I happy to see your work on this. I am curious if a version of this fix could be released for Mac OS X. I understand it if isn't your highest priority, but I'd be happy to hear about more work on it. I'm really trying to get Wolfenstein 3D for mac working as it uses a different file format for custom levels then the DOS version does. As far as I can tell they are not compatible or convertible. I've gotten Wolfenstein 3D working in system 7.5.3 in the Sheepshaver 15 July 2012 build on Mac OS X 10.6 except for mouse support. I notice one of the other posts in this thread says they do not have a version of Wolfenstein 3D to use, you can get the demo which is free to distribute from this link: http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperAr ... ed-101.hqx . I am not investigating it for myself but for a friend who designed a bunch of levels themselves and recently re-discovered them on a zip disk. Unfortunately the levels are a bit brutal to play without mouse support.

I wanted to add my voice to those who would really like to see a Mac OS version of this fix. My beloved Worms is unplayable in the current version of SheepShaver and it seems wrong to have the only fix working on Windows. Anything you can do to get this fix onto other platforms would be a huge service to the emulation community.

Hi,

You replied to a post dating back more than 2 years. We haven't heard from the developer for a long time, and the source code for his fixes is lost. So there is little hope for further development.

Best,
