xDescent v1.0 ported by A600

This port is based on D2X-Rebirth and it was possible thanks to the SDLx libs by Lantus,
Bradley Bell and the D2X team, zico and MD 2211

For Descent copy the following files to the folder where you installed xDescent:

descent.hog
descent.pig

For Descent II:

descent2.ham
descent2.hog
descent2.s11
descent2.s22
alien1.pig
alien2.pig
fire.pig
groupa.pig
ice.pig
water.pig
intro-h.mvl
other-h.mvl
robots-h.mvl

This port supports HDTV modes but it you want to use the 720p mode, you must run
the default720.xbe or rename it to default.xbe

Addon levels must be copied to the \missions folder.

Recorded demos are saved to the \demos folder.

By default, xDescent plays the midi files located on the \music folder but you
can overwrite them with the music of your choice. Supported formats are:
ogg, mid, xm, s3m, mod (mp3s aren't supported). These are the names of the music
files:

briefing.mus
credits.mus
descent.mus
game01.mus
game02.mus
game03.mus
game04.mus

KNOWN BUGS
----------

- Death scene isn't displayed
- Descent II has some minor graphic glitches
- Descent has some major graphic glitches but they don't affect the gameplay

Until a new version of d2x-Rebirth SDL fixes these bugs, there is nothing
I can do about them.

This is just great, what can I say...Thanks for the hard work!

The 720p support, that is just perfect.

From what I understand, Descent 1 game files are in-cluded with the D1 source package but not D2 correct?

I can't get this to work

I put the hog and pig files in the root directory

descent.hog 6,856,701
descent.pig 4,920,305

it just freezes the xbox, any help ?

I've only got descent 1, does this matter ?

Dude you rock, keep up the porting!

Sorry, I didn't think about that. This a Descent 2 port that allows to play the original Descent so you also need the Descent 2 files.

A little birdy told me that it was posted on that place in the sky with both descent I and II files...not that I had any idea what the lil birdy meant...

Anyways...great job A600, you have brought some life back into the xbox homebrew scene. Great port. Works well and its fun.

This is freakin' awesome! Can I offer you my first born children?

zi99y · « **Reply #10 on:** May 15, 2006, 04:06:00 AM »

Is this the same A600 who has been single handedly keeping the GP32 homebrew community alive? And the same A600 who I read an interesting article in the latest Retro Gamer about? And now I've got an XBox if find you're doing more amazing work here?

Well I'm lost for words, thank you for your incredible dedication. As soon as I get to understanding homebrew on this strange beast I will be sure to try out your ports.

cheers

Or, stop hounding him with requests. A600, we expect nothing from you and yet you provide us with a lot, that in itself is good enough.
