Homebrew [Release] PrBoom+ 3DS Port (GPU-accelerated)

[TheMasuke]

/etc/ folder goes at the root of the SD card. Everything else is set up fine.
It kicks you back to the home menu because you haven't put a game WAD in the PrBoom-Plus folder as well


Thanks a lot for the kind words! And sure thing, that was kinda foolish of me to forget, haha.

Ohh I took it literal when you said to only make sure one WAD file is placed in the PrBoom-Plus folder, and that's why I didn't move "prboom-plus.wad". Also while you're still here, does that xml shortcut basically let you run Doom 1 and 2 separately, but still through PrBoom+?

Ah, yeah I can see how that might've been confusing, lol. I'll be sure to change the wording of the instructions later on.
For the shortcuts, yeah they'll let you run all your doom engine games separately. Make a folder in /PrBoom-Plus/ called IWADs or something, then put the game WADs in there, and have the xml shortcut arguments point to them like in the posted examples.

I say to make a new folder cuz some weird stuff happens when more than 1 game WAD is put in the PrBoom-Plus folder, as if the engine is trying to load them all together, causing some wacky and corrupted looking graphics to occur.

This.
Is.
Amazing.

Thank you SO much for doing this you have absolutely made my week. Month. Possibly year!

Doom is my favourite game of all time and 3ds is my favourite console so this is just perfect. The 3d in particular is brilliantly done.

Again, thank you. You brought a happy tear to this old gamer's eye

This is more or less a straight port of PrBoom+ 2.6.66, with some extra added enhancements exclusive to the system.

Well done! I love a good Doom portas much as the next person, but a feature I have found lacking in any of the 3ds versions is using the second screen to display the map. I still use DS Doom because of this because It just makes the game feel more native to the system, even if the controls are closer to the gba version. Would it be possible for this to be a feature in this version?

Yeah, that's totally understandable. Having the mini-map on the bottom screen was something I had planned to add as well, but to be frank I was growing a little tired of working on the port by that point and wanted to focus on getting a release out so I could have a break to work on something else.
Hopefully I'll find some motivation again to look into that (and all the other feedback) at some point in the near future, we'll see.

Is there a way to remap the left joystick to 'turn' rather than 'strafe' please? I've remapped the buttons in the cfg but that only changes the d-pad settings not the joystick.....
Thanks in advance!!

 

[ElectricJelly]

Pity that you're burnt out (at least for now). Thanks for the work so far regardless.

 

[Mr_Start]

Just an quick question to understand, to load like the others WAD like Doom 1, Doom 2 and etc, i need to edit on ini? replace by the original?

 

[fusermarucs]

Hi - no, if you want to play doom 1, make sure doom.wad is in the prboom directory (along with prboom.wad)
If you want to play doom 2, put doom2.wad in that directory instead - make sure doom.wad isn't in there as well though
I just move them about thru fbi

 

[jamespoo]

this is great thanks

 

[QuestionSleep1984]

This is so cool, how can I build it? I want to add the ZR/ZL buttons

 

[Elitemaster215]

How do I get Fistful of Doom and Harmony running on Pr-Boom+ 3DS? I tried the parameters but it loads Doom 2. Maybe I put the Pwads in the pr-boom plus folder.

 

[Hat-Man]

Do you think you can meet feature parity with PRBoom 3DS? The automap being on the lower screen is an amazing use of that screen, for instance.

 

[idkwhattoput]

Yooo this is so cool!, Doom 2 is running in my O2DS a bit laggy in large areas but its playable, tysm

(i will probably play this port a lot for now)

I would also like to know. It would be nice to use the circle pad to look around and the Y, X, B, A buttons to go forward, backward and strafe.

I'm so happy I stumbled onto this while screwing around trying to get a .cia for elhobbs' prboom3ds working: what miraculous timing! I'll stay tuned to see what comes next.

Almost, just move it up a folder (into E:) and music should be working fine then.

 

[J3RRY]

yup that was it worked first try thanks so much!

 

[J3RRY]

sorry about all the questions lol I know you're quite busy with other projects, but I am just wondering when I remap the buttons there is no joyb_prevweapon can I just add this in and save the file or no that wont work I already change and remapped my buttons to my liking but this is the only thing I think is missing anyways any help will be appreciated thank you, and also how do I turn one off I tried leaving it blank but then it defaults and it counts as two buttons at once.
