WiiDoom is a Wii port of Doom based on the open source PrBoom engine.

It is compatible with all versions of DOOM, DOOM II, and Final DOOM.

Installation

Requirements:

• A Wii.
• Wii remote and Nunchuk.
• WiiDoom (available via the Homebrew Browser).
• Some method of booting Wii homebrew (i.e. Homebrew Channel).
• Doom 1/2/Final WAD file.

Instruction (via Homebrew Channel):

• Copy the WiiDoom directory (inside the apps directory) into the apps folder of your SD card.
• Copy any Doom WAD files (doom.wad, doom2.wad, etc..) into the /apps/wiidoom/data/ directory.
• Leave the prboom.wad file in the directory.
• Copy any pwads (add-on levels) into the pwads directory, which is inside the /apps/wiidoom/data/ directory.

The Wad Loader runs first, allowing you to select the version of doom (IWAD) and any (optional) add-on levels (PWads).

Select at least the IWAD and the start button will appear. Select Start and Doom loads up.

Note: The official WiiDoom seems to crash if you try to load DOOM1.WAD (the included shareware Doom, it did run the standard DOOM.WAD though). Try the WiiDoom-fork version if you encounter any issues.

User guide

Supported IWADS

IWADs (or internal WAD files) contain levels, sounds, textures, and sprite data necessary to play the game. An IWAD represents the unmodified base content of the game. The following commercial wads are known to work:

• Original Doom and Ultimate Doom (shareware and full).
• Doom II.
• Final Doom.
• TNT: Evilution.
• The Plutonia Experiment.

PWAD usage

Multiple pwads are supported, using the same logic as the original Doom engine.

The order you select them in the Wad Loader will be the exact order they're sent to the engine.

Check the add-on level's instructions to determine if any special order is needed.

WiiDoom only looks at the .wad files in the pwads directory, so you can store the .txt files that accompany the PWADs in the same directory.

Controls

If the Nunchuk is not working when WiiDoom first loads, then simply unplug it and plug it back in.
