Aww, that’s great Russ! I know many people were waiting for a way to play brutalDoom on their RG351. ArkOS opens up so much more possibilities than the stock firmware. Thanks for the guide!

cant load the batman tho for some reason :/ when i do it as the tutorial says it makes 1 Batman game in the doom menu and then 1 batman doom in mods folder.. the one in doom folder starts like normal doom1 with some skin and the second 1 is incomplete batman mod like missing floor, some walls etc :/

@@RetroGameCorps on your website there was a guy who complained about stick drifting in Doom 1 and 2, I also had this problem. With this solution the drift is gone and the experience now is even better. Having this issue still in Quake 1 and 2 over the ports section, not always, I think its everytime I start one of that games for the second time, after restarting the whole system it works normal again. Strange... Keep up the good work and greetings from Germany.

@@Kiwilicious thanks for the feedback! That is definitely odd about the stick drifting. It might be something with the implementation of the controller drivers, but I don't know much about that. Glad it's fixed in this new solution!

As mentioned by another poster...the brutal doom mod won't load with your instructions :(. I'm on ArkOS 1.5, and everything is exactly the same as you've illustrated. Everything is named correctly, and the sh file is a direct copy off the how-to. [edit]ALWAYS check the version of your doom wad. My issue was an incompatibility with the V21 brutal doom due to a really old wad version.

What version of the Doom wad did you need to use? I'm having this same issue with both the Brutal and COD mod.

[@imtotiredforthis4006]

I have a doom mode that requires two pk3 files and I was wondering where I put the second one in the sh file?

[@RetroGameCorps]

Do you have them in the DOOM folder, or are you looking in the PORTS folder?

[@DasLawrence]

@@RetroGameCorps I have em all in the Doom folder, not the ports one. Made a .sh file just like you instructed. Still it doesn't show the mods in the list :(

[@RetroGameCorps]

@@DasLawrence hmm, that's really strange. If you can SSH into it, I would go to opt/.emulationstation/ in your FTP client and check the systems.cfg file and see if in the "doom" section it's keyed to look for .sh files. The latest ArkOS updates should have done that for you, but that's the only thing I can think of as to why .sh files aren't being recognized in that folder.

Any chance you could put up a guide on how to run Sonic Robo Blast 2 (and SRB2 Kart) on the RG351? It's an open-source Sonic fangame that runs on a fork of Doom Legacy.

My site has a repository of all RG350 emulators/ports/etc, but it's not the same process for the RG351P. These emulators and ports are controlled by the firmware developers.

Hey there, not exactly a question regarding Doom, but regarding Wolfenstein´s Source Port on ArkOS. I tried the Sharewareversion before updating to the current version (1.5 if I´m not mistaken) - and it ran fine. After the upgrade, I´ve tried installing my registered full Version, but it doesn´t seem to start. As soon as I start it, the ArkOS Screen flashes for a second or two and throws me back into the Ports Menu. Any idea?

I would be intered in understanding how and if it is possible to add other emulators to the ones preloaded in the various systems (apart from downloading new cores for retroarch: I mean, it would be really useful to be able, for example, to download espsxe for linux, as the two PSX emulators present in the various edition of every OS, are not completely compatible with many (japnese) games, like a huge part of bandai-banpresto titles.

Hi Alessandro, great question. You can either contribute to the firmwares if you are a programmer (for example, here is the instructions for 351ELEC), or you could put in an "Issue" on their GitHub pages as a feature request. As an example: github.com/fewtarius/351ELEC/issues

Ya think it’s possible to play brutal doom on the RG351V?

Not sure how comfortable it would be, but I’m wondering This is badass!

[@RetroGameCorps]

You would need an ArkOS image for it first, but it's possible. But would you want to play it with only one analog stick?! :)

[@Jagged_Animal]

@@RetroGameCorps I think it’s doable! Just with traditional aiming and strafing. not mouse or analog aiming. We all used to play like that, so why not give it a go on this system? If it proved to be hard I could always blue tooth connect a controller to it lmao. But that’s defeatist, I think I could do it, if not it’s not the biggest deal in the world lol My friend said he played brutal doom on a hacked ds lite

[@therascalwolf1]

EDIT: I have partially fixed issue of mine so that LZ Doom wads are playable with bad default controls. If anyone has a similar issue, read my last reply. I hope this helps. I really wanted this to work, but unfortunately for me, there are some things that aren't right. Firstly, I have Mayhem17 wad put into the Easyroms/doom folder with the commercial wads, but when I try to load it, it loads Ultimate Doom instead? I've also tried Moon Blood wad which doesn't work at all. Batman and Rekkr wads do seem to load fine though. Secondly, when I play any wad file that does work correctly, the controls for the analog sticks are horrible. The left analog stick controls are inverted (down is up and up is down), and with the right analog stick, using that to look up or around is impossible as it just goes in all directions (it's almost like it wants to emulate a very sensitive mouse input or something). This forces me to play with just a Dpad to go forward, backward, and strafe from side to side. Also, do I have to download LZ doom at any point? Or is it already in a firmware update for ArkOS? I have updated my ArkOS today, and still have these problems. Sorry if I've missed something in your amazing guide, but I still can't get to the bottom of this issue, some help would be really appreciated if it's possible. Thanks!

[@RetroGameCorps]

HI Levi, a few tips: Mayhem17 is a Doom II wad, which is why you're having problems loading it directly. You will need to build an .sh script to launch it, like how I set up Batman Doom in this video. Same thing with Mood Blood, it's a Doom II wad. You should be able to set the controls in the Joystick Controls section. Make sure that joystick is enabled, and I think you have to disable mouse mode, too. No need to download LZDoom, it's already loaded in ArkOS!

[@therascalwolf1]

@@RetroGameCorps Sorry for the delay, I'll try what you've suggested. Thanks ever so much! I will add something I forgot actually - the left analog stick is inverted even for the menu selection screen. Is that normal? Mouse has been turned off, still having the same issues, so I'll follow this video from the very begining again and see what I get. EDIT: Tried following the guide again, and I took your advice. Mayhem17 loads now, but controls are still inverted. I'm not sure if I'm right, but this seems to be some sort of software issue as the left analog stick is still down/up inverted even for navigating the doom menus (like the one shown on 8:54). This is strange because with loading Doom through RetroArch, I have none of those issues. Mouse was turned off and I tried to adjust controls, but this doesn't fully fix the problem. Perhaps my LZDoom loader is bugged. :(

[@therascalwolf1]

@@RetroGameCorps I managed to fix this issue by myself. You were right, it was about playing with controller settings, but it meant doing some rather complicated stuff. I think I unmapped the right analog stick from the actions panel, followed by inverting the directions of both sticks in the joystick menu, then messing with sensitivity. The only issue now is that the menu directions are inverted, but I can live with that. I hope this helps anyone with a similar issue to mine.

My Problem now is - Doom doesn't start anymore. Nothing starts anymore. I connected to the rg351 with WinSCP but i could only find lzdoom in /opt/lzdoom. There is no config to revert back to software rendering. Do you or anyone has a clue on how i can find the config? Darn it...it worked so well. EDIT: Found it. Configs are in /home/ark/.config/ and there is the ini for lzdoom. *phew* Everything ok again ^^ And you should set the resolution in the config on rg351m to: vid_defheight=320 vid_defwidth=480 and vid_scale_customheight=320 vid_scale_customlinear=true vid_scale_customstretched=false vid_scale_customwidth=480 Just to make sure you have the whole screen without artifacts. The menu might be letterboxed but ingame it will be 1:1!

[@greatpapercraft2008]

I did that too. I don't know if there's a way to fix it from any of the menus, or if my only solution is to reflash ArkOS.

Russ HALP!!! So Doom plays fine but Brutal Doom just send some back to the menu. My script is perfect so idk why it won’t load! :(

[@samuelmcdonald3443]

same issue for me

[@johntrevy1]

Sorry. I know it may sound like all I do is complain about things here and I should be grateful and I am, but I feel solutions like this don't really have the novice user in mind.

Bruh......

If you follow the guide step by step you can’t go wrong. You don’t need any knowledge just do what Russ says

[@RetroGameCorps]

Hi, unfortunately there isn't an easier process. GZDoom (and LZDoom) in particular just aren't made to be user-friendly. I tried my best to simplify the process from what I could find on the internet.

[@johntrevy1]

@@RetroGameCorps I get that, but surely a frontend wouldn't be difficult to implement?

[@RetroGameCorps]

@@johntrevy1 the problem is that after 25+ years of various means of mod development, each mod package has different requirements. Some use .wad files, others use .pk3, or a combination, not to mention map packs, etc. There's no real rhyme or reason to it. So implementation is just about impossible from a frontend user standpoint, unless the ArkOS or 351ELEC developer was interested in creating a mod repository of their own and allow that to download from GitHub onto the device (I don't think that's in the cards).

for god sake someone make a fallout port somehow PLEAAASE

[@wyterabitt2149]

Why don't you emulate it?

[@16794325810]

@@wyterabitt2149 dont know how?

[@xuanphucreview1831]

undertale ?

[@RetroGameCorps]

It's certainly possible, since there is a Linux version of the game, but I don't know if anyone has attempted porting it yet.

[@xuanphucreview1831]

is (brofotce), (shovel knight) feasible? I found it to work on linux

[@RetroGameCorps]

@@xuanphucreview1831 I'm not sure. Right now the developers are working on some classics like Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Doom 3, but I'm sure they will be trying more as time marches on!

[@IgnoreMyChan]

No need to *buy* doom anymore. Just google for DOOM abandonware and you'll find the DOOM.WAD and DOOM2.WAD with ease.

[@johntrevy1]

I know what you are saying but Doom1/2 is still an active commercial product.

[@IgnoreMyChan]

@@johntrevy1 Not really. It's the many ports that are commercially exploited. The '96 version we're talking about here is absolutely abandonware. And I also find that, it's not like you're supporting any hard working developers with it. You're just making rich people even richer, milking their IP's that they bought from the original developers. Believe me, you're not hurting anyone.

[@wyterabitt2149]

@@IgnoreMyChan Abandonware is basically a myth, it is not a part of any Western legal system as any legal expert will tell you. I'm certainly not against pirating just in general, but abandonware is not a real legal state.

[@johntrevy1]

@@IgnoreMyChan I agree with you that it is essentially milking the cow, but unfortunately the law is on their side for that.

[@IgnoreMyChan]

So in conclusion... The Doom WADs are easily findable without having to buy them. 😇
