notes: >
Doom 3 source port based on dhewm3 (GPL Doom 3 engine). The core accepts
.pk4 extensions (retro_get_system_info sets valid_extensions = "pk4").
Content is loaded directly from the .pk4 file path - the engine extracts
the grandparent directory as fs_basepath (libretro.cpp:1097,1135-1136
via extract_directory called twice on info->path) and expects the standard
Doom 3 directory layout with base/ containing pak000.pk4 through pak008.pk4.
BASE_GAMEDIR is hardcoded to "base" (Licensee.h:58). The boom3_xp variant
compiles with _D3XP defined, which passes "+set fs_game d3xp" at startup
(libretro.cpp:538-544) to load the Resurrection of Evil expansion from a
d3xp/ subdirectory alongside base/. The filesystem code (FileSystem.cpp:2125)
scans for .pk4 files in the game directory and loads them in order, with
higher-numbered paks overriding lower ones. The core requires OpenGL
(RETRO_ENVIRONMENT_SET_HW_RENDER) and XRGB8888 pixel format. All required
files are commercial Doom 3 game data, not engine firmware. No BIOS or
system files are needed in the RetroArch system directory.
