Thank you for trying to help me with this, but now I am even more confused. Your last post conflicts with the original post of the thread.
original /usr/games/wolf *
last post /usr/share/wolf4sdl with the wolf4sdl program files.
If I am understanding this correctly, this command downloads and installs the wolf4sdl program files, correct?
This is what I get when I run the command the second time
and this is where they landed.
To fix this, all i have to do is move them to another folder?
Also, I looked under /usr/share/ , but could not find the wolf4sdl folder.

Yes, my bad. Let me rewrite exactly what should happen now… Be right back.

Imagine you just flashed the new v0.3 image .
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install wolf4sdl
mkdir /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D
Somehow copy your purchased *.WL6 files to /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D.
cd /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
mkdir "/home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/"
cd "/home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/"
echo "sudo ln -s /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D /usr/share/games/wolf3d" > 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "xmodmap -e 'keysym y = 1' # Shift-X = Knife" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "xmodmap -e 'keysym o = 2' # Shift-Y = Pistol" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "xmodmap -e 'keysym h = 3' # Shift-A = Machine Gun" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "xmodmap -e 'keysym l = 4' # Shift-B = Chain Gun" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "xmodmap -e 'keysym i = Y' # Y = Yes" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "wolf4sdl --res 320 240" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "setxkbmap # Undo key mappings" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
echo "sudo unlink /usr/share/games/wolf3d" >> 'Wolfenstein 3D.sh'
Reload your UI on the GameShell.

Hope this explains it for you. There are three folders involved:
Installing wolf4sdl creates the file /usr/games/wolf4sdl.
You make the directory /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D and put WL6 files in it.
The script (un)links that folder to /usr/share/games/wolf3d at runtime.
Well, four folders:
You create a script in /home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/
The script should be installed into its own folder within ~/apps/Menu. IE:
/home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/

Okay, I corrected it. I should run it again if it works and later figure out why you are probably right.
Thanks Oet. I know you’re trying, but I’m just not getting it. I tried your other tutorial Duke Nukem 3d, but it failed for me as well. Although I was able to get Doom working, there were very few steps. I’ll just come back to it another time. I’ll show you what I did to follow your last post.
After going through those steps, I just get a blank screen and automatic return to the launcher.

Hmm, all looks good. Type in this to run it on the GameShell and give us the output PuTTY gives:
DISPLAY=:0 "/home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/Wolfenstein 3D.sh"
(and they broke the Duke3D source for the GameShell since December as mentioned in the post)
oh ok. I missed the part about the source. Here are the results.

Before you start the script, the directory /usr/share/games/wolf3d should NOT exist. In your case it probably already exists, so the script can’t do its work.
Look at what it links to:
ls -l /usr/share/games/wolf3d
If you get this output:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Feb 15 10:59 /usr/share/games/wolf3d -> /home/cpi/games/Wolf3D
Then manually unlink it:
sudo unlink /usr/share/games/wolf3d
Retry the script:
DISPLAY=:0 "/home/cpi/apps/Menu/Wolfenstein 3D/Wolfenstein 3D.sh"
Show us the output of this procedure.
It won’t let me unlink it.

I wonder what you have been doing :).
In this case I would try:
sudo unlink /usr/share/games/wolf3d/Wolf3D
sudo rmdir /usr/share/games/wolf3d/
Output?
successful. Thank you. Learning so much. I feel like i’ll forget it tomorrow though. So much different than Windows.
Tried the display script and I get a permission denied.

Ermm, can you run the game now? You can’t run the display script (which runs the game) when you are already running the game.
Sorry. I have just attempted to run it and it shows the cpi loading screen, then black screen, then launcher. I also restarted before running the game. No Wolfenstein for me.

Somehow, I think your wolf4sdl files do not have the right permissions anymore:
~$ ls -l /usr/games/wolf4sdl*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1636 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 240180 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-sdm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 244460 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-sod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250216 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-wl1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250484 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-wl6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250528 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-wl6a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 250528 Mar 4 2017 /usr/games/wolf4sdl-wl6a1
It should be -rwxr-xr-x . I need to see your output again after this command.
yep. I screwed up something. I was trying to fix it by moving the files to another folder yesterday and looks like it changed those permissions.

Dude, I owe you a beer. Thanks so much.
