WiiDoom needs to be recompiled

Made some progress. I got the controls to work. Doom 1 and Shareware Doom work great, but Doom 2 crashes before even loading the start screen.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but as the "maintainer" of WiiDoom, I recompiled WiiDoom but need some help. I used to simply get a black screen when I tried to start a level, but I have fixed that. However, the controls do not work anymore. Since the last time I worked on it devkitpro has been updated several times. Any advice on how to get the SDL controls working? The WAD chooser screen works fine since that uses WPAD functions, but the game does not respond to the wiimote at all.

thanks Dande, I suppose this is a lost cause.

Well now I gave it a try and I were able to compile it (current sdl-wii needed more libs to linked than the one this one used originally) but it gives me a codedump when I try to boot it.
I think I'm not going to get deeper into this either.

Thanks for you help SifJar. Maybe this is a lost cause.

In that case, we should attempt to contact the developer and get him to update his application.

He has a website here: [wiidevelopment.blogspot.com]

.a files are compiled code called static libraries. The only way to edit them is to edit the source of them and then recompile them. If you have the source, you can use an IDE like PNP or Dev-C++ to edit them.

Yeah, just found that myself, then read your post lol. I'm downloading it now. If this works I'll be back in about half an hour.

EDIT: Well that got me a bit further, but I'm not there yet. I need more libraries, which I'm downloading now.

EDIT: OK I think there's a problem with one of the files in the SDL library. I'll try a different version, see if that helps, otherwise I'll have to manually try to fix it. Anyone know what program can edit .a files?

EDIT: OK, I can't get it to work. Screw it. I don't have an SDHC card and I don't play WiiDoom ;p. Maybe someone more experienced can help, I can't.

maybe from here [code.google.com]

i got that same error btw.

EDIT: This is in the makefile

INCLUDES	:=	$(DEVKITPRO)/SDL-Port/include

But there is no 'SDL-Port' folder in my devkitpro directory. Could this be the problem? If so, where could I get that folder?

ugggh. There's no way I would know how to fix this. Maybe someone on the wiidev knows.

Not that I know of... I can't check right now though so I'm not entirely sure

Re: WiiDoom needs to be recompiled

Arikado — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 14:11:30 +0200

Are there any specific rules in the makefile pointing to folders nonexistent on your pc? (For example change C:/Users/JohnSmith/Documents... to C:/Users/yourname/...)

Well I don't know anything about coding but I'm pretty sure it's the fact that 'd_main.c' does not make 'd_main.o' like it should... I don't know why

DanielHueho — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:02:53 +0200

Maybe (I don't really know) you need some file from original Doom to compile.

I might try to recompile this once I get my new computer. My last one's motherboard is broken and new one hasn't come yet. If someone wants to do it before feel free, but I'm just telling that I can try this once I can.

Re: WiiDoom needs to be recompiled

bg4545 — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:23:25 +0200

I can try to recompile. I'll edit this post with the results.

No luck...

make[1]: *** [d_main.o] Error 1
"make": *** [build] Error 2

It's just a case of having the latest libogc, downloading the source firing up a terminal/command prompt and typing "make" after navigating to the right folder. I should be able to do it tomorrow. maybe someone else will have done it by then, but if not, i'll recompile and upload it for you.

EDIT: OK, I got the source and the latest libogc, but it won't compile. gives a load of errors. dunno why. don't know much about programming, so won't even BEGIN to try fixing it. Sorry

That's not nessacery,

I'm assuming you have an SDHC card, and are having problems running wiidoom off of it.

You can boot Homebrew off a usb these days --> wiibrew.org

So then you won't have to go through the problem of re-compiling everything (If the SDHC Card was the only problem)

Hope the above helped.

this can't be too hard, can someone just tell me how to do it? Don't you just copy and paste the source code in to devkitpro and compile it with the new libogc?

PLEASE HELP, I love this game.

The last recompile was pre-SDHC support. Can someone please update it?!?
