Hacking Hexen on R4DS?

[stoicstudios989]

Hey all,

I noticed that Doom now works on the R4DS, which is sweet! Anyone tried to get the Hexen homebrew to work on the R4DS?

Looking forward to that game

try using the hexen .wad in DSDoom

edit: rename it to doom.wad

Does that work? I was planning on trying that if no one else had once I finally get my R4.

No.......it's like renaming a snes rom to game.nds and expect it to work

if you've got heretic, and rename heretic.wad to doom.wad, it should work.

dunno about hexen though.

(this works for the PSP emulator, same thing goes for Quake2)

BTW: somebody should really test this

Hexen, Heretic, Doom2 - all in one place!

this site got some awesome wad files.

Thank you. This is what I was basing my idea on. No, it probably won't work, but it certainly has a better shot than "renaming a snes rom to .nds"

quote from website: "DSDoom loads any Prboom-compatible IWAD file."

doesn't this mean that it should work?

here's goldeneye converted to a wad file running on the DS using DoomDS

Pics are not taken by me, it's taken by someone on the scdev forums

so yeah, it should work with all iwad files, if the file you got is pwad (expansion map packs, mods and stuff like that) you should try to convert it to iwad first by merging it.

The goldeneye mod looks great. Keep in mind that the goldeneye is a reconstruction of the doom.wad (most likely the one from doom2). I was wondering about pwads though, as there are some really cool ones. But DS Doom has no command line as to intergrate them in the original iwad. But that link suggested a program that merges the pwad with the iwad into an doom.wad which is exactly what I was looking for

Goldeneye would be so sweet!! I wonder how you'd look up and down though?

The goldeneye mod is a modification of the doom wad, restricting itself to what laws the original engine is capable of. In short.. you can't
