Thx for your reply. Half of them do load on my powerful android phone and I have no problem playing them but I guess a super card or overdrive is the way forward if I want them all to play especially on native machines

Also are there any other GBA wads available not on Bazooka face list, if so where do I find them. Thx again for your knowledge
I meant that you should use PrBoom for Android (for example, this: https://github.com/7dog123/Prboom-Android
) instead of a PrBoom emulator on a gba emulator for Android: then you could use hundreds of compatible wads, Instead of a handful. The port in this thread is for those using real hardware (gba/GBA SP/DS phat-lite) via flashcarts.

Regarding other conversions for GBA, I don't know of any, apart from the failed attempt to port Freedoom to GBA, but I don't remember the thread title.

OMG.... OOOMMMMGGGG.... Sorry.. I just can't contain my excitement!

For someone, who played Doom, all his live and still does.... and probably will, until the end of days, and as someone who looooves the GBA so much... this is a dream come true for me!!

I downloaded and tested a few of the versions available here and I gotta say, I am floored.

Bazooka_Face has my deepest appreciation for all the work, put into these. For me, this is like every one of these conversions is a new GBA game in itself. Of course, it's all still Doom. But damn!

It is really sad, that she or he seems to be inactive, but it's worth the world to me, all the work that has already been done. I will probably have years of additional fun with all these mods on the go and my trusty GBA :D

Thank you sooo much again for these and I hope you are doing well !!

I share your appreciation of him/her. It is very unfortunate that he/she is no longer active here. Within a few days he/she converted several wads, much to the delight of GBA/NDS owners, and then quietly disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace of him/herself. If that stated was his/her real age (however unlikely) then perhaps this was his/her swan song, I fear. Good luck wherever you are :) or, at worst, R.I.P. :sad:

Hey guys, is anyone listening? It would be great if some developer could complete the author's praiseworthy work by converting Final Doom ( TNT and  Plutonia) for GBA PrBoom. Both episodes, clearly vanilla wads, should run smoothly on GBA. With these titles, all 4 official classic episodes would be available on Nintendo's little old console. Anyway I cast the hook, and hopefully some fish will fall for the bait, sooner or later, God willing. 🙏

I recently stumbled upon this video on YT. I don't really understand half of it, cause I'm just a noob who pushes buttons on a gameboy, but it seemed to me, as if it could be related thematically to this thread.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man throws her into the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
