Another entrant into the NeoFlash Spring Coding Competition, GPF's Duke3Ds is a port of Duke Nukem 3D port from GP2X. Amazing how the ports come so much sooner than Duke Nukem Forever, which is still taking forever and a day to make.

There's some technical stuff you need to consider closely though, so listen up. Here's what GPF mentioned on his post to NeoFlash:

DLDI patch .nds and copy it and defs.con, game.con, user.con, duke3d.grp and supplied duke3d.cfg to /duke3d directory of card. Might be case sensitive with Uppercase. It still needs sound added and network support, but is playable with your own provided shareware .grp or full version .grp file.

As for the directions, we've got them below. Feel free to check out the rest of the happening on it direct from GPF's site, which we'll be using as a primary source. Enjoy!

Directions:

• d-pad - move Duke
• a - fire
• b - jump
• x - look up
• y - look down
• left trigger - strafe left
• right trigger - strafe right
• select - use item

You may remember that Troy Davis aka GPF has released his port of xRick (Rick Dangerous) with v1.0 for DS. Well, if you like the game, you should be happy to know that he released a new port of xRick DS for the 1.5 version.

xRick was originally developed by BigOrno (the writer of the code). It's a game based on Core Design's character in two platform games named Rick Dangerous. In the first game, the protagonist was like Indiana Jones, while in the second one, he was more like Flash Gordon.

Back to the xRick DS v1.5, here are the controls according to the developer:

• left, right, up (jump) or down (crawl): arrow keys
• fire: A button pause: Start button
• use left, right, up, down + fire to poke something with your stick, lay a stick of dynamite, or fire a bullet.
• cheat modes, "trainer": Left Trigger ; "never die": Left Trigger twice ; "expose": Left Trigger 3 times.
• Swap screens : Right Trigger
