The game’s working directory is named sdcard as Android defaults to that name as internal storage, whereas Windows Explorer refers to it as Phone, so these settings shouldn’t be changed. Open the game in your phone and you should see a screen like this:

Right-click on the directory \base and click COPY (my version DOOM 3 BFG Edition is for illustration purposes only).ĭouble-click on the directory, diii4a, to open it and paste in the base directory you copied earlier. This folder should be in the region of 1Gb in size, so ensure that you have enough space available. Copy the base folder from your PC DOOM 3 installation directory to the newly created folder on your phone. Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable and create a new folder, DIII4A, in the root directory of your phone. Example: C:\Program files x86\steam\steamapps\common\DOOM 3\ base. You can pick it up on Steam for $4.99 and other stores but, according to other users, DOOM 3 BFG Edition won’t run on the Android port and this isn’t made clear on Google Play.įirst, head over to Google Play and install DIII4A on your device but don’t open the App just yet, rather, open Windows Explorer and locate your DOOM 3 installation directory which, if it’s a Steam installation, will be in your Steam directory. InstallĪs with the guide I wrote on how to install Quake II on your device, you will need DOOM 3 installed on your PC, patched to 1.3.1, but not modded. Of course back then I thought my PC was the mutts nuts and here I am thirteen years later playing DOOM 3 on my Galaxy S8, where it actually looks better and runs as smooth as silk without a hint of lag whatsoever. At the time I was running a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz PC with 2Gb of RAM and an Nvidia 6800GT 256Mb AGP video card. I first played DOOM 3 when it was released in 2004.
