Chex Quest GBA: A fork of GBADoom to play Chex Quest on GameBoy Advance

[Redneckerz]

Note: There is already an excellent GBADoom thread by @Doomhack and @Kippykip , but this is significant enough to warrant its own thread, i feel. In case you are wondering what i am referring to, i have linked the thread below:

 

 

In short: GBADoom is a fork of PrBoom modified significantly to work on the GameBoy Advance at sufficiently playable framerates.

 

Introduction:

Author Jinroh, who runs Mao Mao Media, a developer of Carrot Kingdom for the Atari 2600, has taken the GBADoom source code and crafted his own custom fork, dedicated to play Chex Quest. Levels, enemies, weapons are converted over to work with the GBADoom derived fork and to be playable on the GameBoy Advance. Its not fully complete yet, but it should be playable for most of the game.

From the author's mouth:

It has most everything Chex Quest has, most everything that needed re-coded or transferred over has been done. I just hacked in all the Chex Quest Relevant stuff.

**Bugs:** On level 2 sometimes it will go into an infinite loop after hitting the exit switch. Have not found time to investigate too much yet (new school semester started). Until fixed, if this occurs you can, reboot, and use the level skip code and skip ahead. That works.

**What's different?**

• Text strings changed.
• Sounds updated.
• Disabled Episode select.
• Correct Monster Behavior.
• Barrels do not explode.
• Music Converted to .IT MOD format.
• HUD Statusbar converted.

**What is needed?**

• Status Bar Percent Signs Disappeared.
• Fix some long text strings.
• Add flag to flip A -> B or B -> A buttons.
• Animated End of Level Bootspork Chex Warrior.
• Flashing Green from Explosions.
• Maybe More?

Chex Quest? Oh yes, it runs Chex Quest too.

Someone should photoshop that onto a 2000s Chex box, styling it like the 90s Chex Boxes that had the Chex Quest CD in them.
