DsHeretic is a port of the classic Raven game Heretic to the Nintendo DS, a classic first person shooter created by Raven software released on 12/21/1994.

You will need to obtain your own WAD in order to to run this homebrew. The shareware WAD is supported, which you can get from Raven.

Installation

Note: The Shareware WAD will run with this build. gbfs.zip is included in the archive.

To install, copy entire contents to the root directory of the card.

Place your Heretic Wad in that directory and make sure it is called Heretic.wad.

Unzip gbfs into the directory.

Execute make_dsHeretic.bat, this will create dsHeretic.ds.gba.

Flash dsHeretic.ds.gba onto your gba cart.

Run with PassMe/Wifime/FlashMe (This game automatically uses the SRAM to save your options. If you have another game's saves in your SRAM, you may want to back them up before running dsHeretic).
