Wolf4SDL 4w5g4g

A lot of source ports exist for Wolfenstein 3D, and we've played Wolfenstein for a long time with the Wolf4SDL, a simple port to play this classic in high resolution on the latest Windows systems, both 32 and 64 bits. It's rather hard to configure the port, but it's very stable. Unfortunately it's not maintained anymore. Instead, we use the ECWolf port, which is based on the Wolf4SDL port. a495b
