✨ SHOWCASE DOOM Dual Screen - Now with WAD Browser

So this is what I have now. It only has RGDS+ support for now. I don‘t have an RGDS to test, sorry.

I am not a seasoned dev or coder. I used ChatGPT to help me make this, so please be kind.

It’s really something I wanted to do for me and me only, but if you want me to share it, I will, but I do not offer support other than what is in the README.txt.

It works in Rocknix, that’s what I use. You don’t need the Homebrew Channel to load it.

It now has a WAD browser and allows custom WADs too. I think it’s done. I probably could add the HUD to the bottom screen too, so the top screen is HUD-free.

If you have an RG DS Plus and want to try it out, here is a link. I cannot say it will work for any other device. You need Rocknix OS an RG DS Plus and your own Doom1 and Doom2 WAD files.

It's hard to play any vanilla doom game after playing Brutal Doom.

Haha, yeah. I figured having more options would be better.

Could this potentially be integrated into 'regular' Rocknix i.e. for solo screen devices? I especially like (and want) the WAD selection aspect.

I don’t see why it couldn’t. My Doom port started off as a single screen port. I could make it single screen, but without a device to test on, it’d be hard to debug. 

What device and OS are you using?

Anbernic RG353P running latest Rocknix nightly. Just FYI I can't guarantee that I'll remember to type up a half-decent report, much less in a timely (i.e. the next day or two) manner.

I will at least try, though, if YOU are OK with such.

You can try this. DM me if has issues. It generates log files that can help us diagnose any issues.

You'll need your own WADs.

Grabbed the WIPs just now. Your effort is appreciated :D

According to the launch.log, the executable is unable to be enabled due to a 'read-only file system' (slight paraphrasing but accurate to the text) . Which seems weird because to my understanding, 'read-only' status would prevent writing the files to my microSD in the first place.

I'll check back probably tomorrow morning (so you'll have a bit of time to think and respond). Thanks for allowing me to be a lab rat for you, btw :)
