[Release] Wolfenstein 3D V4.8 - Sound Improvements + Lots more!

[Mr. Shizzy]

Great release. This is a great game.

Nice job Zion, Wolfenstein is a classic!

Is that true ?? Zack = Zion ??

If so, what's up Zion, haven't seen you in a while

[Sterist]

are the sound fixes for everything but the CD version of Wolf3D? because the sound is quite crackled and popped. i'd opt to turn it off

This version sounds a whole lot better than the original last version and the "sound fix" version. Yes there is a few crackles but entirely not bad, maybe you need to try out different wolf files... I'll help you out soon.

Edit: Zack, Some bugs/issues I've found so far.

Bug 1- Gameloader. When you are in the game selection menu, go straight down (near SOD2 and SOD3) and then back up to Wolfenstein3D Full game. Select it and click on new game. Something catch your eye? Green letters for the episodes after the first one. You can't even select the other episodes due to the fact that it believes you have.... the sharware version of Wolfenstein. This is what AshTR had found in the 4.7 thread. The gameloader selects the shareware version instead of the full version when doing what I and AshTR wrote. Credit's go to AshTR, I'm merely reiterating.

Bug 2- Your new control scheme and cheats are implemented in all Wolf games (actually only SOD, SOD2,SOD3) except Wolfenstein 3D full Version and Shareware version. Wolfenstein 3D full version (maybe shareware version too) also crashs after the score screen.

to Zack: thanks for new release! Sound much better. But save\load don't work om my fat with 3.71m33-4. I saved game, then try to load, that about 10 sec of black screen, than I have a game in the beginning of level. Is it right? I have same thing in port of Duke 3D, but there it was a bug and it was mentioned in readme. So what I do wrong? And than , if I did save, then get out of game and begin it again I see black sceen about 10 sec and than go to xmb whith error 80010002 (game cannot be started). Maybe I must upgrade firmware to 4.01m33? Or do some others magic movements?

This save feature is experimental and he is testing this right now. Bear with the save states for now or just save in game with the game's save menu(pressing triangle, in-game.)

Dammit Zack, you are a horrible influence. I'm going to trade out my PSP Phat tomorrow and get the Slim. God, that means I'm going to have to go through that crap of a process of downgrading somehow. I'll probably do time machine, I hated doing the pandora thing due to it taking me half a day to do with someone elses PSP. Even worse, I have to cross my fingers and hope that all my major First person shooters work on it with sound and music (Doom, Hexen, Hexen II, Heretic, Quake, ROTT, Dukenukem) and hope my emulators are fine too (I'm already going to cry when I see Exophases gPSP not working...)

[AshTR]

Quick question about this release.

Is the option still there to customize controls in Wolf 3D's menu, and if it is, can the customized controls be saved?

(My PSP memory stick is with someone else right now, so I won't be able to try this release yet for a day or two. Maybe more. Depends if the guy gives it back or decides to be evil and keep it without my permission.)

God, that means I'm going to have to go through that crap of a process of downgrading somehow.

1. buy a slim-pandora batt off of divineo USA for $20 or $12 for one in which you insert 3 AAA batteries
2. make a UPT v4.3 ms

all set!!

if you didn't know already, UPT will let you use pandora batteries as a normal battery, and hold a key @ boot to access menu's

TEven worse, I have to cross my fingers and hope that all my major First person shooters work on it with sound and music (Doom, Hexen, Hexen II, Heretic, Quake, ROTT, Dukenukem) and hope my emulators are fine too (I'm already going to cry when I see Exophases gPSP not working...)

gPSP Kai - Works on 4.xx kernel

Snes9xTYLsmcm - Works on 4.xx kernel and better than SNES9xTYL 0.4.2me when I personally tested.

Quake PSP - Works on 4.xx kernel

ROTT v1.01 - Works on 4.xx kernel

Chilly Willy's Duke Nukem - Works on 4.xx kernel.

Doom, Hexen, and Heretic pack - Works on 4.xx kernel. At least, I believe this is the version. If not, I've got the files on my memory stick that work.

So there you go. That's everything except Hexen 2. Now you can enjoy Wolfenstein 3D and everything else on your Slim. :P

EDIT: Sterist: That's Dark-AleX's Time Machine that does that. UPT is just the installer.

[da1writer]

AshTR, I sense you have a slim, I'll probably PM you to find out how to downgrade/update to m33 firmware without an additional psp since I'll be trading in my cfw PSP for a slim (sent you a PM right now).
*wow, what a tangent I started*

Anyway, to get back on topic, did you test out these bugs that I mentioned too AshTR in the newest build?
What do you think of Zack's progress, pretty good eh ?

[Sterist]

EDIT: Sterist: That's Dark-AleX's Time Machine that does that. UPT is just the installer.

you are both right and somewhat-wrong.

Time Machine does allow you to use a Pandora battery (infact, doesn't work without)

however, Time Machine and UPT are two totally different programs and are in no way associated (and yes it does install Time Machine as a sub-menu feature)

UPT is not "an installer" but does 'contain' MANY installers. it was originally UPMS which stood for Ultimate Pandora Memory Stick. i don't know where the hell UP"T" came from but they're the same program(s), just more recent.

also, UPT & Time Machine can be installed at the same time
