Compatibility notes
Which releases these codes apply to, and where one behaves differently. Each note links to the source that documents it.
- Steam release The Steam Community guide says you can skip typing the parameter: the Steam folder has a Wolf3d + cheats.bat file that starts the game with debug mode ready. Steam Community: Cheats for Wolfenstein 3D
- GOG release Posters on the GOG forum say you add -goobers to the wolf3d.exe line at the bottom of the DOSBox .conf file. One of them reports that Tab + N (no clipping) does not work in the GOG version. GOG Forum: Wolf 3D and Spear of Destiny Debug Mode?
- Version 1.0 vs 1.1 The Doom Help Service list says Tab + Q crashes the computer in v1.0 and only exits the game in v1.1. It also says the Tab + O level map works in v1.0 but not in v1.1. Doom Help Service: Wolfenstein 3D cheats list
