DOOM v1.1.1 by lowbit

Runs id's linuxdoom-1.10 source, drawn on the GPU, with analog sticks, rumble and the old FM music synthesised from the game's own instruments. The shareware episode, Knee-Deep in the Dead, is included. Add your own DOOM.WAD or DOOMU.WAD (episode 4 included if yours has it), DOOM2.WAD, TNT.WAD or PLUTONIA.WAD for DOOM, DOOM II and Final DOOM, or the Freedoom WADs. Files from the 2024 DOOM + DOOM II re-release work as well.

It needs kstuff and ShadowMountPlus. The developer lists firmware 13.00.

There are three ways to add games. In the game list choose Add games, then Send from PC or phone, and drop the files on the page the screen shows, or scan its QR code. You can also type a link on the console keyboard to download from. Or copy the files to /data/homebrew/PPSA99666/wads/. ZIP, 7Z and RAR archives are fine: it takes out the WADs it knows and skips the rest.

R2 fires, L2 runs, Cross or Square uses things, and L1 and R1 change weapon. Triangle or the touchpad opens the automap. Read This in the main menu shows the full list. Each game keeps its own saves.

Sending games from a PC or phone now keeps full speed with large archives, and going back during a transfer no longer freezes the screen.

What's new

• Large files at full speed. A big archive used to slow down the longer it ran: the 643 MB DOOM + DOOM II collection 7Z fell to 0.4 MB/s past 400 MB and took over ten minutes. It now arrives at the network's speed the whole way, about a minute on a wired PS5, and its games are added a few seconds later.
• Circle stops a transfer at once. Going back while a file was arriving froze the screen until the file was done. It now stops right away and removes the partial file.
• No stalls in the browser. Browsers open spare connections, and the console waited on a quiet one for up to 30 seconds before answering anything else. It now answers whichever connection asks first, and replies no longer wait on Windows' delayed acknowledgements.
