Any Raspberry Pi Zdoom Players Here???

[DutchDoomGuy]

Hey Doomer!!!

I'm very curious and wondering if there are any
Zdoom players here that play on the Raspberry Pi 3B??
For those that dont know or are wondering what it is,
Its a single board computer mostly used for projects and what not but theres also zdoom and other stuff on it...
I mainly play all my doom wads and mods there since my i7 game pc totally fried to hell and dont have the money to replace it but doom mods seem to run very well on the Pi...
Anyway i was just curious..
I hope I'm not alone lol

Part of the reason GZDoom even runs on the Pi is because there are people in the community who do have one, and they do help out with development whether it be through reports or patches - unfortunately, they're not too great in number so GZDoom support on the Pi isn't great, but it's definitely there.

Yeah doom runs on everything now pretty Much..
I just like to see if theres more people like me playing these wads on the pi

That sounds like how you get a situation like the novels.

It's even less so after Raspbian Stretch regressed the VC4 GL driver. The fastest way to play anything on a Pi now is by a form of software-driven surface output, or have some VC4-exclusive port that uses EGL and links to a specific VC4 EGL driver.


The last time I tried Zdoom (note: zdoom zdoom, standard git checkout + make w/ defaults, back when zdoom was still alive) on a Pi I had like 3fps and needed to go into a windowed 320x200 for any performance at all.....? It was a worse experience than the Win9x machines that are disregarded as pathetic here. A Cortex A53 1.2ghz shouldn't run Doom2 map01 like a 486DX2-40.

tl;dr: software rendering is important and you should not ever trust and depend on GL for an accelerated visual (whether it's for 3d or as a surface/buffer/texture to software render on)

Well idk what u did to ur pi but i play on pi latest zdoom stock settinga not overclocked with lots of mods with vsync off i sit between 30-80 fps @ 800x600 resolution and works perfect even brutal doom runs at like 50fps so idk why u are gettig 3fps lol

Its a raspberry pi 3b
