Compared to the original DOOM 3, the changes of dhewm 3 worth mentioning are:

64-bit port
SDL for low-level OS support, OpenGL and input handling
OpenAL for audio output, all OS-specific audio backends are gone
OpenAL EFX for EAX reverb effects (read: EAX-like sound effects on all platforms/hardware)
Better support for widescreen (and arbitrary display resolutions)
A portable build system based on CMake
(Cross-)compilation with MinGW-w64


The game, both the NRO and the data files (i.e. the base and/or d3xp folders), should be installed to /switch/dhewm3/ on your SD card.

nxlink debugging is enabled when either DEBUG or NXLINK_DEBUG is defined.

Copy over pak000.pk4 through pak008.pk4 from your PC Doom 3 installation's base folder to /switch/dhewm3/base/. Make sure the game is patched to the latest version (1.3.1). The Steam version is already patched. Doom 3 BFG files won't work.
