I've ported Hexen and Heretic to the Xbox. The files should be available trough xbins soon so, meanwhile, enjoy the readmes  

xHeretic

xHeretic v1.0 ported by A600

This port is based on HHeretic, UHexen and Heretic32 (my GP32 port) and it was possible thanks to the SDLx libs by Lantus.

to the folder where you installed xHeretic

Copy the full or shareware version (hexen.wad) to the folder where you installed xHexen

IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't use the 1.0 version of the full game (20.128.392 bytes)
because there are some problems with it. Use instead 1.1 or 1.2 (20.083.672 bytes) versions.

Hey, this is a pleasant surprise.

I'm seriously hoping these run from disc as well as HDD.

Nice job.

[Thraxen]

Wow... I didn't know anyone was working on a project like this.  Thanks!

[Joshua Wood]

Awseome. Thanks and keep up the much appreciated hard work.

I haven't tested it myself from the DVD drive but it should work because I made sure that the savegames, config and temp files are saved to the E:\TDATA folder

[Thraxen]

Quick question... and sorry if this is in the documentation (haven't looked yet), can this be used to play the Hexen expansion pack too?

[SlyBeast]

Hey, sweet!  I was just asking about this not long ago.  Thanks so much!  This is with music too, right?

That's a hidden feature  
I didn't add it to the readme because 99% of people don't read the documentation and the wads file browser is a bit crappy.

Anyway, create a filename with the name wads.cfg and the following lines:

QUOTE

#Hexen wads
Hexen =
Death Kings of the Dark Citadel = -file hexdd.wad -nomusic

Copy it to the xHexen folder. Next time you run xHexen, a wads selector will appear. If the wads.cfg only has one entry, the wads selector won't appear and it'll run that entry.

Yo can add up to 20 entries and use options like -warp, etc

btw, you must add the option -nomusic to the Death Kings of the Dark Citadel entry., if not the same menu music track will play forever (all Hexen interpreters I tried have the same problem)

You can also use the wads.cfg for xHeretic. Here is an example:

QUOTE

#Heretic wads
Heretic =
A Dark Day in Hell = -file darkday.wad
Abbey3 = -file abbey3.wad
Asteriel = -file asteriel.wad
BAB Heretic = -file babhtdm.wad
Creatures of Light and Darkness = -file cold10.wad
Enchanter = -file enchantr.wad
Frags96 = -file frags96.wad
House of Horror = -file horror.wad
LHET = -file lhet400.wad
The Crypts = -file crypts.wad -warp 1 7

And another one for Hexen:

QUOTE

#Hexen wads
Hexen =
Death Kings of the Dark Citadel = -file hexdd.wad
Caldera = -file caldera.wad
Centromere = -file cent092b.wad
Chuxen: Beyond Hexen = -file chuxen.wad
HexQuake = -file hexquake.wad
The Dark Portal = -file drkportl.wad
Undermountain = -file black.wad

Yes and I doubt you'll ever find a best pack of timidity patches than the ones I in-cluded.

Sounds great!  Thanks again.  I'll be trying this as soon as I get off work.

[Sirmatto]

Very nice, much appreciated.  I'm with Thraxen, this came out of nowhere, but surprises are good.  I'm definitely liking the resurgance of the homebrew scene lately.

Hey man, I don't think Iriez has visited the forums in days. You should send an email to Xantium instead. Good Luck

I sent the e-mail to the first address that appears in the xbins about page (Iriez)
So, can Xamtium upload files to xbin?

Anyway, the files are available on the "french" page if you know what I mean.
