        More information in the Reddit post. We weren't able to find a solution there, so I directed them to the forums here for more help:

          Just for a bit of further testing, I made an alternate .sh that points to "vswap.sod" instead of "vswap.sd1". Same thing happens, closes almost immediately, no error.

          #/dev/shm/runcommand.log
Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/ports/wolf4sdl/bin/wolf4sdl.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d/vswap.sod"
~/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d ~
~

          I have both sets of the 3 files (sd1 and sod) in the /roms/ports/wolf3d folder. Splitwolf gave a missing files error without them (the sod files).

            Seems like you're missing some files - did you copy the files from a working DOS installation ? Make sure all files (.sod, .sd1) are lowercase.

            Post a listing of your $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/roms/ports/wolf3d files (run ls -1 $HOME/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d).

              I downloaded the Spear of Destiny files off of my retropie setup, and dropped ecwolf in the folder, and Spear of destiny ep 1 worked. Matched the md5 too.

                I don't have access right now to my installation to check, though it seems most of the files needed (mainy .sod ones) are there. Can you run a checksum on them just to cross-check ?

                pushd $HOME/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d
md5sum *.sod
popd

                    The .sod files are similar to my installation - which works fine - so it seems this is not an issue with missing game files. Just to make sure, the checksum was calculated directly on the RPI and not on the original installation ?

                        Ok. Well, just on the slim chance there's somehow a file that's wrong somewhere, can you run the following commands:

                        pushd /home/pi/roms/ports/wolf3d
strace -e openat /opt/retropie/ports/wolf4sdl/bin/wolf4sdl-spear
popd

                        The 2nd command should try and start the game, recording any file access (open) and printing it on the terminal. Post the last 20 lines that begin with openat, printed by wolf4spl before it exits.

                            Seems ok. The config.sod opening error is ok, since this is where the settings are stored and you haven't got a chance to save any setting.

                            Not sure what's the issue here and unfortunately the game doesn't have any logging to show what's not working.
