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
