Port of Doom64EX, a reverse-engineering project aimed to recreate Doom64 as close as possible with additional modding features.

Features

Hardware accelerated rendering.
Sound and music.
Analog controls.
All other features of Doom 64 EX probably work (except network games).

Installation

Note: Requires game data file from the original Doom 64 to run.

To install and run the game, follow these steps:

Obtain a Doom 64 ROM in either n64, z64 or v64 format. Region and version should not matter, as long as the ROM is unmodified.
Extract the wadgen folder from doom64ex_nx.zip to somewhere on your PC.
Run wadgen/WadGen.exe and point it to your Doom 64 ROM. This should generate two files inside the wadgen folder: DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2.
Extract the switch folder from doom64ex_nx.zip to the root of your SD card.
Copy DOOM64.WAD and DOOMSND.SF2 you got in step 3 to /switch/doom64ex/ on your SD card.

If you already have Doom 64 EX installed on your PC or something, you can just do the last 2 stops right away, using the files from your existing installation.

You can then run the game using hbmenu.

User guide

Notes

Sometimes the music skips a little bit and/or channels go out of sync for a moment, this is most noticeable in the intro.
If you have exFAT, it is recommended to quit the game using the "Quit Game" option in the menu instead of just killing hbmenu.
This was only tested on a US v1.1 Z64 ROM, not sure if every ROM out there works, but most should.

Other versions

Recompiled Doom64EX by Electric1447 to work in FW 12.0.2/AMS 0.19.3.
