## Specific system information ### File organization PrBoom can load wad, iwad, and pwad files. WAD and IWAD files are "`Internal Where's All the Data`" files, meaning they are used to run the game. PWAD files are patches, they need the main game WAD/IWAD file to run. Hereunder is the recommendation for the organization of your prboom folder:

└── roms\
    └── prboom\
        ├── doom\
        │   └── doom.wad
        └── doom 2\
        │   └── doom2.wad
        └── Doom Ultimate\
        │   └── doomu.wad

If you are going to use pwad files, they will have to be placed in a subfolder inside the main wad game folder:

└── roms\
    └── prboom\
        ├── doom\
        │   └── doom.wad
        │   └── Episode 5 - Sigil\
        │           └── SIGIL.pwad
        └── Doom 2\
            └── doom2.wad
            └── Goldeneye\
                    └── goldeneye.pwad
