====== Doom3 ======

Previously known as Boom3, dhewm3 is a Doom 3 source port which brings many fixes and support for various hardware. It is based on Doom 3 game released in 2004.

This system scrapes metadata for the "pc" group(s) and loads the ''doom3'' set from the currently selected theme, if available.

Prior to v41, the system's name was ''boom3''. It is grouped with the "ports" group of systems.

==== Quick reference ====

  * **Folder:** ''roms/doom3/''
  * **BIOS required?** None.

^ Emulators ^ Accepted ROM formats ^ ROM path ^ Notes ^
| [[#libretro:_boom3|libretro: boom3]] | ''.d3'' | ''roms/doom3'' | Prior to v41, path is ''/userdata/roms/boom3'' and file ends with ''.boom3'' |
| [[#dhewm3|dhewm3]] | ''.d3'' | ''roms/doom3'' | Starting v41 |
===== BIOS =====

No Doom 3 emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

===== ROMs =====

Place your Doom3 ROMs in ''/userdata/roms/doom3''.

Example file structure:

<code>
└── roms/
    └── doom3/
        ├── base/
        │   ├── base.boom3 (for boom3 core, if prior to v41)
        │   ├── pak000.pk4
        │   ├── pak001.pk4
        │   ├── pak002.pk4
        │   ├── pak003.pk4
        │   ├── pak004.pk4
        │   ├── pak005.pk4
        │   ├── pak006.pk4
        │   ├── pak007.pk4
        │   └── pak008.pk4
        ├── d3xp/
        │   ├── d3xp.boom3 (for boom3 core)
        │   ├── pak000.pk4 
        │   └── pak001.pk4
        ├── Doom 3.d3 (starting v41)
        └── Doom 3 - Resurrection of Evil.d3 (starting v41)
</code>

The ''Doom 3.d3'' file should contain the path to the base game. - i.e. ''base/pak000.pk4''

Similarly ''Doom 3 - Resurrection of Evil.d3'' should be - ''d3xp/pak000.pk4''
