Hexen DS ver 0.26

Most recent update








Hexen v0.26
Here's the latest update to Hexen's port to the DS, originally coded by Whitehouse, now maintained by Sektor.

What you need:

- The hexen.wad from the full version of Hexen (shareware is not currently supported)

- A DS and a compatible slot-1 or slot-2 device (tested on M3CF and DS-X OS v1.1)


How to use:


Step 1:


- Figure out what device you own

- hexenDS.nds is for GBAMP, MMD and slot-1 devices

- hexenDS.gba.nds is for slot-2 devices like SCSD and M3CF

- If you have a GBAMP, M3CF, SCCF, SCSD or DS-X then you don't need to use the DLDI patch. Skip Step 2.



Step 2:


- Download dlditool and the DLDI driver for your device

- Patch hexenDS.nds or hexenDS.gba.nds with a DLDI patch for your device



Step 3:


- Copy hexenDS.nds or hexenDS.gba.nds to any folder on your card (on DS-X it's best to use the apps folder)

- Copy a retail hexen.wad (19MB+) to /hexen.wad or /data/hexen/hexen.wad (that's X:\data\hexen\hexen.wad for Windows users)

- Launch Hexen and hope it can find hexen.wad

- It should saying "LOADING". It can take up to 15 seconds on some devices. There is no progress bar. It if takes longer, something is wrong.



What is broken:


- Saving and loading don't work.

- For now, use the level warp option in "ds" section of the main menu.

If I have a g6 i'm using....slot 2?

Yes, use the slot 2 file and patch with the G6 DLDI patch.

How well is this running? Oh, and how about the button configuration?

 

[decript]

Played around with it, pretty cool.
Graphics are good, you can allow an option in the DS option screen to sharpen the pixels. Though it will slow down a bit at parts.
Buttons are:
d-pad- Move around
A-Attack
X-A little weird for me, open doors then sometimes i can fly up and down while holding it then forward or backward
Y-Jump
B-Use item and sometimes it dosn't use the item and skips to the next inventory item
R-Switch weapons
L-Cycle through the inventory
Select-Map
Touchscreen-Look around

I tried an earlier version some time ago, but couldn't get it to recognize my .wad... What's the MD5 of the one y'all are using?

 

[OSW]

Isn't working on my ez4. i'm sure i patched it right too.

Do you have the original games wad?

 

[FrostyKnight]

On my R4 the sound was just high pitched static and it would always crash after awhile.

 

[SpaceJump]

Works fine for me on R4. Make sure you have the correct .wad file.

 

[tavistd]

i hate to ask but can anyone post the hexen wad somewhere?

 

[FrostyKnight]

My friend, with an M3 lite, used the same .wad and it worked fine

Is there a newer R4 dldi driver or something?

 

[GameGeezer]

It works fine on the G6 Lite. I'm using the retail Hexen wad (1.1) which is 19,613 kb. I don't think the shareware hexen will work.

hey guys, i've tried this new version on my DS-X and it did not work, the game launch but after choosing the class and difficulty level, it freezes ; I have the original wad, and I installed the game on my card as said in the txt so I don't understand, some advice ?? because I love this game and is seems to work fine on DS

 

[RexNebular]

It should work on DS-X OS 1.02 or 1.1 but not on 1.01. It may not work on a highly fragmented drive, so you could try formatting then copying over Hexen.

 

[OSW]

Isn't working on my ez4. i'm sure i patched it right too.


Do you have the original games wad?

Its original. It is also 19,613 kb like the guy above.

strange. can any other ez4 users test this?

 

[Sil3n7]

I cant get it to find my file. I have scsd and have both the dir and booter on the root.

 

[RexNebular]

Did you try using a DLDI patch? Test scsd.dldi and scsd_moon.dldi. Is it standard SD or mini or micro?

 

[Sil3n7]

its standard sd and I have tried the scsd.dldi patch

 

[OSW]

for reference, i got this working a while ago.
