#Extract the zip to your favourite media device, dsdoom will now read files from the directory where you put dsdoom.nds when the launcher supports the argv protocol.  
These are the files you will need to copy over in order to run DS Doom:
#For a launcher that supports argv and works on many devices see http://devkitpro.org/hbmenu.
* dsdoom.nds - Main program.
#Select Standard Game from the initial menu to start a single player game.
* prboom.wad - Included in the binary download file, which contains data files used by DS DOOM to draw non-standard graphics.
* doom.wad - Doom datafile. Make sure the Doom data file you use is renamed to doom.wad or it will not work.
* PRBOOM.CFG - prboom configuration file.
 
Alternatively, simply extract the zip to your favourite media device, dsdoom will now read files from the directory where you put dsdoom.nds when the launcher supports the argv protocol, such as [[Homebrew Menu|hbmenu]].
 
Select Standard Game from the initial menu to start a single player game.
 
==User guide==
===Custom wads===
Using the [[Homebrew Menu|hbmenu]] you can use .argv files to pass arguments to DS Doom which gives you the ability to use any PrBoom compatible PWADs and DEHs. DS Doom will accept most arguments you can pass to PrBoom but there is no guarantees that all of them will work as expected.
 
To access features include PWADS, DEHs and warping to specific maps, create a file with a .argv extension in your DS Doom folder then edit it with a text editor. For instance, an argv file containing
dsdoom.nds -iwad doom2.wad -file KDiP.wad -save KDiP
 
will start dsdoom with the doom2 wad, the Knee Deep in Phobos PWAD and place the save files in the KDiP directory.

DSDoom is a port of Doom to the Nintendo DS based off the Prboom source tree because of its purity and portability.

Note from developers:

DS Doom is a game engine which provides a program to play Doom levels, but it doesn't include any levels itself. More importantly, you need all the sounds, sprites, and other graphics that make up the Doom environment. So to play dsdoom, you need one of the main Doom data files from id Software - either doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad or plutonia.wad from one of the commercial Doom games, or the shareware doom1.wad. This file is called the IWAD.

If you don't own any of the Doom games, get the doom1.wad from shareware version of doom on The Dos Games Archive. You won't be able to play most add-ons though.

Features

  • DSDoom loads any Prboom-compatible IWAD file.
  • Single-player is playable at very smooth framerates.
  • Multiplayer network play is possible using DS wifi and prboom_server.exe.
  • Configuration file.
  • Sound effects work with stereo panning.
  • Touch screen control.

Installation

These are the files you will need to copy over in order to run DS Doom:

  • dsdoom.nds - Main program.
  • prboom.wad - Included in the binary download file, which contains data files used by DS DOOM to draw non-standard graphics.
  • doom.wad - Doom datafile. Make sure the Doom data file you use is renamed to doom.wad or it will not work.
  • PRBOOM.CFG - prboom configuration file.

Alternatively, simply extract the zip to your favourite media device, dsdoom will now read files from the directory where you put dsdoom.nds when the launcher supports the argv protocol, such as hbmenu.

Select Standard Game from the initial menu to start a single player game.

User guide

Custom wads

Using the hbmenu you can use .argv files to pass arguments to DS Doom which gives you the ability to use any PrBoom compatible PWADs and DEHs. DS Doom will accept most arguments you can pass to PrBoom but there is no guarantees that all of them will work as expected.

To access features include PWADS, DEHs and warping to specific maps, create a file with a .argv extension in your DS Doom folder then edit it with a text editor. For instance, an argv file containing 

dsdoom.nds -iwad doom2.wad -file KDiP.wad -save KDiP

will start dsdoom with the doom2 wad, the Knee Deep in Phobos PWAD and place the save files in the KDiP directory.

See also the tutorial How to play custom wads with DsDoom by Nikokaro.

Wifi connection

To play online using wifi, you're going to want to have a PC with port 5030 opened/forwarded. Run prboom_server.exe with the number of players specified using the -N command line parameter. There are other parameters for such things as maps and coop; check out the prboom_server documentation. The server waits until the given number of players connect and then the game begins.

Now that you have the server running, you will want to set up the DSes. Make sure that WFC data is set in firmware on the DSes. Next, edit the prboom.cfg file on the card and change the server "name:port" line under misc. You are ready to start. Launch dsdoom.nds and choose the network game option in the initial menu.

FAQ

Q. When will G6 or other media device be supported?

Assuming your device uses DLDI autopatching, which most modern cards do, then everything should be working fine.

Q. Why did I get a Guru Meditation data abort error?

As of now, online netplay is particularly unstable. Restart the game and continue playing.

Q. Where do I get the PrBoom server?

You can get the PrBoom server for your chosen platform from the PrBoom Site. dsdoom is based on prboom 2.4.2.

Q. I don't have Doom, where can I get a WAD to play?

You can use the shareware doom WAD, download it from the dos games archive.
