/vr/ - Retro Games

I used to play a bit of Doom with prboom, but a lot of wads aren't compatible with it.

Finally installed gzdoom, compiled and works fine on Gentoo unstable with open-source AMDGPU/mesa driver. I had fluidsynth installed and it compiled with support for it, but music wasn't working until I figured out that I needed to install soundfont and select fluidsynth from the audio options in gzdoom.

Development seems really active. I even wrote a little script to graphically select WADs and start gzdoom.

#!/bin/bash
wad=$(zenity --file-selection --filename="$HOME/.config/gzdoom/WADS/")
cd "$HOME/.build/gzdoom-2.3.2/build"
./gzdoom -file "$wad"
