Please try reading the Rockbox manual before asking questions like this, our forum guidelines require it and many common questions are answered there.

i have been searching for at least 5 hours today and i cannot find out wat to do that is why i  asked

[Llorean]

It's in the manual. The PDF manual. It's also on the PluginDoom page in the wiki.

[darr3n]

 Install rockdoom.wad

Create a directory called /.rockbox/doom/ on your player (i.e. F:\.rockbox\doom\ for Windows users - where F: is the drive letter for your DAP) and save the following file in that directory:

    * rockdoom.wad: rockdoom.wad. ---



this does not help me at all

[Llorean]

Alright, it doesn't help you. Why doesn't it help you? If you don't understand it, I can't psychically know which part of it you don't understand.

Please ask specific questions.

[darr3n]

do i need to just make this  "/.rockbox/doom/" the put the 'rockdoom.wad' in it and im done becuase that is what im getting from it and i have tryed it and it does not work

[Llorean]

Please read the full instructions in the PDF manual. You need at a minimum two .wad files in that folder. Rockdoom.wad, and a real one from a copy of the game that you own.

[darr3n]

would you  like to link me to this pdf thing i dont see it anywere

[Llorean]

THE MANUAL. Look on the left side of ANY page on our site, where it says "Manual"

Seriously, how did you install the software without reading the manual?

[darr3n]

i do not see any PDF thing there

[Llorean]

Then use the HTML-zip or the Online version. It's the same document. It's "The Manual".

I've checked what it says, and it very clearly tells that you need to create the folder, among other things, and save certain files into that folder.

[darr3n]

i have read and tryed what the manual says about 7 differnt times/ways and it does not work

[Llorean]

What files did you copy, to where *exactly*, and what exactly is the error message you get?

You *can't* do what's in the manual different ways. There's only one thing to do: copy certain files to a certain place and then run the plugin. If you think there's room for interpretation, please tell me what these seven things you tried are so that I can fix the manual to be more clear.

[darr3n]

this is what the manual is tell me to do


 make the file       /.rockbox/doom

put in the rockdoom.wad

this is exacly what i am getting from the manual and i do not see what im doing wrong
