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

Emulators Accepted ROM formats ROM path Notes
libretro: boom3 .d3 roms/doom3 Prior to v41, path is /userdata/roms/boom3 and file ends with .boom3
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: 

└── 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)

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
