Unless it's been modified, the WADs go in Inducer/Doom

Thank you, do I have to use specific Wad files names?

Thank you, do I have to use specific Wad files names?

yes here is what they must be called

DOOM2F.WAD Doom 2 - French Version
DOOM2.WAD Doom 2 - Hell on Earth
TNT.WAD Doom 2 - TNT Evilution (Final Doom)
PLUTONIA.WAD Doom 2 - Plutonia Experiment (Final Doom)
DOOMU.WAD Ultimate Doom
DOOM.WAD Registered Doom
DOOM1.WAD Shareware Doom (this will not work with MODs)

Technically, you don't need to use the correct WAD file names - nxDoom can automaticall determine what the WAD actually is, and will adjust it's setting automatically. It will only make a difference to the on-screen menu when nxDoom boots up. That menu looks for:

DOOM2F.WAD
DOOM2.WAD
TNT.WAD
PLUTONIA.WAD
DOOM.WAD
DOOMU.WAD
DOOM1.WAD

Unlike most other ports of Doom, you don't have to rename an Ultimate Doom WAD to DOOMU.WAD - it'll work just fine as DOOM.WAD. Or TNT.WAD, for that matter.

The whole point of nxDoom initially was to run modified WAD files, which the original DoomDC could to to a limited extent, but it was a real pain in the backside. So yeah, some of them will work with nxDoom, but only if they work with a normal, unmodified Doom engine (so no Doom Legacy WAD files).
