DOOM for PS5 v1.1.1

@lowbit lowbit released this 06 Oct 08:10

Sending games from a PC or phone now keeps full speed with large archives, and going back during a transfer no longer freezes the screen.

The send screen on the TV, receiving the DOOM + DOOM II collection 7Z The same transfer on the page in a PC browser

What's new

  • Large files at full speed. A big archive used to slow down the longer it ran: the 643 MB DOOM + DOOM II collection 7Z fell to 0.4 MB/s past 400 MB and took over ten minutes. It now arrives at the network's speed the whole way, about a minute on a wired PS5, and its games are added a few seconds later.
  • Circle stops a transfer at once. Going back while a file was arriving froze the screen until the file was done. It now stops right away and removes the partial file.
  • No stalls in the browser. Browsers open spare connections, and the console waited on a quiet one for up to 30 seconds before answering anything else. It now answers whichever connection asks first, and replies no longer wait on Windows' delayed acknowledgements.

Send your games from a PC or phone, controller prompts throughout, and short links to folders.

What's new

  • Send from PC or phone. Add games... has a new first option. It shows an address and a QR code; open it in a browser on the same network and drop your WAD, ZIP, 7Z or RAR files, or whole folders, on the page. Each file shows its progress, and both the page and the TV show what was added. Archives are unpacked and then deleted. The console only accepts files while that screen is open.
  • DualSense prompts. Doom's questions and the launcher show the PlayStation buttons instead of keyboard keys ("Cross yes, Circle no", "press Cross to quit").
  • Controls page. Read This! now shows the controller controls instead of id's keyboard help, and DOOM II has the entry too.
  • Short links to folders. A download link that redirects to a folder now lists and imports its files.

Install

  1. Download PPSA99666.zip and check it against PPSA99666.zip.sha256.
  2. Extract it and copy the PPSA99666 folder to /data/homebrew/ (FTP, ps5upload or USB). Copying over 1.0.x keeps your games, saves and settings.
  3. ShadowMountPlus registers it within a few seconds and DOOM appears on the home screen.

Needs a jailbroken PS5 with kstuff and ShadowMountPlus. Tested on firmware 13.00.

Add The Ultimate DOOM, DOOM II, TNT, Plutonia or Freedoom from your own files by sending them from a browser, downloading them from a link, or copying them to /data/homebrew/PPSA99666/wads/. Files from the original releases and from the 2024 DOOM + DOOM II re-release both work. Each game keeps its own saves.
