This is a Vita port of Chocolate Doom, which is a source port of Doom.
It supports the original Doom games, as well as Heretic, Hexen and Strife, and adds some extra features while staying as close to the vanilla game(s) as possible.
Install the VPK.
Extract data.zip to ux0: (root of memory card).
Copy your IWAD files (see table below) to ux0:/data/chocolate/iwads.

- Files for games marked with * are already included in data.zip.
- chex.deh is required for Chex to work correctly.
- FreeDoom is a free and open source recreation of the original Doom 1 & 2 IWADs, but it is not 100% compatible with Chocolate Doom.
PWADs (and custom game files)
Put all custom files for a given game into ux0:/data/chocolate/pwads/<gamedir>, where <gamedir> is
doomfor all Doom games.hereticfor Heretic and Shareware Heretic.hexenfor Hexen.strifefor Strife.
Then use the Custom tab in the launcher to select any custom content you want.
Recording demos
When Record demo is set to On, the demo is saved to ux0:/data/chocolate/tmp/mydemo.lmp.
Notes
If the game closes without producing a crash dump or an error message, a file named ux0:/data/chocolate/i_error.log should be generated, which contains error messages.
The IP address that appears in the "Game address" field of the "Net" tab of the launcher when you run it is your Vita's LAN IP. You can use this if autojoin doesn't work properly.
To join a game by IP, select "Game address", enter the address, then hit "Connect to address".
Netgames will only work correctly if all players have selected the same game and set of custom files (stuff in the "Files" tab). PWAD order does matter. The game will complain upon connecting if you did something wrong.
The "Merge file" option is the launcher version of the -merge command line option. See the Chocolate Doom wiki for more details.
You can specify custom command line parameters in a response file, then load it using the "Override response file" option. Don't forget to select the correct game.
By popular request some of the static render limits (MAXVISPLANES, MAXVISSPRITES, MAXDRAWSEGS) have been quadrupled in this fork to accomodate for SIGIL.
For more information, see the Chocolate Doom wiki, the README and the issues list.
