vitaHexenII is a port for PS Vita of Hexen II, a popular dark-fantasy FPS created by Raven Software using a modified version of Quake Engine.

It's based on vitaQuake core and it shares a lot of features with it.

Features

Support to both standard game and Portal of Praveus expansion.
Support to both analogs for comfortable aiming and player movement.
Native support to 960x544 resolution.
Rescaler in options menu for FPS enthusiasts.
Different hidden features unlocked in the Options Menu (Like FOV).
Support to dualshock rumbling when player get hit (PSTV only).
Sounds and CDAudio (Soundtrack) support.
Software GPU Rendering.
Support to savestates.

Installation

How to install:

Place the data folder in ux0: and place your data1 folder from your Hexen II purchased installation in ux0:/data/Hexen II.
If you want to install also Portal of Praveus, copy also the portals folder to ux0:/data/Hexen II.
If you have the Steam version of Hexen II, refer to this post.

How to use soundtrack:

Soundtrack is supported in MIDI, OGG and MP3 formats.
Files must be placed in ux0:/data/Hexen II/cdtracks and must be named for example as track00.ogg, track01.ogg, etc (case-sensitive).
If you are extracting tracks from your Hexen II cd, this is the correspondence between track name and track filename:
- track02 -> casa1
- track08 -> egyp3
- track14 -> roma3
- track03 -> casa2
- track09 -> meso1
- track15 -> casb1
- track04 -> casa3
- track10 -> meso2
- track16 -> casb2
- track05 -> casa4
- track11 -> meso3
- track17 -> casb3
- track06 -> egyp1
- track12 -> roma1
- track07 -> egyp2
- track13 -> roma2

Custom Crosshair:

Starting with vitaHexenII v.2.3, it will be possible to use a completely custom crosshair with the game.
To do so, you should create a file named xhair.bin and place it in ux0:data/Hexen II/GAMEFOLDER folder (GAMEFOLDER will be data1 for main Hexen II for example).
This file must contains 64 bytes that will define the 8x8 crosshair glyph. A byte set at 0xFE will mean a visible pixel. A byte set at 0xFF will mean an invisible pixel.
The custom crosshair usage can be enabled in Options menu. If no xhair.bin is provided, when Custom crosshair will be set, QuakeWorld crosshair2 will be used.
You can also alter crosshair color by setting these three values in config.cfg - crosshaircolor_r, crosshaircolor_g, crosshaircolor_b.
By default these three values are set at 255, 255, 0.

Screenshots

Known issues

When attempting to change map, sound is not properly paused.

Changelog

Drastic performance boost thanks to ARM NEON usage and vitaGL fixes.
Added Anaglyph 3D support (red-cyan glasses only).
Added support for custom crosshairs. (See below).
Disabled FPU exceptions traps (Will make app less incline to crashes).
vitaHexenII version will now be shown on main menu background.
