DualHexan is an alternative version of HexenDS. It is a dual-screen port of Hexen to the Nintendo DS initially made by Rich Whitehouse. This modified version is made by Sektor with added support for more devices, sleep mode, quit to menu option, different control settings and some other minor changes.

It was entered into the 2009 best DS homebrew contest.
