DOS controls vary by game. Use the player’s input menu for a virtual keyboard or mouse when available. A hardware keyboard is recommended for games with many keys.
Touch support varies by emulator and game. You can still expand the keyboard layout below, or connect a compatible keyboard or gamepad.

Keyboard and mouse — this title uses its archived JS-DOS configuration.
A compatible gamepad can be used after launch.

The archived source configuration selects the game launcher and DOSBox settings. Game keys still vary by title; check its title screen or in-game help.
System: Use the JS-DOS player menu for fullscreen and input options. The source package remains the authority for title-specific keys.

About Wolfenstein 3D
Wolfenstein 3D centres on corridor navigation, keys, ammunition and hidden rooms behind movable wall sections.
Rooms, keys and a hidden route out
You explore a maze of rooms from a first-person viewpoint, collecting supplies and finding the exit. Similar-looking corridors make route memory important. Secret wall sections can reveal health, ammunition and treasure that change how comfortably you can finish a floor.
Try the walls when looking for supplies
Use the interaction command on a wall section when looking for a secret. Some panels move and expose supplies or treasure. Remember which corridor you came from before searching a side room, since the repeated wall patterns make it easy to lose your bearings.
Another route through the DOS library
Spear of Destiny is a separate campaign. For another DOS shooter with keys and hidden rooms, try Doom, which also provides an automap.
Background and mechanics: Wikipedia game reference.
Secret Codes & Cheats
Check the edition and timing requirements before entering a code. Button names refer to the emulated controller; use your assigned keyboard or controller inputs.
Full Health, Ammo & Both Keycards
Hold M + L + I simultaneously during gameplayPressing the letter keys M, L, and I together instantly restores health to 100%, loads 99 bullets, unlocks the Chaingun, and awards both gold and silver keys for the current floor.
