Installation

Extract gzdoom_2026_switch_release.zip to the root of your SD card (sdmc:/switch/gzdoom/). Place IWADs in iwads/ and mods in pwads/.
Extraxt the 'extract.this.too.zip' to the root of your SD card for OTHER necessary files.

I've included my recommended ini file which enabled autorun and turns off vertical look with the right analog stick.

**When running Brutal Doom, mash the A button to get into the game as soon as possible as the fire on the launch screen causes massive lag, once you're actually in the game you can open the menu again and everything will be smooth to navigate.
