Reorganized settings into new categories: "SCREEN SETTINGS", "CONTROL SETTINGS", "SOUND SETTINGS", "SYSTEM SETTINGS", and "GAME SETTINGS".
Added new options for screen brightness, SFX volume, music volume, and track selection.
Separate config files for HEXEN and DEATHKINGS.
Enhanced controls, including improved analog stick functionality and memory/palette cleanup upon quitting the game.
Applied final code optimizations for overall performance improvements.

Installation

WAD location

Place the file HEXEN.WAD in the same folder as EBOOT.PBP.

Place the file HEXDD.WAD in the same folder as EBOOT.PBP (only if you want to play the addon - it's not needed to run the main game "HEXEN").

MP3 songlist

In order to get the original game soundtrack to work in the correct order, you have to convert them to mp3 and rename the songs in the following order (lowercase just to be sure):

WINNOWR.MP3 = SONG1.MP3
JACHR.MP3 = SONG2.MP3
SIMONR.MP3 = SONG3.MP3
WUTZITR.MP3 = SONG4.MP3
FALCONR.MP3 = SONG5.MP3
LEVELR.MP3 = SONG6.MP3
CRYPTR.MP3 = SONG7.MP3
SWAMPR.MP3 = SONG8.MP3
DEEPR.MP3 = SONG9.MP3
FUBASR.MP3 = SONG10.MP3
GROVER.MP3 = SONG11.MP3
FORTR.MP3 = SONG12.MP3
VOIDR.MP3 = SONG13.MP3
CHAP_1R.MP3 = SONG14.MP3
SECRETR.MP3 = SONG15.MP3
CHAP_3R.MP3 = SONG16.MP3
CHAP_4R.MP3 = SONG17.MP3
CHIPPYR.MP3 = SONG18.MP3
PERCR.MP3 = SONG19.MP3
FOOJAR.MP3 = SONG20.MP3
SIXATER.MP3 = SONG21.MP3
WOBABYR.MP3 = SONG22.MP3
FANTAR.MP3 = SONG23.MP3
BLECHR.MP3 = SONG24.MP3
BONESR.MP3 = SONG25.MP3
OCTOR.MP3 = SONG26.MP3
RITHMR.MP3 = SONG27.MP3
STALKR.MP3 = SONG28.MP3
BORKR.MP3 = SONG29.MP3
CRUCIBR.MP3 = SONG30.MP3
HEXEN.MP3 = SONG31.MP3
HUB.MP3 = SONG32.MP3
HALL.MP3 = SONG33.MP3
ORB.MP3 = SONG34.MP3
CHESS.MP3 = SONG35.MP3
CHAP_2R.MP3 = SONG36.MP3

You can either do that by using the file "RENAME.BAT" for Windows users or do it manually by yourself. If you're done with renaming, you can securely delete the remaining file CHARTR.MP3 (not used by "HEXEN" or the addon "DEATHKINGS OF THE DARK CITADEL").

Finally, place the other renamed 36 MP3 files into the "MUSIC" folder within the "PSP HEXEN"'s directory.

Screenshots

Known issues

Possible issues caused by memory allocation error:

Sometimes there may be random graphical glitches and some of the game's letters (menu items / pick up text messages) disappear unexpectedly. For a temporary solution, restart the game. This error usually doesn't appear twice the time once the game is restarted.
Sometimes the game may be hanging at start or while in game it throws an error that sounds like "...Bad V_DrawPatch...". Just restart the game and it should work.
Sometimes within the game and at a random time the game may be throwing the error "R_DrawSpriteRange: bad texturecolumn". Just restart the game and it should work.
Sometimes the game may be hanging at "Entering graphics mode" when trying to run it from XMB. It's possible that you might need to try and run the game several times until it works. Sometimes it works instantly and sometimes it needs to be started several times until it will finally run.

The addon "Deathkings of the Dark Citadel" may have palette errors / mismatching colors after starting the game from XMB and getting into the main menu,

This is also a memory relation and will happen only if you once started "HEXEN" before.
The solution is simple: Just quit the Vita PSP emulator and restart it.
After that directly run the "DEATHKINGS" addon without starting "HEXEN" before. It will work now.

If you obtained the "FLYING" artifact and press the "JUMP" button (CROSS) you will most likely be automatically flying until the artifact's lifetime is drained.

There is no button to "FLY DOWN".
