Wolfenstein 3D files #8

Great work on the ports - I have easily imported a bunch of games I wanted to try on the mini. I only ran into three games that I couldn’t import; Wolfenstein 3D (the HD mod imported fine), Spear of Destiny and Noah’s Ark. The mods imported, just not these three ECWolf titles.

I was scratching my head about a few things here. I have the GoG versions of these games and some of the “required files” texts ask for files that are not needed (or in the game files).

So I copied over Spear.exe and renamed it to SOD.exe, it worked so I deleted it and amended the shortcut to use the rom file for audiohed.sod - the import worked and the game runs fine without the exe file.

Finally I updated the shortcut files for W3D and N3D the same way, I don’t have a file called n3d.ecwolf or any *.ecwolf because it isn’t required (or distributed with retail copies).

Please update the shortcuts and remove SOD.exe from the required files, as well as the *.ecwolf files, that perhaps nobody will have unless they’ve run ecwolf before?

Steam version has same problems. And ecwolf doesn't contain .ecwolf file https://maniacsvault.net/ecwolf/download.php

Other ecwolf ports require only *.wl6, *.sod files, even .exe are unnecessary

ok it works:

  1. use GOG Version of Game and copy needed files into correct folder
  2. download ecwolf-1.4.1_arm64-v8a.apk from https://maniacsvault.net/ecwolf/download.php
  3. unpack APK (with 7zip) and go into: .\ecwolf-1.4.1_arm64-v8a\assets
  4. copy ecwolf.pk3 into "Wolfenstein 3D (ECWolf)" and "Spear of Destiny (ECWolf)" folder
  5. go into /Roms/PORTS/Games/Wolfenstein 3D Collection/Wolfenstein 3D (ECWolf) and create new file: "WL6.ecwolf" (it can have 0 Byte)

Of course it works - that was my point, the “required files” is wrong and the shortcut points to the wrong file. You don’t need to create fake 0 byte files!

Perhaps I should just create a PR…
