Homebrew WIP GZDoom for Switch

.ipk3 files should go into iwads/ since that's what they're supposed to be, unless it was misnamed by the author for whatever reason. The launcher does scan for them, also for *.iwad files, but only in iwads/.

Yo I just wanna say thank you so much for all your work on the id games! It's a really big deal to me as one random person enjoying them.

Having Q1-3 (+HL), and now Hexen etc is amazing. I already hop in Q3 on the go as a timekiller more than I do most the shit for Switch I've actually bought from N. It's the dream!

Also wanna say that they all run pretty flawlessly thus far for me on current OS update and Atmosphere for anyone looking.

Random side question, do you have any interest in UT/Unreal? Dunno if it's as feasible or if there's any interest but have been wondering if anyone would attempt a port, since you're one of the only people I see putting out old school FPS ports publicly figured it's worth a shot to see what the viability is.

If not was just curious, you have my gratitude brother for all this stuff. Being a little older it's still wild to me how good the switch is & how good the mod scene is.

fgsfds · May 24, 2019

Thanks. Unreal and UT are not really possible to port since they're both closed source.

Thank you @fgsfds for this superb Doom port! I cannot believe it I played Brutal Doom (v21 just came out) on my Switch today thanks to you, and it worked absolutely flawlessly!!!!

All I did was I adjusted the sound fx volume to 0.2, because I felt the fx from my gun were a bit too loud. And then I adjusted the turn/look axis sensitivity to 0.5 because aiming felt better that way to me.

Amazing work!

Do you get pauses with it though? Idk if it's because it's graphically intense but explosions make it stop for a second

It does that even on my pc I think it is normal, explosion chain reactions are just very CPU intensive I think.

There is also no script JIT for aarch64, and modern GZDoom and mods are very script heavy.

i messed up and wiped my nice smooth config file. And now tweaking settings from default i cant seem to get it not run choppy.

Anyone got a nice high fps config file they could share with me?

Try mine bottom of page 5..

@fgsfds Could you share the command line you used to built it ?
I tried twice this weekend, but I can't make it to build.
I have all the libnx dependencies, and I inderstand that I have to build it for native target first (ImportExecutables.cmake seem to matter) but when it come to the switch build, it fail. Last time I tried, it complained about fluidsynth not present, then I tried to install your fluidsynth-lite port but it didn't work either.
I just want to overclock the switch prior to run the program. I don't want to mess with AMS plugin (like sys-clk) to do it.
Thanks you

To be frank with you, I don't remember the exact cmake command line I used to build it. I generated CMakeCache once and then forgot about it. Should've probably written it down.
But here's a general build process for everyone who wants to have a crack at it.

Make sure you've installed all the dependencies (this includes switch-tools, devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers, openal-soft and fluidsynth-lite). libopenal-soft.a might need to be renamed to libopenal.a, likewise libfluidsynth-lite.a into libfluidsynth.a.
Build the game for your host platform (i.e. msys2, WSL, Mac or Linux, whatever you're compiling on) in a separate folder. The wiki has instructions for that.
Create a folder called "switchbuild" or something in your gzdoom source folder, cd into it and execute this:

Code:

source /opt/devkitpro/switchvars.sh
cmake -G"Unix Makefiles" \
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/opt/devkitpro/switch.cmake \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/opt/devkitpro/portlibs/switch/bin/aarch64-none-elf-pkg-config \
-DIMPORT_EXECUTABLES=/path/to/your/native/build/ImportExecutables.cmake \
-DFORCE_CROSSCOMPILE=ON \
-DDYN_FLUIDSYNTH=OFF \
-DDYN_OPENAL=OFF \
-DDYN_MPG123=OFF \
-DDYN_SNDFILE=OFF \
-DNO_FMOD=ON \
-DNO_GTK=ON \
-DNO_OPENMP=ON \
..

Then run make. It takes a long-ass time to compile, so I recommend using the -j option for make.
This is based on my CMakeCache.txt, so it might be slightly wrong. Replace /opt/devkitpro and /opt/devkitpro/portlibs with your own paths if they are different.

@fgsfds thanks you! I missed to rename fluidsynth and certainly openal lib.

Just a head up: John Romero (Yes, THAT John Romero) just released a new 5th episode for Doom called Sigil, and it works perfect with the Switch port of GZDoom.

Get the .wad here!

Purple_Shyguy · May 31, 2019

Warning: Sigil will make you it's bitch.

Also, it's SUPER dark so you might wanna change the lighting settings to software or Legacy if you are finding it too hard to see, well, anything!

M7L7NK7 · May 31, 2019

Do you need SIGIL_COMPAT.wad?

fgsfds · May 31, 2019

That's for non limit removing ports IIRC. So no.

This also works on PrBoom, you just need to specify in the config file that you load sigil.wad as pwad, and if you want to have the music for it, then load the shreds.wad for Buckethead's music in it.

fgsfds · Jun 2, 2019

Released a small update, merging updates from GZDoom 4.1.2 and beyond.
I will attempt to sync releases to GZDoom releases in the future, if possible.

Rockjawak47 · Jun 3, 2019

FGSFDS-

Thanks for all your hard work.
Any noticeable performance improvement with v2?

Also, i notice in v1 my profiles dissapear at random. Any solution?

Thanks again.
