- Save your project, shut the MPC down and back up your SD card.
- Unzip the starter. Copy its
SD/autorunfolder to the top level of the card, so you end up with<card>/autorun/autorun.sh. If the card already has anautorunfolder, move it aside first. - Eject the card, insert it with the MPC off, and turn it on. DOOM starts on its own.
For Ultimate DOOM, the full setup includes a double-click Windows setup and a Mac script. Both read your GOG installer without running it. The player guide covers both, plus saves and troubleshooting.
