About PrBoom+
You need a Doom WAD of your own. Copy the contents of PrBoom-Plus-3DS.zip to the root of the SD card, then put your WAD in /3ds/PrBoom-Plus/. Keep only one game WAD in that folder at a time. Sound needs a DSP firmware dump.
It does nearly everything desktop PrBoom+ does, minus networking and a few renderer features. OpenGL mode is on by default, and the software modes are there too, all except 8-bit. The touch screen works as a mouse or a keyboard. The author says it runs well on a New 3DS and decent-ish on an older one.
For PWADs or DeHackEd files, run the game once so it writes prboom-plus.cfg. Copy your files into the same folder and put their exact file names in the wadfile_X and dehfile_X entries. Buttons are remapped with the joyb_ entries in that file.
MIDI music plays through Timidity with the eawpats instruments from the zip, so it won't sound like the original. The author hasn't found a way round that yet.
