I've been poking around trying to get Wolf 3D running, and after decompressing/decrypting the game code I discovered that it uses the same copy protection code as Cycloids/Raw Power/FRED/etc. So fairly soon I should have it fully working on modern machines, all without the cost of sending a tenner to Uffenkamp Computer Systems (Who probably don't exist any more) :E

You do realise Eddie Edwards released the source for Wolf 3D, don't you?

I don't know now... probably the web page doesn't exist any more. I may still have on a zip disc somewhere.

Yay!

However, web.arhive.org only archive web pages not downloads :|

Anyway, I've almost got it working now. Just need to hard code the disc key, and then identify the decryption code and either decrypt & disable or make it StrongARM friendly.

Of course, this verison would probably be working by now if the archive I used to bring it to uni wasn't corrupt :|

Whew, think it's fixed. Luckily it only looks like an ASWAP file i'd been poking round with got corrupted, so the game should work :)

Are you working from the source or the binary now?

Ooo, BASIC source!

I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or a bad thing ;)

If I can find the is-a-disc-inserted function then I should be able to get the binary version working...

I think it includes all the source for the disc protection ;)

Yup, which is quite nice :)

I've now managed to get past the prompt to make you insert disc one and onto the main menu, but .... attempting to start/load a game will crash the computer :(

L@@K!

Looks like he's the right guy, judging by the GBA hacking and this wiki. Anyone wanna drop him a line and see if he'll let us distribute the Wolf source? :o
