The DS Heretic Site (http://heretic.drunkencoders.com/) have posted some WIP news concerning their port of Heretic to the Nintendo DS, heres the scoop:
August 17, 2005 -- More speed enhancements.
Under advice from MrAdults (Hexen port), I reimplemented the zone caching system instead of using the game assets straight off the cart (since the cart has a 3 wait state delay). This has speed things up another step. I have been having some trouble with my sound code, however. Sometimes it crashes right away, sometimes it works fine for the entire play session. Once I fix this, I am going to release a version 0.2.
