Playing Classic Doom on Funtoo
A big upgrade to Funtoo's Doom-playing ability has been merged into `next`!
This page will document how to use it.
DoomRunner
DoomRunner is a launcher that makes it easy to set up profiles for combinations of the various source ports, IWADs/PWADs, and mods. It generates command line arguments for the source port, starts it, and offers a way to kill it if it misbehaves.

Source ports
- games-engines/gzdoom

Music
Note: To make the MIDI music work in various sourceports, it is necessary to set USE="midi timidity" for media-libs/sdl2-mixer. Then remember to run `eselect timidity set 1`.
