Kuklomenos is an abstract shoot-em-up. Minimalistic graphics, short game-length. Gameplay lies somewhere between Centipede and Starship Command.

Hexen 2 Engine v1 (Wiz Game Port)

Pickle released an engine port to be used with Hexen II data files.

Here is some background information for Hexen II, shameless stolen from Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexen_II ):

Hexen II was a first-person shooter computer game developed by Raven Software from 1996 to 1997, published by id Software and distributed by Activision. It was the third game in the Hexen/Heretic series, and the last in the Serpent Riders trilogy. Using a modified Quake engine, it featured single player and multi player game modes, as well as four character classes to choose from, each with different abilities. These included the offensive Paladin, the defensive Crusader, the spellcasting Necromancer, and the stealthy Assassin.

Improvements from Hexen and Quake included destructible environments, mounted weapons, and unique level up abilities. Like its predecessor, Hexen II also used a hub system. These hubs were a number of interconnected levels; changes made in one level had effects in another. The Tome of Power artifact made a return from Heretic.

HHexen v1 (Wiz Game Port)

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.

NewsWeeZ (Wiz misc)

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!

USB-Ethernet for Wiz (Wiz misc)

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.

Handy Wiz v001 (Alpha) (Lynx emu for Wiz)

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

Quote:

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.
