Installation
How to install
Requirements:
- A Nintendo Wii Console with Homebrew Channel installed.
- An original Wii Classic Controller connected to the Wiimote or Wii U Pro Controller (plays best).
- An USB-drive or SD-Card.
Instructions:
- Copy the "APPS" folder to the root of your USB device - same with the "TIMIDITY" folder.
- If you want, you can install the FORWARDER WAD's corresponding to your console using YAWMM.
- The contents of the main game's DATA1 folder are required in order to get the game to run.
- Do not rename the game directory as it's specific to the source code.
- Do not move or rename any of the files within the game directory that came with this release.
OGG music playback
Wii-HEXEN II supports the playback of external OGG music if you provide them as described by the creators of "Hammer of Thyrion".
First, you must reencode them for use with the Wii by using FFMPEG with the following command (example): ffmpeg -i track02.mp3 -acodec libvorbis -ar 32000 track02.ogg
32000Hz is the standard format for the Wii and it's hardware-specific.
After that, rename the files as described below and place them within the main game data's subdirectory "music", which means:
apps/wiihexen2/data1/music:
- track02 -> casa1
- track03 -> casa2
- track04 -> casa3
- track05 -> casa4
- track06 -> egyp1
- track07 -> egyp2
- track08 -> egyp3
- track09 -> meso1
- track10 -> meso2
- track11 -> meso3
- track12 -> roma1
- track13 -> roma2
- track14 -> roma3
- track15 -> casb1
- track16 -> casb2
- track17 -> casb3
apps/wiihexen2/portals/music:
- track02 -> tulku7
- track03 -> tulku1
- track04 -> tulku4
- track05 -> tulku2
- track06 -> tulku9
- track07 -> tulku10
- track08 -> tulku6
- track09 -> tulku5
- track10 -> tulku8
- track11 -> tulku3
- (track12 won't match to anything, leave as is)
HEXEN II music goes into apps/wiihexen2/data1/music.
PORTAL OF PRAEVUS music goes into apps/wiihexen2/portals/music.
Don't forget to rename the files according to their map names. For me it worked fine in the end. Finally CD music as well.
Within the game, switch "MUSIC TYPE" within the "OPTIONS" menu to "ALL CODECS". This should enable it.
Controls
Recommended Classic Controller configuration by Tetsuo Shima.
