Doom: Quitting


chickendung said:
prBoom is giving me grief. Whenever I try to quit, it freezes on a black screen. This happens for every wad. Is this a bug that the porter has to fix, or is there a workaround?

Thanks.

The original's should work with no issues.
Some mods need this added to the startup script:
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment

Nope, no dice. Doom, Doom II, Evilution, and Plutonia never let me quit. I tried adding that line to Doom.gpe:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
./pollux_dpc_set 'lcd_timings=397,1,37,277,341,0,17,337;clkdiv0=9'
./prboom -config prboom.cfg -iwad doom1.wad > prboom.log.txt 2>&1
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
./gp2xmenu

Is that where it should be (if, that is, it will make a difference)?

Sorry i misunderstood, the proper way is:
cd /usr/gp2x
exec ./gp2xmenu

Okay...I added the exec and got rid of the echo line, but it still won't quit properly.

Thanks! That did the trick. I guess I have older versions of the WADs or something, but getting rid of that made it launch faster, and quit successfully! :D

Thanks again Pickle! Any chance of getting Hexen or Zelda Classic on the Wiz? (See my thread in the Wishes section ;) )
