Additional Information

• When you run DS Doom for the first time files called 'prboom.cfg' and 'tranmap.dat' are created in the root of your card.

'prboom.cfg' is the main configuration file and can be edited with a text editor like Windows Notepad. Useful entries include:

server "192.168.0.1:5030" //the IP of the server that you will connect to if you select network game during start up
gen_screen_swap (0/1) // setting this to 1 swaps both DS screens
gen_console_enable (0/1) // disables automap and shows console window
gen_cheat_enable (0/1) // enables Cheats (god, all ammo/keys).

DO NOT remove any of the other entries in 'prboom.cfg' otherwise the game will not start.

• Game saves are stored in the root of your card with names similar to: 'prbmsav0.dsg'
