Homebrew [Release] ctrHexenII - Hexen II porting for 3DS

[Rinnegatamante]

"For the sound when changing level, i was trying to "fix" it right now (just set the audio playaback volume to 0 until it finishes loading)."

Well, that is actually a fix Dont forget that the same thing happens when saving as well!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I donated 40 euros

But please consider trying to move the statusmenu to the lower screen sometime. It would make you even more proud of your great port!

Fixxed for the config save loading (so if a config file exists (it get created automatically when you exit ctrHexenII), all the settings will be re-loaded at ctrHexenII startup).

Really thank your for your donation and your patience testing the whole thing

You will probably not getting the statusmenu on the lower screen in this release... But for this release you could perhaps make an option to turn the lower screen off? Maybe you have any application that already does this? Otherwise you could borrow Retroarchs code for lower screen turn off?

Quite sure gsp::LCD is not accessible in usermode (at least for what i've experienced with lpp-3ds).

Hmm. But Retroarch does that in their 3DSX builds.. Don't know if they Retroarch is actually turning the lower screen off. But at least it is black.. Perhaps @aliaspider has done something like, black pixels only?

The joy was mine!

And this is an example (or proof) that shows that the most talented guys in the 3DS scene could do a Half life port

(If Hexen II takes a couple of evenings to make this great, then Half Life should be possible, even if that kind of port would need some more time..)

Im looking forward for the official Hexen II release

Anyway the game console is something kinda useful to have at least. I can add a total console shutdown if R is hold on startup maybe.

Really appreciate your hard work today on this Rinnegatamante, and I'm hyped to try our the updated version!

 

[Rinnegatamante]

In regards to the perfect sound - does this stay in sync after 10 minutes or so? This is very similar to the timing values I used for prboom3ds and it gets out of sync after about 10 minutes.

@elhobbs i've noticed a slight out of sync with csnd:SND wrapper but dsp:SP seems pretty solid and synced.

EDIT: Fixxing some minor things and reviewing the entire code.
Probably release will came tomorrow.

Moving the statusmenu on lower screen is not as trivial as it seems cause i'm quite sure the menu is rendered with internal functions (it means it get printed with the same renderer used for the whole game).

I was wondering one thing. You don't actually have to move the status menu. Perhaps it could be possible to duplicate, clone or mirror the status menu to the lower screen?

It's the same, you always have to make a second renderer (which is difficult and fps killer since actually ctrHexenII uses software rendering).

Ok. Thanks anyway for your work!

What about a voice in option menu to enable gyroscope for camera movement? I can easily adapt the code used in Labyrinth 3D ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/re-release-labyrinth-3d.409007/ ).

EDIT: Added <.<

Yay! But this topic title is a bit wrong after this release

Yay! But this topic title is a bit wrong after this release

Asked moderators for a correction but until i get a proper GPU render fully working, it should be considered as a "dirty" ones since on O3DS it has a pretty bad framerate. (Especially if there is water in render scene).

Cool! I have been playing with this build for a while now. A couple of things:

I'm testing on a N3DS. 3dsx build hax 2.6.

- I didn't notice any speed difference between the cia and 3dsx. I guess both have 804 mhz enabled?
- The cia version has no sound for me. (So I'm leaving the cia version for now)
- when closing the n3ds while ingame and opening it again, the sound gets unsynced.
- Nice with the lower black screen But it would be great to add an additional option how we would like to have the lower screen. We have to push the R button at the exact right moment for it to get executed. If we push too early, the game crashes. If we push the R button to late, nothing happens.
- Very nice build! It seems very stable. Hexen II rocks!

No sound? What audio service you get? On my N3DS sound works fine with CIA build.

Dsp. It's working fine on the 3dsx version though.

Works great on o3ds and saves without a hitch, fantastic job fps is not too bad either, it's still perfectly playable. I'm also reporting no sound in the cia version

 

[SLiV3R]

After around one hour ingame. I got this on the debug screen. The audio is still the same. Don't know if this matters. But I thought it is better to report, than not to report.

Btw. I really love this game. It's more "open world" than Quake 1. (Even though Quake 1 is a much bigger classic) And Hexen II has a lot of destructible stuff. I smash it all

As for the audio in CIA build, can you try to rename/remove dspfirm.cdc file in your 3ds folder and see if the same happens with csnd:SND?
