Quake 2 / Heretic on your PSP
greg | June 19, 2005
After the Duke Nukem 3D WAD hack, many more have surfaced now. You’re now able to play Quake 2 & Heretic on your PSP using the DOOM PSP release by Lantus.
- Simply download these hacked WAD files
- Copy QUAKE2.WAD/HERETIC.WAD to X:\PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP
- Rename QUAKE2.WAD or HERETIC.WAD to DOOM2.WAD
- Fire up the Doom EBOOT.PBP using direct boot (1.0 firmware) or the swap hack (1.50 firmware)
Unfortunately because Doom looks for the DOOM2.WAD file in DOOM-PSP, this renders you unable to have multiple WAD files loading off the same memory stick. To aid in this problem, Cpasjuste from psphacker.com, has written a custom EBOOT.PBP that will allow you to select between each WAD file. To use:
- Download Simple Doom/Duke File Selector (SDFS)
- Extract all WAD files anywhere on your memory stick
- Place the SDFS EBOOT.PBP on your memory stick i.e.) X:\PSP\GAME\SDFS
- Boot SDFS
From here you’re able to browse to your WAD files and press “O” which will automatically copy and rename the selected WAD to DOOM2.WAD in PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP. After successful copy and rename, return to the PSP Game menu and load up the DOOM EBOOT.PBP.

just what I what I was looking for! Cpasjuste is a god ^_^
so many games…so little time. keep ‘em coming guys. great work! i may be a programming b00n, but i appreciate the work these ppl do. hack-a-tastic :)
dosnt work for me
what does this do
bob read the damn desciption and u will know
What the hell i cant get this to work someone please explain to me exactly (in detail) how to make this work. Thanks
i treid everything to get quake 2 or heretic or the SDFS to work im thinking the swaploit dosnt work with that
It works fine for me. I tried it all before posting this article. It’s not very difficult to get working… However Quake 2 froze up when I walked through the door way. Heretic worked fine, as did Duke 3d.
Do this; get Doom working first. Download v0.02 from our Downloads area.
After you’re able to successfully play Doom. Download a WAD file - Heretic, Duke 3d or Quake 2.
Copy the WAD file to your memory stick in the DOOM-PSP directory. i.e.) X:\PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP
Rename the WAD file to “DOOM2.WAD”
Boot up the DOOM EBOOT. It will load the WAD file you renamed.
SDFS just simplies this process for you, by automatically copying & renaming the selected WAD.
i got duke and heretic to work but the SDFS dosnt work
i got duke and heretic to work but the SDFS dosnt work it just starts up doom when i try the program and exit
But could you please expline hoe to get SDFS to work so i dont have to rename the files myself, ive tried all 4 of the WADS and they all work for me, i juss dont like the hassel of renaming them myself so if someone could explain how to get SDFS to work that would be great.
Ok, dump any or all the WADS to any folder on your memory stick. I’d recommend in the DOOM-PSP directory.
So you have X:\PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP\HERETIC.WAD or X:\PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP\DUKEGP.WAD, etc…
Now, setup SDFS. I have a 1.50 so I had to use the swap trick. I set it up in X:\PSP\GAME\SDFS
I booted SDFS, browsed to PSP\GAME\DOOM-PSP, and selected a WAD file. Once you’ve selected the WAD, press “O” and wait. Once it’s done, press “Home” and go back to the PSP game menu. Now boot the DOOM PSP EBOOT and it will load the WAD file you selected previously using SDFS. With 1.50 it’s a bit of a pain since you need to swap twice in total to play whatever game - the initial WAD selection; then booting the DOOM EBOOT.
I don’t know how clear that is…
number 12 thats exacly what i did but it loads the original doom instead of the one i selected
i cant even get my Snes9x to run on my psp
i got the gameboy/color and NES emulators to work..
but i cant get the sega master system and Snes9x to work
anybody might know whats wrong ?
im not complaining or anything, all these hacks are great, but how comes they all run kinda slow? i mean… the psp must be much more powerful then a snes or mega drive? even with the cpu running at 333MHz some games are still pretty laggy? will this be fixed in time or is it because it cant be read from the memory stick that fast??
What about it says you have to creat a text file and name it DOOM2.WAD in the readme file, where do you put that Doom2.wad text file that you just made. I think thats the part thats messing me up
hello?
any one there Got somein So big
i got some files that get step by step on how to run homebrew on psp 1.5o to 1.52 need lots of help…
First of all #18 slow down… and use the correct words with plain English!
You shouldnt need to create any text files…but if you just wanna play one more wad. Do like #8 said. As for the SDFS issues, I think #12 had it right on.
#14 try putting everything that came in the SNES/SMS zip file into the second memory stick along with the roms. Make sure your folders on both memory cards are the same ie: X:\PSP\GAME\SNES on memory card 1 and X:\PSP\GAME\SNES on memory card 2. Than put the roms with .smc extensions into the SNES folder of the second memory card. Look, I hope this helps all that are confused. I pointed out posts that were relevant and gave some of my own advice.
Glad to see that things are making their way for the PSP. Alls we need now is to get a cracked bios update so that we can freely play Doom/2/Duke Nuken/Quake 2/Heretic! Once that happens, it spells Doom for the DS!
AHH JEEEZE but every time i try and do exactly what # 12 wrote it still boots Doom1 EVERY TIME??? HELP ME
yeah same problem as #20
Ive tried everything the insruction say and it didnt work. I think the problem is within renaiming the text to doom2.wad. My guess is what your actually doing is just making a file name “DOOM2.WAD.TXT” to fix this just open note pad then go to save as and save it as “DOOM2.WAD”
DONT FROGET THE QUOTATIONS WHEN SAVING
BUT WHERE DO YOU PUT THAT FREEKING TEXT FILE THAT YOU MAKE…
So you put the quotes when saving?????!
im gussing this is one that requires the two mem sticks and v1.50?
Hey, can u quick save and quick load?
It appears this doesnt work with the kxploit? as the directory it is trying to copy the wad to needs to have a % on the end?
I NEED HELP WITH A PROBLEM THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I START MY DOOM GAME ON PSP IS SAYS W_INITFILES: NO FILES FOUND
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN AND WHAT DO I DO TO FIX THIS
How do you get doom on in the first place my psp dosnt understand .rar files and doom (when i download it from this site) just comes as a .rar what do i do with the file. My computer cant even open .rar files’_’
there is something wrong with this wad files while been in rar format i cant extract them
When my doom comes up it just says “GAME MODE INTERMIDIATE PUBLIC DOOM-v1.10 /V_INIT:ALLOCATE SCREENS
M_LOAD DEFAULTS: LOAD SYSTEM DEFAULTS
Z_INIT: INIT ZONE MEMORY ALLOCATION DAEMON
W_INIT: WAD FILES
W_INIT: NO FILES FOUND”
hmmmm dont know what that means but i do know its not working why dont PSP-Hacks just have all the files ready for you so you can put it rite on your computer without having to change and alter files to get it to work. I have tried everything this page says and so far not good. please post back.
I’m having the same problem as 32,31, and 29 HELP!
why would u need 2 mem cards i have two a 32 and a 128 but what u need both for???
First get doom working, the download is on this site from the download section. If you have a version 1.5 PSP you need to do the KXploit so you get 2 directories DOOM-PSP, and DOOM-PSP% **THESE ARE HARDCODED INTO THE GAME SO THEY HAVE TO BE THAT** copy them to ms0:/PSP/GAME/ Then dump the WAD files into anything you want… i have mine is ms0:/PSP/GAME/DOOM-PSP/WADS
I can’t get SDFS to work right, so i just manually rename whatever WAD i want to play to DOOM2.WAD (keep it in ms0:/PSP/GAME/DOOM-PSP/WADS for ver3)
#30…you have to use an extraction program like WinRAR. You can get a trial version on the website. Just search for WinRAR.
help, i have done all tis but it starts to load it stops and say, TextureNumForName: SW1BROCM not found???????????
ok i got quake 2 working…but that wasnt wuake 2 that was like quake+doom+retardedness
oh yeah and if you guys are to stupid to get it working should you be fucking with your psp in the first place
