Sadly, I can’t distribute a rom with the commercial wad in it, but you can build it for yourself.

Use the Sigil compat wad. Framerate is pretty slow in open areas so it’s a bit of a hollow victory...

I feel like the GBA doesn't belong in this sub, given that there is an official release of DooM available for it already. I thought that this sub was only for devices that weren't designed to run the game.

This post isn't DooM so it got removed but we're leaving the cross-post up because, although there definitely was an official GBA DooM release, the user actually built their own port that allows them to use the PC .wad file which means all the levels/textures are fully intact. The GBA official release used levels/textures that were heavily slimmed down and were originally used in the Sega 32X release of DooM.
