Adding Doom wads

[Anonymous]

Hi,

although im not new to the retropie, i have trouble setting up doom2 to the ports section.
Bevore 3.5 i edited Doom.sh to point to my doom2.wad and saved it as DoomII.sh. But now the Doom.sh only has a runcommand.sh line in it.
Can anyone help?

Thanks for your help!
I have read the these instructions but it seems the contents of the file has changed in 3.5.

They have changed but you can the old style for your Doom 2 script. Try a script with the following:

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-prboom/prboom_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/doom/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad" "lr-prboom"

There are plans to be able to add Doom wads within RetroPie but for now, it needs to be done manually.

I wouldn’t change it like that as it will get overwritten.

Instead edit

/opt/retropie/configs/doom/emulators.cfg and add a new line for example lr-prboom-doom2=”blah” with the launch config, you can switch between doom2 / doom from the runcommand script then.

ignore what I said regarding being overwritten – if you make a new script as above that is fine – I had thought you were overwriting the main doom launch script which would get changed back. You can choose either way.

Ok thanks alot. I already thought about changing emulators.cfg but hoped there was a better way of doing it.
