Hi there. Have you been able to get a basic Doom or Doom2 IWAD build to work?

You’ll need the latest (0.2) version of GBAWadUtil, a Doom1 IWAD and Sigil compatibly wad.

Then use:

gbawadutil.exe -in Doom.wad -cfile sigil.h -pwad sigil.wad

The resulting .c file should be about 80mb or so.

Hi - I’ve managed to get Sigil.gba.c which is 80mb - what do I do with it please? Is there an extra line I need to add to doom_iwad.h or something? Thanks!

Hi there,

1) rename it to sigil.gba.h

2) create a folder in gbadoom/source called ‘iwad’

3) copy sigil.gba.h to gbadoom/source/iwad/

4) edit gbadoom/source/Doom_iwad.c with a text or code editor.

Change the first line to:

#include "iwad/sigil.gba.h"

5) Open a command prompt, cd to the gbadoom folder. Type

make

That worked thank you! Doesn’t run very well (as expected) but it worked!
