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 It is very unfortunate that he/she is no longer active here.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.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

    @SylverReZ where do u lurk
  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
