You are part of an elite group of operatives called HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), and you must stop a maniac cult leader from killing millions of people. While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring. In the distance you see your boat–your only chance to escape–explode into matchsticks. In front of you is a huge fortress monastery, and your only chance to stop the madness. You are e quipped with awesome, high-tech weaponry like heat-seeking missiles, split missiles, and the Flamewall cannon, which leaves a trail of charred skeletons in its wake. You’ll also find magical instruments and weapons so incredible they defy description.

Changes:

* The registered version is now supported. You must supply your own DARKWAR.WAD, DARKWAR.RTL, and DARKWAR.RTC files.
* Customize Keyboard screen now displays names of DS controls, for easier remapping.
* Note: I made a minor change to the default control mapping; delete your CONFIG.ROT file and the game will auto-generate a new one.

This is a simple port of the DLDItool Cli (by Chishm). This is useful for people that do not have devices with auto patching firmwares, so you could patch dldi apps/games downloaded from the internet or without a computer. npc3232 has tested it on the Supercard DS One and Max Media Dock without problems, so it should be compatible.

Instructions:
1. Patch this dldi patcher with a dldi patcher and copy it to the card. It could probably patch itself if there were two copies.
2. Copy the patch to the root of the flash card, and rename it “patch.dldi”.

ArchonDS – A remake of the original game from 1983 (Atari ST) with new graphics.

Author release notes:

After a long semester at the university and a conversion to C++ the first version of ArchonDS is available. In this version you can only play the battle between the archer and the dragon (without AI) in the woods, but the complete data structure and collision engine for the battle mode is ready now. I only have to add more characters and arenes.

d3x has updated his game “Paper Scissor Rock”.

Changes:

This new version sports some play with sprites and stylus input, colored text and what not. Next version will have at least an intro screen with instructions, because as you can see, the instructions for using X, A, B as P, S, R, are not where they were.

FlickBook is a cell animation toy. It requires a DLDI device that supports writing, so patch in the normal way.

You can move the drawing area and tool windows by holding ‘down’ on the D-pad or ‘B’ and then dragging the area around with the stylus.
You can zoom in and out of the drawing area by holding ‘up’ on the D-pad or ‘X’ and then dragging up and down with the stylus.
You can scroll through the animation frames by holding one of the shoulder buttons and dragging left and right with the stylus.
