Many congrats Ian !

Is there a new download link ?

No download link for right now but it will not be long for an alpha test for people getting it to run just on a real dreamcast drove me to point of wanting to give up or go mad

first port worked perfect on nulldc but crashed and would not run on hardware..

progress is now proper ported base
todo now is redo the sound code again for sfx
cdda code and or ogg support ? might slow it way to much but would let sd card user on dreamshell have music..

not to keen on midi music soundtrack..

controls for dc
vmu compressed saving

Opengl render version test..

right now starting behind because of how much work i had to do to get it to work on real hardware so.. i have to redo all the sound code again cdda code etc..

still very happy once at this point for me it's a clear path to getting a nice complete port of hexen hacked advanced this loads other things and is much more complex features then bero's old port it's based on 2008 upgraded hexen engine ...

Dont want to rush ahead but heretic will be next after this is complete.. i have that running from last year but i wanted to do this one first..

Oh Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel add on now working on this port

Code: Select all

Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel is the only official expansion pack for Hexen: Beyond Heretic. It was released on January 1, 1996. The game features 26 new levels; 20 new single player maps spread across 3 hubs and 6 new deathmatch maps. It also includes the v1.1 patch for the original Hexen.

Deathkings starts off where the original Hexen story left off. Having discovered the Chaos Sphere after the death of Korax, the sphere whisks the heroes away to the Realm of the Dead, and they must find their way home. Getting back will not be easy, though, for the way is blocked by the Dark Citadel. (The storyline behind the expansion therefore seems similar to episodes four and five of Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders.)
