I found one here
http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html

I actually have a disk with the shareware on it and the full version as well. I haven't been able to get this to work with the sharewares, but I haven't tried it with the full version yet. It just keeps saying "Too many errors. 0 Warnings and 13 Errors"

I'm using a Supercard Lite and have patched it with the DLDI. I'm hoping it's just something I'm doing wrong, because I'd love to have this on my DS.

Oh wow! Just add the ability to Fire via Left Trigger, Jump via virtual button at bottom of touch screen, and I'll be able to play it via touch screen.

In the mean time, the present control scheme seems kinda..

...GBA ish.

worked fine.

all it misses is sound and a mouse ;)

oh hell yeah!

know wat'd be awesome.... QuakeNukem3D!!!

Sweet I'll try this later..

Duke Nukem 3D is my All time FAV Game EVER!! i used to make loads of Maps for it aswell using Build... so you can guess my joy as i find this!! BUT!!

it dont work with R4...





i cant use it...


Oh how this makes me cry inside... :-(

sweet! Duke Nukem in my pocket! i was surprised to see this used atomic edition. my only complaint on implemented features is the d-pad turning. seems to go in large degree increments. and the touch screen aiming should have the crosshair follow the stylus point. but, this is amazing. thanks GPF!

OMG... plus I actually got the .gpr file! I can actually play it!

Has anyone found a way to go back in the menus. Once i enter the options, i cant get out :/

The game screen should be on the top screen of the DS, and their should be the ability to swith weapons on the touch screen. The controls should be customizable as well.

I tried it without the DLDI patch and it worked. Great stuff.

Yes I would definatly at the ability to config your own controls as well as weapon select and item select and activation from the touch screen, not to mention Use.

Works with my Supercard CF (no patching) and the GRP file from the Duke3D demo. Shame about the choppiness and lack of sound, though. Still, kudos for getting it to work, period. Might want to include better usage instructions, though, as it took me a while to figure out what I needed and where to place it.

could some one uplode duke3ds.rar again when i try to d/l it i only get 212 k/bs instead of the 516 the file is thnx in advance

I cant find a .gpr file for this game can someone give me a link

Can someone please post better instructions on how to get this game running? Im new at this and ive been trying to get this to work with no luck..... i have all the files downloaded along with the .grp file needed.

during my beta testing period people kept asking for it to be on bottom screen ;( lol , have to figure a way to select that i guess.

tapping the touchscreen changes weapons to the next available one right now. but its kind of annoying if your using the touchscreen to move around.

The controls are kind of customizable if you edit the duke3d.cfg file, but you have to make sure that you replace the existing keys with other existing keys for the different functions.

read the readme.ds file included with the release.

dldi patch .nds and copy it and defs.con, game.con, user.con, duke3d.grp and supplied duke3d.cfg to a /duke3d directory of card.

if your question is about dldi patching the .nds file check this thread http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=54281

otherwise please post more details about what you don't understand or are having difficulting with.

Thanks,
Troy(GPF)

I was at a gamer friends house last night and I happened to show them the Duke Nukem port, he liked it so much that he's now buying a flashcard. GPF and me should be getting commision :P

Use Dlditool.exe with the r4tf.dldi to patch the NDS file to make it work with RF/M3 DS Simply carts.

Thanks for replying GPF.

But look at Metroid Prime Hunters, the controls are very good with the stylus. And I think that if the game is on the touch screen and you wants to look around with the stylus, your hand can obstruct the view of the game.

But anyway, good work.

Some one send me the grp file via email...Please!

Duke Nukem! That used to be my favorite game on PC!
Nice to have it back!

you need to put the .con and .GRP files in the root of the card, in folder labeled DUKE3D.

this is what I had to do on my R4DS card.

Can someone save everyone the hassle and upload a .grp file.

For some reason I am unable to install the game on my laptop, just saves it won't work regardless what I do. I think Vista has something that is preventing me from installing it.

So I think it would be much better if someone with a working version could upload all the files so it is just copy and paste, or at least the .GRP file.

Would be greatly appreciated I am sure. Cheers

the grp file is copyrighted material, anyone who did so would be breaking the law and the rules of the forum.

I finally got it working with my ds-x last night, still get the nasty errors, but i commented out the abort and exit code and then it works. I have got sfx working partially now and a few speed ups. Still get an occasion cache exception and random freezes. But hopefully will have a new release soon.

I'm using an R4 Revolution with a Kingston Micro SD 1 GB. I have DLDI patched the duke3dS.nds file with DLDIrc patcher and the r4tf.dldi patch.

I placed the duke3ds.nds file along with DEFS.con, duke3d.cfg, GAME.con, USER.con, and the official, full version DUKE3D.grp all in this directory:

E:\Games\duke3d

where E is the letter my reader assigns the MicroSD adapter.

If it makes any difference I'm using kernal 1.08 beta or whatever the latest is on the R4 site.

This is the error I'm getting:

Can't open directory: /duke3d
Unable to open /duke3d/DUKE3d.GR

Anyone have the same issue or perhaps a solution?

Thank you very much for any help!


Edit: Solution

Ok, I realized the error is stating it's looking in the root directory for /duke3d and that's not where I have it, so I placed the directory to the root (E:\duke3d\ instead of E:\Games\duke3d) and now it runs fine.

Awesome stuff GPF!! Thank you! I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting the next version!

If I can make my own suggestions, I think it duke3ds should definitely follow traditional FPS's on the ds if it's possible. Using the touch screen to look is a LOT better considering it's sensitive in that you can control how fast or slow you want to look around. Having the D pad makes it very GBA-ish. In saying that, the gameplay should definitely be on the top screen (isn't the top screens processor faster anyway?)

Another really fun thing to have would be an on screen keyboard just to have a little bit more flexibility than just the limitations of the DS's buttons. Weapon selects and inventory can be chosen with the top line of numbers and I think it's brackets for the items, we can also type in cheats etc. Also, with controlling with the touch screen, the d-pads directions can each be separate functions (open, jump, shoot, use item) and maybe the exact same functions on the other side of the ds (where up down left right and L = x, b, y, a and R respectively) for left handed stylus users.

Also, I'm not sure if there was anyway to toggle the options. I wasn't able to return to the main screen after doing so. The onscreen keyboard would also be extremely handy in this situation. I was going to try and disable sound (even though it's already absent) and lower the graphic quality etc to see if it would change performance.

Again, all this is in consideration of having gameplay on the top screen.

This is probably way too much, but again, it's just suggestions that given possible would make this homebrew from awesome to near perfect.

I think I speak for all of us that these would be really cool changes...and I hope I don't sound ungrateful or naive towards what it takes to put this together.

Otherwise.... it's excellent and thank you again GPF!!

mods, ban or warn this retard. the discussion of warez and the trade of copyrighted files is not allowed on this site, even if you use it as a method to trade via email. if you want to play duke nukem 3D on your DS, go to ebay and buy the damn game, or find a demo version. otherwise, log off and do not post anything about GRP files until you have one in your posession.

piracy gets not only you into trouble, but this site and wraggy as well.

this is nice, im getting it now. wow i love my new cart

Got it working (R4) But no sound and the controls arent how i would like to have them.

Is there any way to change the controls and any ideas on how to get sound?

Thanks. Yata.

All the answers are in the release notes Yata. No sound yet but a past post mentions he's working on sound and has made some progress. I think the controls are as is for now, but I'm not 100% sure.

This one disturbs my nice directory structure....! :(

Isn't it possible to configure it to be placed somewhere in a deep structure instead of the root position?

If it is not configurable yet, would you please consider it for future versions!?

:thumbup:

Yeah next version will have all the files in a /duke3d folder :)

keep up the good work. I'll wait for the sound version. Cant wait!
