Port of Chex Quest (1996) to the PlayStation Vita, built on top of the doomgeneric source port of Doom.

A PSP version is also available: Chex Quest PSP.

Native Vita backend (no SDL), with video, audio, and input implemented directly against Vita system libraries.
OPL3 FM music synthesis via Nuked-OPL3.
Supports chex.wad, doom1.wad and doom.wad.
Quick save/load functionality.
Dual analog stick controls.

Requirements:

Instructions:

Left Analog - Move

Right Analog - Turn

Square or R - Fire

Cross - Use / Open

L - Run

Triangle - Automap

Circle - Strafe Modifier

Start - Menu

Select - Confirm

D-Pad Left/Right - Weapon Cycle

D-Pad Up - Quick Save (saves to slot 0)

D-Pad Down - Quick Load (saves to slot 0)

Quick Save and Quick Load have a 1-second cooldown. The in-game save/load menu does not work; use these button combos instead.

Chex Quest (PC) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN) (Cinemassacre)

Music is simplified: only 9 OPL voices, single-voice instruments only. Two-voice GENMIDI patches are not rendered correctly. Music sounds noticeably different from the original PC version.
Pitch bend is parsed but ignored. Notes play at fixed pitch regardless of MUS pitch bend events.
No gamma control (usegamma is hardcoded to 0).
Nearest-neighbor scaling only. The 320x200 framebuffer is scaled to 960x544 without filtering.
No external controller or mouse support.
If no WAD file is found, the game logs an error and exits after 5 seconds with no on-screen message.
