You can use the console to enter cheats and other commands, like mentioned above.
Rumble is technically possible, but in practice rumble commands would have to be supplied by game/mod code because that's what ultimately controls the weapons/damage/whatever, and since games and mods are all vastly different that would make it kinda difficult.

Just to suggest something cool


So I messed around with this one with some interesting results.

When I put the .ipk3 file into the gzdoom folder and run GZdoom from the homebrew menu...the game runs flawlessly.
When I change the file from .ipk3 to .pk3 and put it in the pwad folder and run it as a file on DOOM 2, it has framedrop issues...similar to how Brutal Doom has framedrop issues when I load it the same way.

I'd really like to get this sorted out so I can play the CastleVania and BrutalDoom mods to their full potential.

Also, the GZLauncher doesn't seem to recognize the CastleVania 3 trilogy .wad file in the IWADS folder as executable. What's up with that?

I'm very new to using GZDoom, so hopefully I'm just fucking up something simple.

I don't recall what the fuck kind of UI I made for that thing, but I think you need to create a new profile for custom IWADs.
Hey that worked! Thanks!
Got everything running smoothly after messing with display settings too. I turned off stuff we obviously don’t need like 60+ FPS and VSync.
Pretty sweet app. Thanks for your hard work!

Got a feature\functionality request that I hope will be easy to implement, if you wish to do so. It's sorting PWADs into seperate folders e.g. by corresponding IWAD, whether they're Boom compatible or need a source-port, etc.

I previously managed WADs manually by using Joel16's NXShell, but it doesn't seem to run on Atmosphere 13.X, and he's currently busy with other stuff (which is totally fine and I appreciate his work).

is there a way to save options? Have to turn jump and free look off every time haha

Exit using the Quit Game button in the main menu and not the Home button.

I just encountered the same problem, and no, this method does not work. Turns out GZDoom doesn't save Gameplay options, and you have to use an autoexec.cfg file with "dmflags <#>" and "dmflags2 <#>" commands in it, but it doesn't seem to work on Switch. Any workarounds?

Are you using title redirection?

...did you even read the first post, how to install and stuff?
  • GZDoom (especially some more complex mods) may require more RAM than is available in applet mode, so better use another title instead of the Album for HBMenu override, or use NSP HBMenu;

Oh, I am a brand new Switch user. Therefore, I can get confused in concepts. But it looks like I'm using the Applet Mod. And I don't understand how to do it differently in the case of GZDoom. Can you tell me?
