Hi all.
With my recent discovery of DOSbox, I got to play a old game called Wolfenstein 3D again, and I remembered when I was younger playing the far superior macintosh version. Now that I'm older and have a windows XP home computer, I want to play macintosh wolf 3d again, so I download Basilisk II Release 0.9-1 to try it. I eventually got it working but the emulator randomly crashes at points during it. My question is, is there a way to get macintosh wolfenstein 3D working on a windows XP machine somehow?

Enjoy (A port is typically a better solution than PPC on x86/x64 emulation given the choice).

Sure it won't be the Mac version, but it'll be better than the original DOS version that's for sure. (I doubt either sported 3D acceleration via an API, etc).

All wolf ports suck currently and don't even play the ending or do high scores properly.

Wolf3D works fine in Basilisk II (v0.8 for NT) with Mac Quadra for me, haven't crashed yet.

Which is a pity. I guess that being older and less famous than doom makes it less atractive to port.
I also read somewhere that the code contains a fair amount of assembly and things that make it difficult to port.
Well, I'm supossedly a programmer so I should try it myself. 😁

How about the Basilisk II 1.0 JIT version? (Note that it seems to lock up on startup if you try to use a Quadra 910 ROM, so try a different ROM if that happens.)
