Is this project still alive?
Nope.

I wish I could make it sound less pessimistic, but "Nope" is the most positive thing I can come up with.

Duke Nukem 3D SDL:
You see, it's not only that most Duke Nukem 3D SDL ports I've seen take up quite a load of RAM (DC has only 16MB of main Memory), SDL for DC is actually kinda slow. :|

Hexen II:
I made the bootdisc with Bero's binaries and it didn't work. Until my C++ is a bit better, there's nothing to be done about these numerous bugs.

It would be cool if someone with more skill could make it work. But as far as I know, nobody is working on these ports right now. :(
For Great Justice!
