Hacked Hexen is an Open Source Hexen engine based on K.Robillard’s Linux Hexen engine. Hexen is a first person shooter, commercially published by id Software 1996 and developed by Raven Software.

Hexen data files are not included with the download and need to be obtained from somewhere else! As they are still subject to copyright, we can not help with this matter.

HHexen has been ported to Wiz by no one else than Pickle. One of the most active porters in the Wiz scene.

XWolf has updated his game Biological Defend. It’s a tower defense game, first seen at a coding competition hold by GP32spain.

Thanks to http://lostsite.altervista.org/wiz/?p=190 for the news.

Mr 2X has decided to run his own page covering GP2x-F100, GP2x-F200 and GP2x Wiz news.

It’s always great to see more pages appearing who write about homebrew software and related things.

Good luck!

Wiz developers will be happy to read that their life is getting a bit easier. Read on:

Quote from EvilDragon:

hcf did it – although it only was a small patch, it makes developing for the WIZ so much more comfortable!

hcf created a small program for the WIZ, which enables USB-Ethernet using the stock WIZ USB cable. This does mean, that it is now possible to copy files over directly to the WIZ, run them via command line and see the debug output. The same way it worked on the GP2X F100.

This is a very alpha port of Handy SDL, using GPH’s SDL (ie: several layers of slowdowns in there), but it performs alright.

This one is for DaveC.

Well, maybe not so much for poor Dave, since I did add scaling in so he might be PO’d, but its a start 😉

This is a very alpha port of stock Handy for SDL, using GPH’s SDL (ie: several layers of slowdowns in there), but it performs alright. I should move it to run right on the harsware which would make it perform much better and fix sound, but I’ve not had much time and thought a quick port woudl be better than no-port, right? That said, it works, but don’t expect much. If you like it, I can fix it up 😉 Sound is choppy, no ROM picker, but you can see if it works 😉

Grab it here for now:
http://www.codejedi.com/handy/binaries/handy-wiz-001-alpha.zip

I included a brief INSTALL.txt or somesuch, copied here:

This is your alpha-hack; it works alright, but no frills yet 🙂

1) There is no UI yet; a Lynx ROM must be specified upon on the command line,
for which I’m supplying handy.gpe for — edit that to specify a ROM.

2) Invoke handy.gpe from the Wiz -> Launcher menu item

3) You will need to obtain Lynx Boot ROM and name it “lynxboot.img” — any
other filename and you’re out of luck.

4) libiconv is included; keep it in the same directory or it will not run.

5) By default, handy.gpe runs the ROM file “foo.lnx”, so you can just
drop in a replacement ROM-file, named that.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
