This is the famous Doom game.
Getting started
For the game to run you need
.wad
game files located in
/.rockbox/doom/
on your
player. Create the directory and save the following files there:
rockdoom.wad.
The Rockbox
.wad
, based on
prboom.wad
from prboom-2.2.6
Your wad files.
Copy all Doom wads you wish to play into that directory.
The needed files can be found at
Z
PluginDoom
To play addon wads create the
addons
directory within the doom directory. Place
wad
files in this directory. Currently doom only supports a maximum number of 10 addons.
A free alternative for Doom 2 is FreeDoom (
http://freedoom.sourceforge.net
). This
can be used in place of
doom2.wad
, or it may be used as an addon in Doom, by placing
it in the
addons
directory.
