PrBoom+ 3DS is a direct port of PrBoom+ 2.6.66 with extra added enhancements exclusive to the system. It provides most of the capabilities found in desktop PrBoom+, only a few unsupported renderer and networking features have been removed.
In addition, all video modes apart from 8-bit are supported. By default, the GPU-accelerated OpenGL mode is enabled, though the other software-rendering modes are also available should you wish to fall back on them (so far, all modes produce roughly similar performance, with OpenGL being moderately faster)
Features
- PrBoom+ 2.6.66.
- Features both GPU-accelerated OpenGL mode, and software-renderer modes.
- Great performance on New 3DS, decent-ish performance on Old 3DS.
- Good quality stereoscopic 3D.
- Interchangeable touchscreen mouse and keyboard.
Installation
How to install
To set up and run PrBoom+ on your Nintendo 3DS, follow these steps:
- Dump the DSP firm to ensure sound compatibility.
- Download the prboom-plus-3DS.zip file and the prboom-plus.3dsx/cia file from the release page.
- Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
- If you're planning to run the .3dsx version, copy prboom-plus.3dsx to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus.
- If you're planning to run the .cia version, copy prboom-plus.cia to any location on the SD card and install it using FBI.
- Obtain the WAD file for the game you want to run and copy it to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus/. Make sure to only have one game WAD in this folder at a time.
- Open the Homebrew Launcher (for .3dsx version) or Home Menu (for .cia version) on your Nintendo 3DS and select PrBoom+ to launch the game.
PWADs/Dehacked files
If you have any PWADs (custom game files) or Dehacked files that you want to apply to the game, follow these additional steps:
- Run the game at least once to create the prboom-plus.cfg file, then quit the game.
- On your PC, copy your PWADs/DEHs to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus.
- Open the prboom-plus.cfg file in a text editor and fill out the exact filenames of the PWADs/DEHs in the wadfile_X and dehfile_X config entries, including the file extension.
- Save the config file and run the game again. The mods should now take effect, assuming PrBoom+ supports them.
