Release Prboom With Picklelauncher For Pandora

[Pickle]

PrBoom is an enhanced doom engine. This version now supported opengl-es. Thanks to darkblu for help with some of the more complex conversions.
To use or not use opengl go to general options and find video mode. Anything with bit will be SDL sw, opengl will be opengl-es

Get it here
http://dl.openhandhe...i?0,0,0,0,30,78 (hasnt been updated yet)
or here:
http://apps.open-pandora.org/cgi-bin/viewapp.pl?/Game/prboom.inf

Source for prboom is here : pickle.gp2x.de/source/prboom-src.zip

This version of PrBoom also now include my own PickleLauncher frontend. PickleLauncher should detect any wads in the prboom appdata folder.
For 2 iwad configurations you must manually modify the profile.txt in the appdata folder to have the correct name for the second wad.

For example:
entry=twilight.wad,prboom.cfg,doom2.wad,twilight.wad

Controls
dpad up and down select the entry
escape to quit
any other key launches the entry

Ive designed PickleLauncher to be generic so that i should work with any command line compatible type application. But of course its still young and might need fixes or enhancement.
Feel free to try it out with other apps and provide feedback. Im fine with it being released with other apps as long as the readme, font license and other files are included.
It is also cross platform (already running on caanoo), so i will be releasing it for other devices.

Great news. I wanted to play through Doom 1 and 2 when my Pandora arrived, hardware acceleration is a great plus. I look forward to using it. Thanks again Pickle.

3) put doom.wad in the prboom directory
4) started prboom

try pickle.gp2x.de/prboom.pnd, it should fix the problem. I think i copied the lib to the nand for devel work, its in the pnd but the linker needs some help finding it.

hmm, im not sure how to fix this yet, what is happened is the the linker change i made must be lost when prboom is launched.
The only real option i can see it to install the libs to /usr/lib

Edit. hmm maybe prboom isnt lauching where i think it should, i have some caanoo issues that seem to hint at the same thing.

try the package here http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/pandora.cgi?0,0,0,0,30,78
(no idea if the appstore has been updated to my last submission)

and delete the profile.txt from the appdata/prboom folder and relaunch the pnd.

Yep, that one works. Awesome! I love Doom.

Edit: Thanks Pickle!
