Plays\nDoom, Doom II, Final Doom, Heretic, Hexen, Chex Quest, Hacx, REKKR and the\nFreedoom IWADs from one binary. The profiled tag is v0.29.4. v0.29.3 reads\nthe same files: between the two tags d_main.c, m_misc.c and\nMUSIC/flplayer.c are unchanged in what they open, and SDL/i_system.c only\nswitches to a bounded snprintf in the path search.\n\ndsda-doom.wad holds the engine's own lumps (the WAD_DATA name,\nprboom2/CMakeLists.txt:29). M_LoadDefaults requires it through\nI_RequireFile, which aborts with \"Unable to find required file\" when the\nsearch fails (prboom2/src/m_misc.c:817-818,\nprboom2/src/SDL/i_system.c:622-629). D_DoomMainSetup then adds it as an\nautoload source ahead of the IWAD (prboom2/src/d_main.c:2021), and its\nlumps are tagged LUMP_PRBOOM so a PWAD can override them\n(prboom2/src/w_wad.c:170-178). The tree ships the inputs, not the file:\ndata/CMakeLists.txt builds it with the dsda_rdatawad tool from the raw\npalette, lumps, PPM graphics and WAV sounds under data/.\n\nEvery file is located by I_FindFileInternal, which tries in order the\nexecutable directory, the config directory (the executable directory again\non Windows, prboom2/src/SDL/i_system.c:244-247), the working directory,\n$DOOMWADDIR, the build-time DOOMWADDIR, the build-time path of\ndsda-doom.wad, the SDL base path and ../share/games/doom under it,\n$HOME/doom, $HOME, $XDG_DATA_HOME/games/doom, every $XDG_DATA_DIRS entry\nunder games/doom then doom, and last every entry of $DOOMWADPATH. Existence\nis the only test, and the requested extension is appended only when the\nname as written is missing (prboom2/src/SDL/i_system.c:471-620).\n\nThe IWAD is -iwad when given, else the first name of standard_iwads found\non that path (prboom2/src/d_main.c:163-191, 1152-1189). A GAMEINFO lump in\na loaded PWAD can name the IWAD instead, and a PWAD with Doom 1 maps\nswitches the search to episode_iwads (prboom2/src/d_main.c:195-209,\n1850-1904). Nothing found stops startup with \"IdentifyVersion: IWAD not\nfound\" (prboom2/src/d_main.c:1906-1910). CheckIWAD reads the lump\ndirectory and sets the game mode from the map lumps it counts, so a WAD\nunder any name plays (prboom2/src/d_main.c:933-1043). AddIWAD takes the\ngame from the file name: heretic.wad and heretic1.wad select Heretic,\nhexen.wad selects Hexen, and the Chex, REKKR, Hacx, TNT, Plutonia, French\nDoom II and Freedoom missions are keyed on their names too\n(prboom2/src/d_main.c:1048-1130). No hash of any IWAD is read.\n\nHexen needs the v1.1 IWAD: a hexen.wad without MAP05 is refused as the\nshareware release, one without CLUS1MSG as v1.0\n(prboom2/src/d_main.c:2046-2057). nerve.wad is a PWAD loaded with -file,\nand its name alone switches the mission to No Rest for the Living\n(prboom2/src/d_main.c:899-902).\n\nMIDI music goes through the fluidsynth player by default\n(prboom2/src/dsda/configuration.c:742-745, prboom2/src/SDL/i_sound.c:1059-1070).\nIt loads snd_soundfont when that setting names one, empty by default,\nand otherwise the SNDFONT lump, which dsda-doom.wad carries from\ndata/lumps/soundfont/sndfont.lmp (prboom2/src/MUSIC/flplayer.c:275-303,\nprboom2/src/dsda/configuration.c:750-752, prboom2/data/CMakeLists.txt:59).\nNo soundfont file is read in the default configuration. The OPL player\ntakes its instruments from the GENMIDI lump of the IWAD.\n\nRetroPie installs dsda-doom.wad beside the binary, the first directory\nsearched, and launches \"dsda-doom -iwad \" with DOOMWADDIR set to its\nports/doom directory.\n", "profiled_date": "2026-10-20", "source": "https://github.com/dsda-org/dsda-doom", "source_commit": "e443ff7a3e6090a1ff92ad7a426916c4fd35ecc5", "systems": [ "doom", "heretic", "hexen", "chex" ], "type": "standalone" } } ], "kind": "emulators", "schema_version": 1 }
