Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory

ET: Legacy is an open-source project that aims to create a fully compatible client and server for the multiplayer FPS game Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (2003) by Splash Damage and id Software. It is a free-to-play, team-based World War II online shooter where players choose to fight as Axis or Allies across objective-based maps. This system scrapes metadata for the “ports” group(s) and loads the etlegacy set from the currently selected theme, if available. Grouped with the “ports” group of systems.

Quick reference

  • Emulator: ET: Legacy
  • Folder: roms/etlegacy/
  • Accepted ROM formats: .etl

BIOS

No ET: Legacy emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

ROMs

You need the original Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory game data files (.pk3 files). You can get them from:

Copy the .pk3 files from the etmain folder of your installation into /userdata/roms/etlegacy/etmain/. Then create an empty file with a .etl extension in /userdata/roms/etlegacy/. 

/userdata/roms/etlegacy/
               ├── etmain/
               |    ├── pak0.pk3
               |    ├── pak1.pk3
               |    └── pak2.pk3
               └── Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory.etl

Batocera only provides the ET: Legacy client with mods. It does not include the server to host matches. You need to connect to existing online servers to play.

For the best experience, a mouse and keyboard is recommended. Game controllers can also be configured in-game for your user profile.

Troubleshooting

My game does not launch

  • Make sure the etmain folder exists in /userdata/roms/etlegacy/ and contains the required .pk3 files.
  • Verify that the .etl launch file exists in /userdata/roms/etlegacy/.

My profile does not save

You may have to create a user profile twice for it to save properly. This is a known quirk.
