To get this game running properly, you have to install the update patch to make your version of Descent 14A.

After that, I encountered fatal exception errors and errors loading midi.nfs (or whatever that file is called). To fix this problem, here is what I tried adjusting the detail levels to a lower setting until it worked properly, and then I played around with everything in the custom graphics settings until I found the maximum graphics/sound setting where the game is still playable. (In my case it was turning the object complexity and wall detail down one notch from maximum settings, and the sound channels down two notches)


Seriously, I would recommend playing around with the detail settings in order to get the game to work, because this game is a lot of fun on the Nintendo DS (once the controls are set to your liking).

To fix this problem, here is what I did:
In the Options menu (which can be accessed from the main menu), select Detail Levels, and then select the highest setting.
Then, select detail levels again and select the Custom option.
Turn the object complexity and wall detail down one notch, and the sound channels down two notches.
After that, the game should work without crashing. Well, at least it works for me now.

Mmn, I've tried this. I've gone through all of the various settings for Descent and still get data corruption, leading to crashes. This is with the patched files. Anyone know if there's been any updates to the software yet?

Rather than edit my previous post here, I wanted to update with a bit of news: I didn't realize until now, that Kayvenm had posted the original source for this project in April '07 on his blog. While Id've preferred to get the latest source files, I'm going to make due with this and see if I can work out the kinks in the program. Don't expect anything soon, but hopefully we can get this project kick-started again!

I have no problems running this on my Max Media Dock. And I have a music turned on, and the highest detail settings.

But I'm disapointed that this wonderful project has come to a halt...

Weird... It worked like a charm on my M3 simply, but while it starts on my M3real, it freezes when loading a savegame or starting the game from the beginning.

Does anyone have tested it on a M3 Real ? Any advice ?

[edit]Ok, I managed to make it work : it seems the player profile is incompatible from one linker to another. I don't know how or why, though. But DScent finally ran after I created a new profile.

@Akoi Meexx : good to know !
