very awesome work. Thanks so much for releasing.

Will give it a run later on.

soulburn says:

It's great ! Many many thank's. I hope you port other Id games in the future!

Few things:

- how to change controls? It seems that readme file says nothing about that. In-game menu says: no options avalible

- how to change savgame name? pressing X gives me "y" and nothing more

- sometimes dificulty level optios are grayed-out, i can choose first, or first and last dificulty (in spear of destiny, shareware and full), I don't remeber happening it in pc version

Zack says:

Controls : Can't be changed via the menu i am afraid. Someone would need to write a psp specific input handler for it.

Savegame name : Someone could add an osk to wolf to change the name, i just didn't think it justified the time taken to do so. Are you really going to have more than one save per game? I don't think so at least.

Difficulty : Yeah that's a weird random bug that i only discovered after releasing. It only happens randomly. Next time you start the game it should allow you to select them as usual.

Thanks :)

Chilly Willy says:

There's an error in the control listings in the readme...

START = Menu (Esc)

O + START = cycle CPU speed between 133, 180, 222, 266, 300, and 333 MHz.

SELECT = Enter

O + SELECT = Backspace

Also, O while in the menu is a cancel button (Esc).

Zack says:

Yeah saw that after it was released :blushing:

I am going to make a new release after all. V5.1

Going to fix the difficulty bug, and make a few other changes that i feel it is missing.

:)

Chilly Willy says:

Like maybe make your launcher use a relative path, or maybe get the current path so that you don't HAVE to put it in GAME? :)

// get launch directory name for our home

strncpy(psp_home,argv[0],sizeof(psp_home)-1);

psp_home[sizeof(psp_home)-1] = 0;

char *str_ptr=strrchr(psp_home,'/');

if (str_ptr){

str_ptr++;

*str_ptr = 0;

}

Hi. I was looking through the Internet when I saw this. It's just brilliant to play Wolf3D in the PSP. Thanks for releasing it.

I just have a question for you. I am using a 4.01 M33-2 FAT PSP. I suppose I can play it, but I copy the game in the PSP/GAME folder but I am unable to make it run. I can see it in the MS but when I am going to play, it just come back to the PSP menu. What's wrong? I suppose it's something related with the *.WL6 files, because I have none of them.

Chilly Willy says:

You can play the shareware games immediately. The full version require YOU to provide the files needed yourself. The only way we can say here how to get them is to buy the PC version of the full game.

Ronins says:

Thank you, m8. 8)

And what's the difference between the full and the shareware version?

Chilly Willy says:

The shareware just has the first few levels. The full game is much like it sounds - the FULL game. The shareware version is pretty much like game demos today - just enough to give you an idea of how the game plays so you will hopefully like it enough to rush out and buy the full game. :)

Ronins says:

OK, thanks again. 8)

You bumped the thread after FOUR MINUTES?!?!? You're lucky anyone will help at all. Here's my help - google for 5.2. That's the latest of this.

jx233 says:

Should this thread be closed?

Chilly Willy says:

Nah! It's not too common that people do that. Not to mention, when someone does it can remind folks of stuff. A blast from the past and all that. :D

XYZ says:

Just been around the shareware version, it reminds me of old times... (This was the first PC game I ever played!)

It is quite well done, my congratulations on a very well done job.
