If your switch can use homebrew then of course it works

That sounds very much like you're running with insufficient memory, which is likely to happen if you run in applet (album) mode. If you are 100% sure that you're running in regular app mode or from NSP hbmenu, post logs from the /switch/gzdoom folder.

You mean holding R over an app and not the album? I am absolutely doing that. The log just says failed to allocate memory. I wonder if this is an issue with rei.nx or something.

For most Homebrew, you need to have a Switch Game Card inserted, or have a Game/Demo Installed. Then, when the Home Screen, Highlight the Game/Card/Demo, Hold R and Open it. If it comes up with the Select User Profile, keep holding R and Select the User Profile needed. Keep holding R until you reach the Homebrew Menu/Loader, then it is no longer needed.

If you want to be sure, you can try NSP hbmenu if you don't mind installing it.

Some can not Install it. I tried with Goldleaf, and it froze. With Tinfoil it crashed.

yep. I'v actually tried on a number of occasions. I could probably looks and see if somebody's got a gzdoom forwarder somewhere.

I got something to change by not holding r at all until the profile selector comes up. If I hold r at all before the profile selector, I just go straight into the menu. Freedoom 1 works now, but doom 2 still crashes on starting a new game. Its less unstable now.

Thanks for all your work!

Just on time lol.

GZDoom sure is GPU hungry

I tried the new version but the setting still reset after every tine i start the app. Any fix for this?

 

[fgsfds]

Works on my machine. What settings are you modifying and what controller are you selecting in the menu when doing so? It should show 8 "switch controllers", you should select the top one.
Also, make sure to exit the game via the Exit button in the menu, that ensures that the settings get saved.

Do other wads launch faster for you? I'm told that If you aren't overclocking, it may take a while to boot. Even when launched from an app like your supposed to, it still seems to take a minute in my experience. Just wait for it, and if it doesn't launch within, say, 2 minutes, there may be something wrong.

it takes about 60 seconds to load games. Wait for about a minute on the black screen.

Just tested Doom64 Retribution, new update is working fine here.

Project Brutality 3.0 just crashes when you fire a weapn. Does anyone have a fix? I pk3 from github but no matter what I do it just crashes.

Hey @fgsfds, just as a heads up, Switch update 9.0 updates the HID stuff on the Switch, so the upcoming releases of Atmosphere will require all homebrew to use a new libnx version which will be needed for all subsequent homebrew to work properly, since without it, any <9.0 compiled homebrew won't recognize button inputs. Updating all of your repos with the new libnx and re-compiling them with it should do it (GzDoom, the Quakes, Doom 3, etc).
Here's m4xw's tweet for more info:

I will still advice every dev to update their homebrew as soon as possible, this will be considered to be removed in the next Atmosphere releases.
Don't forget it! https://t.co/qcMtwzyxGU
