PrBoom+ 3DS is a port of PrBoom+ 2.6.66 to the Nintendo 3DS. PrBoom+ is an enhanced source port of the classic 3D first-person shooter game Doom. This port includes some extra enhancements exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS system. It supports most of the features you would expect from the desktop version of PrBoom+. However, it does not support a few unsupported renderer features and networking features. It supports all video modes apart from 8-bit, with the GPU-accelerated OpenGL mode enabled by default. Other software-rendering modes are also available if needed, and all modes produce similar performance.

Installation
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 or prboom-plus.cia file from the latest 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.
