September 19th, 2008, 14:38 Posted By: Zack

So after I finally got my ass into gear, we now have Wolfenstein V5.1 beta released

Why is it a beta ?

Well my tester Da1writer is currently moving house and thus I have only being able to test this myself. So it could be buggy, things could have broken etc.

Also I haven't added most of the requested features yet. As I want to see if the main fixes are stable first so bug tracking will be easier.

What are the changes ?

Well a few major ones

1st : The sound tempo is now how people remember it. There is still debate whether or not this is correct, and that Windows 98 or Dosbox could be running the game too slow, but to be honest It doesn't bother me. I want to make the game play how you remember it.

2nd : The Saving/Loading corruption bug has being fixed. This has not being tested thoroughly and may still be broken or buggy. I really need you guys to test the hell out of this for me

3rd : The Game Loader has been Re-Written from scratch. It now has a much neater GUI and also now sports a Confirm option. So you don't press X by mistake, load the wrong game and have to go all the way to the xmb and start over.

Also, Music and sound effects have been removed from the Game Loader to make the download smaller and to save more space on your Memory stick

Note : The confirm box in the middle only shows after you press X on the game you want to load , Pressing O goes back, the box goes away and you can pick a different game. Thanks to Roscharch for the image and idea!

Here is a screenshot of the new Game Loader :



Here is the ChangeLog For V5.1 Beta :

So please test this hard! And report any bugs here or at the thread on RetroEmu.

Source Included as usual, but now in a separate zip file to save download file size for people who have no interest in source code

Note : Wolf3D Floppy patch (attached below) is still needed for users that use the Wolf3D Floppy files.

Enjoy
