wolf4sdl error when launching

[luckyluca]

Hi,
Using the Retropie-setup menu, I removed the wolf4sdl package, being old, and reinstalled it from source, hoping to get controller support.

Now, when launching wolfestein I get the following error:

wolf3d
wolf4sdl
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d/vswap.wl6
/opt/retropie/ports/wolf4sdl/bin/wolf4sdl.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d/vswap.wl6"
Parameters:
Executing: SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx SDL_DISPMANX_WIDTH=1280 SDL_DISPMANX_HEIGHT=720 /opt/retropie/ports/wolf4sdl/bin/wolf4sdl.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d/vswap.wl6"
NO WOLFENSTEIN 3-D DATA FILES to be found!

I checked using md5sum as per retropie docs and got the following result, which aligns to the steam version, so files are actually fine.

~/RetroPie/roms/ports/wolf3d $ md5sum *.wl6

Any ideas what might be wrong now?

Thanks

@luckyluca please provide more details of set up as detailed in the pinned topics. Did you update the RetroPie -Setup script first?

@BuZz

Here it is:
Pi Model or other hardware: Pi400
Power Supply used: Original white power supply
RetroPie Version in use: 4.7.15
Storage: 32gb sdcard plus 1tb usb3 ssd drive for the roms folder.
Error messages received: Wolfestein crashes back to EmulationStation when launching.
Emulator: wolf4sdl port

No I didn't update anything.
I was actually planning not to touch this installation anymore, other than getting a few ports to work.
The only thing I tried the other day, was I first removed the wolf4sdl package.
Then I followed this set of instructions to install a separate branch of wolf4sdl, which failed miserably at the build stage:

cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl depends
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl sources
sudo chown -R pi:pi /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/wolf4sdl/
cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/wolf4sdl/
git remote add lazd "https://github.com/lazd/wolf4sdl.git"
git fetch lazd
git checkout sdl2remap
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd ~/RetroPie-Setup/
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl get_opts
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl get_bins
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl build
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl install
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh wolf4sdl configure
rm ~/.wolf4sdl/config.wl*

However doing the above fails upon build. (see https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8695/wolfenstein3d-wolf4sdl-remapping/30?_=1649086238047 ).

So I then simply opened up Retropie-Setup, cleaned the wolf4sdl entry and installed from source.
I actually tried installing both from source and from binary and in both cases I get the "NO WOLFENSTEIN 3-D DATA FILES to be found!" error.

At first I thought this was due to some odd permissions with my usb3 ssd. This is not the case as it was working perfectly before in this configuration. I also tested running wolf4sdl and its data files directly from the sdcard with the same error as above. Thanks for looking and you support!

@luckyluca

It's now resolved, thanks!

I restored a backup of the 32GB Sdcard image and updated the package to the latest version.
It magically works and the controller started working too.

@luckyluca After building the sdl2remap branch, i got the same error. Do you know what the root-cause is for that error?
