Wii-Hexen is a version of the first-person shooter game Hexen developed by Raven Software that is designed to run on the Nintendo Wii and Wii U. It utilizes the Wii U's built-in Wii emulator, allowing users to play Hexen on their Wii U by installing the Homebrew Channel.
This port is based on the Chocolate Hexen engine, which allows for compatibility and seamless gameplay on the Wii and Wii U platforms.
Installation
To use Wii-Hexen, place the file "HEXEN.WAD" (with lowercase letters) in the same directory as "BOOT.DOL" and "PSPHEXEN.WAD."
The program will automatically create the necessary configuration file and savegame files/directories within its own directory.
When running Wii-Hexen. you have to point it to the main game's IWAD file. The corresponding resource PWAD's will be loaded automatically.
If you wish, you can also load PWAD's with these releases for custom maps/graphics/sound/music.
