You are not going to get Brutal Doom to run through PrBoom. That mod requires a GZDoom or Zandronum; neither having ports for the 3DS. However, there is a mod called Boiled Doom, which attempts to recreate Brutal Doom for vanilla Doom so that in theory should work.

For Sigil (assuming you downloaded it from rome.ro), you need to use the "COMPAT" version if you want to run it in ports that don't support MAPINFO such as PrBoom3DS.

sigil COMPAT(v1_0), Brutaldeh and Boiled DooM doesnt work, all that shows up is regular DooM.

PWADs don't show at the IWAD launcher. You need to select one of the IWADs, then go to Options>General>"Files Preloaded at Game Startup" then type the name of the WAD file in one of the two slots. Restart PrBoom, select the IWAD again and the mods will load along side the IWAD.

Yeah sorry I'm a bit stupid but what buttons would have to press to do this?

Sorry for this near necro-bump, but I'd like to ask Wavy & elhobbs if either of them would mind tweaking their fork to add a simple PWAD selection mechanism (in theory in the same 'style' as the IWAD selection thingy, but after it).

If I could code (at all) I'd do it myself, but alas...
