+
+
+### Requirements
+- You will need the latest DOSBox Pure UWP `.zip` release.
+- DOSBox Pure UWP is a standalone DOS emulator for Windows and Xbox Dev Mode.
+- It does not require RetroArch.
+
+### Install DOSBox Pure UWP
+- Download the latest `.zip` release.
+- Extract the `.zip`.
+- Install the `.msix` via the Xbox Device Portal.
+
+### Add DOS Games
+- Launch DOSBox Pure UWP.
+- Select **Load Game**.
+- Press **A** to open the built-in file browser.
+- Browse to your DOS game file.
+- Select the file to launch it.
+
+Supported formats include:
+
+| Format | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `.zip` | ZIP archive containing DOS game files |
+| `.dosz` | DOSBox Pure compressed archive |
+| `.exe` | DOS executable |
+| `.com` | DOS COM file |
+| `.bat` | DOS batch file |
+| `.iso` | CD-ROM image |
+| `.chd` | Compressed CD image |
+| `.cue` + `.bin` | CUE and BIN CD image |
+| `.img` / `.ima` | Floppy disk image |
+| `.vhd` | Virtual hard disk |
+| `.conf` | DOSBox configuration file |
+
+### Creating ZIP Files
+The easiest way to package a DOS game is as a `.zip` file.
+
+For single-folder games, zip the contents of the game folder.
+
+Example:
+
+```text
+DOOM/
+├── DOOM.EXE
+├── DOOM.WAD
+├── SETUP.EXE
+└── README.TXT
+```
+
+On Windows:
+
+```text
+Right click the folder > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder
+```
+
+### ZIP File Notes
+- Use uppercase filenames and extensions where possible.
+- Include launchers such as `INSTALL.BAT` or `SETUP.EXE` if the game needs them.
+- Do not put ZIP files inside other ZIP files.
+- Keep ZIP files below 4GB where possible on Xbox.
+
+### Multiple Disk Games
+Games with multiple floppy disks can be packaged in one ZIP.
+
+Example:
+
+```text
+KQ5.ZIP
+├── DISK1/
+├── DISK2/
+└── DISK3/
+```
+
+DOSBox Pure's built-in menu can be used to swap disks during gameplay.
+
+### Default Xbox Controls
+
+| Xbox Control | Default Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| D-pad | Navigate menus / arrow keys in-game |
+| A | Confirm / primary action |
+| B | Back / cancel |
+| X | Varies by game |
+| Y | Varies by game |
+| LB / RB | Page up/down in menus / disk swap |
+| LT / RT | Triggers, mapped per game |
+| Left Stick | Mouse emulation |
+| Right Stick | Scroll / secondary input |
+| Start | PUREMENU |
+| Back | Close menu / exit |
+
+### Keyboard and Mouse
+- Keyboard input uses standard DOS keyboard mapping.
+- On Windows, USB mouse input works directly.
+- On Xbox, mouse input is emulated through the left analogue stick.
+- USB mouse input is not supported on Xbox due to UWP platform limitations.
+
+Useful keyboard shortcuts:
+
+| Key | Action |
+| --- | --- |
+| F10 | Toggle menu |
+| Ctrl + L | Open system file picker fallback |

+---
+
+
+### Requirements
+- You will need the game data from a legally owned copy of **Hexen II**.
+- The app does not include the retail PAK files.
+- This is **Hexen II: Hammer of Thyrion**, packaged for Xbox Dev Mode.
+
+### Install uHexen2
+- Install the uHexen2 app via the Xbox Device Portal including the dependency file.
+- Launch the app once, then close it.
+- This creates the app's LocalState folder.
+
+### Base Game Setup
+Using the Xbox Device Portal file browser, place the base game PAK files here:
+
+```text
+LocalState/data1/pak0.pak
+LocalState/data1/pak1.pak
+```
+
+Do not leave the files inside a ZIP file.
+
+Do not place them inside another folder.
+
+Once the files are in place, start the app again.
+
+### Portal of Praevus Setup
+Portal of Praevus requires the base game PAK files as well as its own retail PAK file.
+
+Keep the `data1` folder in place, then add:
+
+```text
+LocalState/portals/pak3.pak
+```
+
+Close and reopen the app after copying the file.
+
+Portal of Praevus is detected automatically.
+
+The Single Player menu will show:
+
+- **New Mission** for Portal of Praevus
+- **Old Mission** for the original Hexen II campaign
+
+Portal saves are stored here:
+
+```text
+LocalState/portals/
+```
+
+### Music Setup
+External music replaces the original MIDI tracks and is required for music playback in this UWP build. Without these files, the game will have no music.
+
+OGG is recommended, but this build also accepts:
+
+- Opus
+- MP3
+- FLAC
+- WAV
+- `.it`
+- `.s3m`
+- `.xm`
+- `.mod`
+
+### Base Game Music
+Place the base game music files here:
+
+```text
+LocalState/data1/music/
+```
+
+The files must use the game's track names.
+
+For OGG, the base game tracks should be named:
+
+```text
+casa1.ogg
+casa2.ogg
+casa3.ogg
+casa4.ogg
+egyp1.ogg
+egyp2.ogg
+egyp3.ogg
+meso1.ogg
+meso2.ogg
+meso3.ogg
+roma1.ogg
+roma2.ogg
+roma3.ogg
+casb1.ogg
+casb2.ogg
+casb3.ogg
+```
+
+Do not use `trackXX` names.
+
+### Portal of Praevus Music
+Place Portal music here:
+
+```text
+LocalState/portals/music/
+```
+
+Use these track names:
+
+```text
+tulku1.ogg
+tulku2.ogg
+tulku3.ogg
+tulku4.ogg
+tulku5.ogg
+tulku6.ogg
+tulku7.ogg
+tulku8.ogg
+tulku9.ogg
+tulku10.ogg
+```
+
+### Enable Music In-Game
+In the game, open **Options**.
+
+Set:
+
+```text
+Music Type: All Codecs
+```
+
+Then raise **Music Volume** above zero.
+
+MIDI and CD music modes do not play these external music files in the UWP build.
+
+### Saves and Settings
+Saves and settings are kept in LocalState.
