Release: VitaWolfen, Wolfenstein 3D port for PS Vita
PS Vita Developer Rinnegatamante released yet another homebrew for the PS Vita: VitaWolfen. This is a port of popular old-school FPS Wolfenstein3D by ID software.
Wolfenstein3D was the first FPS I ever played, and I’m pretty sure it was the first FPS ever. And you get to kill Hitler in that game, how cool is that?
Note: The homebrew includes the Shareware version of Wolfenstein3D, but to play the full game you’ll need to own a legit copy and copy your own files in there.
Keep in mind that this is an early release and might have bugs. Users report for example that sound doesn’t seem to be supported at the moment.
Download & install VitaWolfen, Wolfenstein3D port for PS Vita
You can download VitaWolfen on the developer’s site here.
To install & play, please note that you will need to have a PS Vita running firmware 3.60 with the HENkaku hack. To install HENkaku, please check our PS Vita CFW page.

Installation
In the RAR file you’ll find a data folder and 4 vpks. Place the data folder in ux0:/ and if you want to play Full game or Spear of Destiny full game, you’ll need to place wl6 and sod files in ux0:/data/Wolfenstein 3D. Shareware version and Spear of Destiny Demo files are already included in the data folder.
According to what version you want to play, install the relative vpk file. (You can also install more than a single vpk).

Guten tag!
So, we got doom, quake and now wolfenstein.
Here’s to hoping Duke Nukem 3d will be next!
“Noise of megaton edition in the distance”
Why not buy it? It’s only like 10 bucks for PS3 + Vita edition…
Because I already paid it
Mein Leben!
Ouwha! I can’t express myself right now! I’m dying to play Wolfentstein on my PSVita! Guys…you can’t be serious right? All the effort to play old dos games from the age of dawn? All that effort yifanlu to explain his point of view about legal/illegal? All the effort…I’m socked!
the henkaku exploit is 7 weeks old
what the *** do you expect?
7 days actually
Thanks to the author.
@ErnieBall There used to be a Rise of the Triad port on PSP, I’d love to play it on Vita too.
I really hope this mass of homebrews released actually get updated and don’t sit as some sort of tech demo.
Don’t get me wrong, this is awesome, I just hope people aren’t porting them for the sake of it being on there rather than the sake of playability
Wolf3d was the first FPS I ever played as well. And to think I was 3 years old at the time. Ha!
Speaking of firsts, the first platformer/adventure game I played was Jazz Jackrabbit. We have OpenJazz on the Wii and the 360. A Vita port of OpenJazz is on my personal wishlist.
No audio for Wolfenstein? Having a blast using the Quake I port! Looks like it just needs minor fixes like audio skips and some texture glitches. Otherwise a very nice port
