DOS/32A
DOS/32A is a more advanced extender and open source replacement to DOS4GW. It can improve both performance and stability of PowerSlave/Exhumed.
EX / PS DeHacker
A patcher utility that provides bug fixes and enhancement such as proper strafing, autorun, toggleable mouse look and higher resolutions.
- Patch works with both Powerslave and Exhumed.
- Earlier versions of this patcher have issues with DOS32A above (gives a runtime 200 error). Use the CauseWay Extender instead.

Map Browser
Allows easy browsing and management of user maps. Also allows jumping through default levels.
User Maps/Addons
- El-Gizah - Single map with some custom art. It is advised to use the rescripted version as it includes a batch script to automate file renaming.
- Return to Ruins - A 3-maps mini episode. User can avoid overwriting files (if using the map browser utility for instance) by renaming the included
LEV*.MAP
files toRUIN*.MAP
and using the following batch script to launch it:
- Return to Ruins batch script
@echo off echo Starting Return to Ruins... pause COPY LEV1.map LEV1.bme COPY LEV2.map LEV2.bme COPY LEV3.map LEV3.bme COPY ruin1.map LEV1.map COPY ruin2.map LEV2.map COPY ruin3.map LEV3.map CLS PS /1 /h COPY LEV1.bme LEV1.map COPY LEV2.bme LEV2.map COPY LEV3.bme LEV3.map DEL LEV*.bme echo Files restored...
