Homebrew Newbie needs help with DS DOOM Please

[demonseed99]

Hi guys, forgive me asking about a homebrew game probably years after you have all been playing it, but im new to this stuff.
Im running an M3 DS REAL with latest Firmware, have got ds doom on the micro sd card and when it starts it lets me choose the standard game, but then im presented with a black screen.
Am i miless away from gettin git to work or does it not like my card maybe?
I used the M3 dldi patch from this site which says micro sd cards for m3, didnt see one directly for the DS Real.
Quake Ds works a treat that was my first mission success in homebrew and i used the same dldi patch, so i must be on the right track hopefully.
Im using the latest doom release 1.1.2 i believe.
Hope any wise homebrewers can help me as id love to have doom running
Cheers Guys, again sorry im about 10 years behind LOL.

Also, replace the wads that say doom.wad, doom2.wad etc. with the proper wads.

Extract them into a folder inside your hard drive. Make a folder named 'data'.
Here is the folder’s structure:
data>Game Menu.nds
data>dsdoom
data>dsdoom>(Loads of folders, which are the wad’s names)
data>dsdoom>prboom.cfg
data>dsdoom>prboom.wad
data>dsdoom>wadsel.ini
data>dsdoom>Tranmap.dat
After making sure you have these, copy the whole data folder in the root of your flashcard.

Adding extra WADs
First, you need to have the wad…
For the example, we’ll use the file “whatever.wad”.
Go to data>dsdoom and make a new folder. Name the folder as you have named the wad (So for the example, the folder is going to be named whatever).
Inside the folder, put your wad.

Now open
data>dsdoom>wadsel.ini
with Notepad or whatever program you use for text editing.

Now, go to the bottom and add this:

[Whatever]
savpath = Whatever/
wad = Whatever/ Whatever.wad

Don’t forget to edit whatever to the name that your wad has
Make sure there’s an empty line between the wads you’ve added into the file.

And now, random analysis

[Whatever]

Im guessing i wont need to patch it to get it going ?
just follow your steps above.

 

[demonseed99]

aHH!!! Still no damm luck, i get as far as choose wad, then black screen......
I must have set it up wrong, so sorry your quote has left me a bit confused i guess, lost my way a bit with where to put everything plus the wadsel.ini i typed at bottom as follows
doomwad
savpath = doomwad/
doomwad = doomwad/ doom.wad
whats random analysis.
doh!! i must be thick i gues im tottaly lost. sorry to let you down.
i even did a dldi patch on the doom.nds
all i get is double black screen.
MY DS Real must not like Doom, yet i got Quake ds to work..

You don't need to manually dldi patch it because the M3Real automatically patches the game when it starts up. Also you MUST replace the doom.wad or the other wads in the folders with the SHAREWARE or FULLVERSION wad.

DS doom needs to be put in the root of the card.

Put it in a folder and its like eating with a gasmask on.

 

[demonseed99]

AHH! so ile have it all on one page....

 

[demonseed99]
