I'm wondering, is there some kind of console coomand for forcing something so I can play it?
The fault may be the gpu,cpu or the sound card (all from cyriax 🤣 ), but I hope I could play it over my tiny machine

Post the exact nature of your problem; when and how it occurs, etc. It's also a good idea to post your exact system specs and DOS config files in order to facilitate proper and swift diagnosis of the problem.

If you do a Google search for <wolf3d command line arguments>, one of the first hits is https://tcrf.net/Wolfenstein_3D_(DOS)#T ... Parameters .
nice find, someone i didn't managed to find that page...
Still, even trying all those commands it's not working D:
The os: Windows 98A, Cyrix express GRAPHICS, cyrix express AUDIO, Cyrix media gxm 200MHz, 96mb sdram.
Error log:
type wolf3d.exe on console
press enter
the screen goes black, no áudio is played.
the machine doesn't freeze since I can alt tab to Windows (and under ms-dos, I can also turn off the system [that proves the system didn't froze since when the cpu crash, I cannot turn it off])
Games like commander keen 6 and doom worked so idk what's going on D:
hm, could it be related to The fact that I'm missing a floppy drive?

No, no it could not.
Where did you download this game from? Maybe the files are corrupted.

Idk, it's the same file that I used to use on my Pentium mmx
The fact that Commander Keen 6 works is interesting since it uses pretty much the same core codebase as Wolf3D.
Here's a test for you: try running Atroxian Realm. It has a lot more code directly from Wolf3D if I'm not mistaken.
Also you could see if any of the Catacomb 3D games run.

"Idk" either. If you copied the files manually from your Pentium MMX, maybe something went wrong. Try downloading a fresh copy from somewhere reliable.
I tried that commander keen game and also the catacomb 3D, both worked.
I also tried a demo copy of Wolf 3D, but I got the same result :\

Wolfenstein 3D doesn't run on my Cyrix MediaGXm either. As I'm in the middle of building a new system around the Cyrix I can't try anything right now. You could try a videocard, the integrated Cyrix XpressGRAPHICS has problems with Mode X/Y and some other stuff.
