Um Um Help Installing Doom Please

[bflaug32]

ok well i searched the forum+googled before asking this so dont yell at me....

I am trying to install doom and I put it in wherever the GPDoom.txt tells me to and my gp2x is not reading it from the games menu. do i need some emulator to run the ".fxe" program. or did I setup my SD card wrong? I havent upgraded the firmware if that is a problem.

Thanks.

I think you might have the wrong version of the files. FXEs are executables that run on the gp32 not gp2x.

Not sure if this is your problem, but GPdoom doesn't work on the GP2X. You want prBoom. Get it read it's readme and I bet youll be on your way.

Great - just what I have been waiting for but.... I've only got Doom for XBox - and it hasn't got WAD files! Anyone know of a way to convert the VOB files to WAD???

DoomX on the Xbox uses wad files too. VOB files are video files on DVD. Are you referring to the PC port or the Doom games that were bundled with Doom 3?

All I've got are VUP, IFO and VOB files. It's Doom3 for XBox. I expected to see some wad file but when I loaded the Cd in my PC there were none!

 

[wyefye]

er dude, its doom 3. its compiled for the xbox. your not going to find any wad files. besides, even if it did have wad files, its doom 3 - not something the gp2x can handle(how could you even think of making it try to render all that black?). You want doom - its just called "DOOM" not doom 2 or doom 3.

Actually, Doom 3 collector's edition on Xbox has a folder called original (I believe) and the classic doom .wad files for doom and doom 2 are stored there.

PrBoom will play Doom, Doom 2, Ultimate Doom or Final Doom.

Duhhh... NO I checked the disc doesn't have an 'original' folder - just the one with the wrong files in it! I thought all Doom's used wads - I was wrong. I think I have a Doom Ultimate for PC kicking around somewhere - I'll dig it out and rescue the wad from there! Thanks.
