Essential improvements

v3.0 Patch (retail)

The latest retail patch is v3.0. The GOG.com version is already fully patched.

Run in DOSBox (retail)

To run Blake Stone correctly in DOSBox change cycles=auto to cycles=max. Leave all other DOSBox settings at their defaults.[1]

WDC game editor

WDC supports editing maps, enemies, music and many other game features. You must start a new game for the map changes to take effect.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/238050/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (238050) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
