A Nintendo Switch port of Descent I. I hope to add support for Descent II in the future. This is a fork of DXX-Retro, which is a fork of DXX-Rebirth, which is a fork of the original engine source code created by Parallax Software Corporation.
- Create a folder on your sdcard, such as
/switch/d1x-switch/. - Copy
d1x-switch.nroanddescent.cfgto this directory. Download the latest release here. - Copy
descent.hoganddescent.pigto the same directory. These files are included with a purchase of the game. Tested with Descent from Steam.
- Multiple save files don't work (currently hardcoded to
player.plr) - Doesn't support the joysticks
- No music
- Only tested with the Descent files from Steam; GOG and CD-ROM releases have not been tested
- Doesn't utilize 1080p resolution when docked
- Need an icon
- Resize the text for larger resolutions
- Enable the original HUD
- Network/Multiplayer is not enabled
- Level Selection menu doesn't work (no way to input a different level)
