too. My tutorial is based on shareware Doom 1 Version.
Command line options:
- to run shareware (doom1.wad), just run 'kgdoom.nro'
- to run doom 1 (doom.wad), run 'kgdoom.nro -doom'
- to run doom ultimate (doomu.wad), run 'kgdoom.nro -doomu'
- to run doom 2 (doom2.wad), run 'kgdoom.nro -doom2'
- to run plutonia (plutonia.wad), run 'kgdoom.nro -plutonia'
- to run TNT (tnt.wad), run 'kgdoom.nro -tnt'

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
