PS3 Developer Samson is back dropping more content for the scene to enjoy. This time around he has ported "Star Wars Doom" a Total Conversion Mod of the classic Doom series. Using Robo Hobo's port of prBoom and the work of the original modders. Overall this is a great port that includes background music

some errors exist in a few levels (see below). While we are talking about prBoom, I myself have been running many Doom total conversion mods on RetroArch's libretro port of prBoom. See below of a list of conversion mods that i have had running including a cover pack for multiMAN.

Samson from ps3hax forums;

Hay guys I am back with my latest retro offerings and this ones a corker, its been sitting on my desktop for a good few months now so i used my 1000 post as a reason to get it finished and packed, created a long time ago in a scene far far away(back in the 90's).

Star Wars Doom

Star Wars Doom 0.01.pkg

I used prboom plus changing the game folder path and freedoom.iwad as a base and built up the star wars files found here and merged them into the iwad, i've also included the dark hour doom weapon pack in options/general just delete the 1 at the end, and restart.

May not work on sd tvs just edit the .cfg in:
dev_hdd0/game/HBDM90000/USRDIR/.prboom-plus/prboom-plus.cfg
screen_resolution "1280x720" and change it to:
screen_resolution "640x480"

PS3 level list
Level One - Princess Leia's Blockade Runner Decks One and Two
Level Two - Princess Leia's Blockade Runner Decks Three and Four
Level Three - Death Star Chasm and Technical Stations
Level Four - Death Star Detention Level and Security Station
Level Five - Tatooine Surface
Level Six - Imperial Attack on Hoth
Level Seven - Endor Surface
Level Eight - Confrontation with Vader
Level Nine - Hall of Legends
Level Ten - Dagobah Surface ???
Level Eleven- ????
Level Twelve- ????
Level Thirteen - CRASHES TO XMB

if you want to cheat and skip levels hold R3 until the OSK comes up and click Page down, hold R3 again to reselect joystick.

I know there is a few levels missing/mixed up but it does make a nice little game also it searches usb root for any other .iwad files, all credit go's out to the the old doom modders behind star wars doom, and Robo Hobo for prboom port.

enjoy

UPDATE #3

These are some other Doom/Doom 2 mods & Total Conversions pete_uk and I (STLcardsWS) have been able to get running on RetroArch's libretro port of prBoom. I also included a Cover Pack that I have made for each conversion mod that can be used in multiMAN. (I used Mclub's Doom Cover in his multiMAN cover packs and edited it for each conversion)

TIP: When switching PrBoom WADS in RetroArch make sure each time you select "change libretro core" first and then select prBoom even if that core is already selected to avoid a bug that freezes the PS3 system.

These covers are an edit of Mclub's Doom cover in his multiMAN cover packs.

FYI: I haven't tested all these from start to finish so problems may arise. The screens are all from the PS3.

is that like a widescreen mod? it doesn't look stretched and i've only ever played it in 4:3

All the mods i posted play in widescreen. As well as Samson's.

oh, when i played chex quest and the like, they were all 4:3. I don't think i was squishing it cause i don't remember it looking awkward, but maybe i was.

Found some more playable Wads. Will upload theses here in a couple hours, need to test a few more and make these into one pack with all these mods. had to do some minor patching on the earth one.

Screens of them playing on the PS3 via RetroArch

Added above to download pack in main thread. There are many Doom half-life mods. (80MB worth)

You have to find doom 1 and doom 2 wads (THEY MUST BE THE LATEST REVISIONS) if you have older ones i have included an auto-ptacher as well as a Checker tool to see what version they are. (Doom2 should be 1.9 not sure what the latest should be on Doom 1 but the tool will tell you)

any of them total conversions? if so, please list.

Most are i think. But not 100% sure which ones...

I have tested so many, and some places have them labeled improper. Alot of these i have tested all the way through so may be issues i am unaware about.

I would still consider myself a bit of a noob withalot of prboom stuff. Just been testing alot of wads.

the screenshot you posted looks just like pic replacements, not quite like chex quest. i think that's why i like chex quest a lot, it's a really hq total conversion. then again, it was supposed to be well made.
