Hi guys,

I've seen a few threads here and around the internet about not being able to use the mouse in Wolfenstein 3D.
There is a way to do this and quite easy as well. The problem that you can't use the mouse at first is because DosBox's autodetection for games require mouse control fails on Wolfenstein 3D. Fortunately there is a fix in the DosBox manual.

Just hit CTRL+F10 after starting the game so it'll detect the mouse and you're off.

Cheers,

Dump DOSBox and download Wolf4SDL. It's a Windows port of Wolfenstein 3D and runs like the original game.

Here's the links
The game executable: http://www.alice-dsl.net/mkroll/bins/Wolf4SDL-1.7-full1_4activision-win32.zip
The required DLL files: http://www.alice-dsl.net/mkroll/bins/SDL_and_SDL_mixer-win32.zip

Plop the exe and the DLL's into the game's data folder (where all the WL6 files are somewhere in the Steam common folder) and run the EXE.

Let me know if it works, I'm pretty sure it's the right version.
If you get an error when you click the EXE about something to do with chunks, download these files and replace the ones in the data folder: http://www.btinternet.com/~belowe/vgafiles.zip
