PrBoom+ 3DS is a direct port of PrBoom+ 2.6.66 with extra added enhancements exclusive to the system. It provides most of the capabilities found in desktop PrBoom+, only a few unsupported renderer and networking features have been removed.

In addition, all video modes apart from 8-bit are supported. By default, the GPU-accelerated OpenGL mode is enabled, though the other software-rendering modes are also available should you wish to fall back on them (so far, all modes produce roughly similar performance, with OpenGL being moderately faster)

Installation

How to install

To set up and run PrBoom+ on your Nintendo 3DS, follow these steps:

Dump the DSP firm to ensure sound compatibility.
Download the prboom-plus-3DS.zip file and the prboom-plus.3dsx/cia file from the release page.
Extract the contents of the ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
- If you're planning to run the .3dsx version, copy prboom-plus.3dsx to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus.
- If you're planning to run the .cia version, copy prboom-plus.cia to any location on the SD card and install it using FBI.
Obtain the WAD file for the game you want to run and copy it to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus/. Make sure to only have one game WAD in this folder at a time.
Open the Homebrew Launcher (for .3dsx version) or Home Menu (for .cia version) on your Nintendo 3DS and select PrBoom+ to launch the game.

PWADs/Dehacked files

If you have any PWADs (custom game files) or Dehacked files that you want to apply to the game, follow these additional steps:

Run the game at least once to create the prboom-plus.cfg file, then quit the game.
On your PC, copy your PWADs/DEHs to /3ds/PrBoom-Plus.
Open the prboom-plus.cfg file in a text editor and fill out the exact filenames of the PWADs/DEHs in the wadfile_X and dehfile_X config entries, including the file extension.
Save the config file and run the game again. The mods should now take effect, assuming PrBoom+ supports them.
