Installation
- Copy the 'prboom' folder anywhere on your SD card.
- Put one, or more, supported IWAD in the the 'prboom' folder. Supported IWAD are doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad or plutonia.wad from one of the commercial Doom games, or the shareware doom1.wad.
- If you want music download timidity.tar.gz, extract and copy the timidity folder at the root of your SD card.
- Run PrBoom.gpe from you prefered shell.
- Config controls using the Setup menu.
Control configuration
- All controls except Vol-/Vol+ can ben remapped using the Setup>Key Bindings menu.
For weapons, you can sort weapons based on your preference in prboom.cfg (near the end, under Weapon preferences). You can assign a key to "best" in the Weapons section of the "Setup>Key Bindings" menu. Pressing the button will switch between your two favorite weapons.
For manual prboom.cfg editing, I think the codes are the following (not tested):
A 0x42 B 0x43 X 0x58 Y 0x59 L 0x4C R 0x52 SELECT 0x1B START 0x0D Vol+ 0x12B Vol- 0x12D
(joystick click and movements are not keys).
Savegames
Savegames should work. Be sure the quit PrBoom and to wait a few moment before shutting down your GP2X.
