Hexen 1


For the first Hexen it looks like I just dumped the entirety of the DOS directory into a /pandora/appdata/hexen folder..


I could figure out what files are not needed, but I'm lazy like that..

How do Hexen 1 & 2 play on the Pandora? I never played either on PC, what engine does each use?

Hexen was built on a modified Doom engine.


Hexen II is running on a heavily modified Quake engine..


Both run really smooth as they are running natively with Linux, no emulation like DOSBOX and such.


Hexen II is using 3D acceleration too, not the software renderer. Well there is two executables for Hexen II the NanoGL accelerated and the regular Software renderer.. I see no reason not to use the NanoGL version.

im pretty sure you only need the wad files for hexen 1 right?
Not sure, I think those .hxs files are important, I remember struggling figuring out what I exactly needed since just the wad files didn't cut it. so I just copied everything over.. all the files are only take up 22megs all together... the DOS executables can be deleted for sure.

A visit to eBay is required me thinks, which out of the 2 would you recommend?

Both are good in their own way, Hexen II kind of has some RPG elements in it which add a bit more depth to just punching monsters and such. The original had a bit of atmosphere to it even with the dated graphics..

For Hexen 1 and Death Kings of the Dark Citadel you just need the WAD files in the Hexen appdata directory (Hexen.wad and Hexdd.wad).

as mentioned above you only need the wads for hexen and any addons


hexen2 should be pak files and they must be patched to a latest version


recommend steam for acquiring these legally.

I recently bought both of these through steam, and I was amazed when replaying it to hear spoken dialogue in Hexen I, the main difference I find between Hexen I and Hexen II is that you can easily remap the keys for Hexen II, I haven't looked into what I need to change to remap the keys in Hexen I. As of yet, I'm doing fine with the preset key bindings.
