Nobody has played it on Walnut yet, so it has no medal.

Installation

In Walnut Games, the desktop app: Install, then Add game files... and pick your copy of Heretic: the disc in the drive, an ISO, BIN/CUE or MDF image, an installer or a folder. The game data is not part of the package, and Walnut does not offer it.

What works: HERETIC.WAD from Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders (1.3) or the original 1.0 release: a CD, an installed copy, Steam's folder or the GOG installer.

More ways (a terminal, game-data-packager on any Debian system, copying the files by hand): Guides.

Or from a terminal, from Walnut's apt repository:

sudo apt install dsda-doom

Known issues

  • Nobody has played it through a session on Walnut yet, and it has not been tried with Heretic's own WAD.
  • DSDA-Doom's MIDI music chops on the PS3: about 465 sound underruns a minute with the synthesizer on the SPEs (measured with Freedoom, not with this WAD).
