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.
