Description

Do not hard-code the WAD file into the start script (see https://github.com/petrockblog/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/doom.sh#L25), but let the user choose the WAD file to be started.

Research direction

Read scriptmodules/libretrocores/doom.sh at line 25, where the WAD file is hard-coded in the start script. Trace how the script starts the Doom LibretroCore and identify the existing configuration path to extend. Done means the user can choose which WAD file is started instead of always using the hard-coded file.
