Doom64EX Classic Guide

Requirements

• You will need a legally owned Doom 64 N64 ROM in .z64 format.
• You will also need the Windows release, as it includes WadGen.exe:

https://github.com/caorthann-celt/Doom64EX-SDL2/releases/tag/v2.6

• Only the USA doom.z64 ROM has been tested. Other ROM versions may work, but have not been checked.

Generate the Base Files

• Unzip the Windows release folder.
• Double click WadGen.exe.
• Select your legally owned Doom 64 N64 .z64 ROM in the file explorer.
• Run the conversion.
• If it errors, try running it again.

Once successful, WadGen.exe will create:

DOOM64.WAD
DOOMSND.SF2

Internal Storage Setup

• Launch the Xbox app once.
• Close the app.
• This creates the app's LocalState folder.
• Open the Xbox Device Portal file browser.
• Place both generated files here:

Doom64ex/LocalState/

The folder should contain:

Doom64ex/LocalState/DOOM64.WAD
Doom64ex/LocalState/DOOMSND.SF2

External Storage Setup

• Create the following folder on your external drive:

E:/doom64ex/

• Place both generated files in that folder.

The folder should contain:

E:/doom64ex/DOOM64.WAD
E:/doom64ex/DOOMSND.SF2

Custom WAD Setup

Custom WADs can be placed in either of these folders:

LocalState/wads/
E:/doom64ex/wads/

• Choose Custom WAD from the launcher.
• The left list shows every WAD found in both locations.
• Press A to add a WAD to the load order on the right.
• Press X to remove a WAD from the load order.
• Press Menu to start the game with the selected load order.

For multiple WADs, add them in the order you want them loaded.

To move a selected WAD through the load order:

• Hold View.
• Press D-pad Up or D-pad Down.

Control Settings

Everything can be changed in:

Options > Controls > Bindings > Gamepad

This page also includes separate Right Stick X and Right Stick Y sensitivity sliders, vertical look, and invert look.

The left stick is analogue:

• a light push walks
• a full push runs

Autorun is mainly useful for the D-pad if you choose to change the movement binds.

Useful Settings

• Change the resolution in Options > Video.
• To remove the mouse cursor in the top-left corner, go to Options > Setup and turn Show Cursor off.
• Leave the frame rate set to Capped.
• Smooth currently causes problems and is best avoided.

Saves and Settings

Saves and settings stay in LocalState.
