A WAD Manager for Chocolate Doom, built on top of MVG's port of Chocolate DOOM.

This will manage all of your DOOM games in one place. Also allows for the ability to run mods on top of your games.

Installation

The release includes Chocolate Doom NX and a copy of DOOM Shareware.

Simply extract the zip on to your SD card and place all your IWADs into the "wads" directory.

Supports IWADs:

  • DOOM Registered.
  • DOOM Shareware.
  • The Ultimate DOOM.
  • DOOM 2: Hell on Earth.
  • DOOM 2: Plutonia.
  • DOOM 2: TNT - Evilution.
  • Freedoom: Phase 1.
  • Freedoom: Phase 2.

For PWADs/mods:

  • Place the PWADs into the "wads" folder.
  • Place the dehacked (DEH) files into the "dehs" folder.
  • Place the INI files go into the "mods" folder. Examples of these INI files (tested and working) can be found in the Mods.zip file in the release. These INI files are text files that define the mod and the arguments that should be ran with Chocolate Doom NX. Supported arguments are: aa, af, as, deh, file, merge, and nwtmerge.
