OmniSpeak-3DS is a port of the [https://davidgow.net/keen/omnispeak.html OmniSpeak Engine] to the 3DS.

It is an open source reimplementation of Commander Keen episodes 4, 5, 6, and 7 based on several reverse-engineering efforts.

==Installation==
OmniSpeak-3DS is available in CIA and 3DSX formats:
*CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
*3DSX - Put the .3dsx to the 3ds directory, then run with the Homebrew Launcher.

The data files from a supported version are required to play:
*Keen 4 v1.4 EGA Built in as of version 1.0.2
*Keen 5 v1.4 EGA
*Keen 6 v1.4 EGA

These should be the easiest versions to get, for instance, the [http://store.steampowered.com/app/9180/ Steam version] and the [https://www.gog.com/game/commander_keen_complete_pack GOG.com version] are both version 1.4, as are all the previous downloadable versions from both id Software and 3D Realms/Apogee. Keen 6 is not easily available, but you should be able to find patches which convert one version of the game to another. Keen 6 v1.5 fixes a few bugs, so it's probably best to use it if you can.

Note that the game will likely crash if you use any other version, including the CGA versions and the v1.0 releases, as well as the retail FormGen/GT Interative versions and the Keen 6 version bundled with the id Anthology.

You'll need to take the following files from your version of Keen, and place them in the /3ds/omnispeak/ directory:
* GAMEMAPS.CK?
* EGAGRAPH.CK?
* AUDIO.CK?

You'll also need the files from the data directory corresponding to your version of Keen.

==User guide==
=== Configuration ===
Omnispeak can read settings from the OMNISPK.CFG file in the "user path". This is a simple key/value file which looks something like this:

# Graphics settings
fullscreen = true

# The OPL emulator used by the SDL audio backend
# Valid values: "dbopl" (DOSBox), "nukedopl3" (NukedOPL3)
oplEmulator = "dbopl"

Modifying settings from the ComputerWrist interface will update this config file with the new settings.

Note that this file is not episode-specific. The settings are shared between all episodes.

=== New features ===
Omnispeak includes a new QuickLoad/QuickSave feature. It allows the game in the final save slot to be saved and loaded without needing to navigate the menu.

==Controls==
'''Menu:'''

X - Go back, Exit the game

A - Select options

'''In game:'''

D-Pad/Circle Pad - Movement

Y - Status

A - Jump

X - Use pogo stick

B - Shoot

L/R - QuickLoad/QuickSave

Start - Main menu

RaptorDS is a port of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raptor:_Call_of_the_Shadows Raptor: Call of the Shadows] developed by Cygnus Studios and published by Apogee Software in 1994.

Based on the reverse-engineered codebase from Raptor Call Of The Shadows by nukeykt, skynettx, and wel97459.

For the full version, copy the following files to the /nds/Raptor directory:
* FILE0002.GLB
* FILE0003.GLB
* FILE0004.GLB

==User guide==
"Your engine's turbines roar as you scream out of the sky. Startled troops look up just in time to see your wing cannons blaze. You feel the plane buck slightly as your missiles streak towards their targets. A flash in the distance tells you that they have done their job and so have you.

The Mega-Corps pay well, for those good enough to survive. They call you into the shadows with dreams of wealth, and you answer, the only way you know how."

Raptor: Call of the Shadows is a 2D vertical scrolling shoot 'em up single player game, set in a futuristic world, where you assume the role of a mercenary flying the high-tech Raptor. Your main task will be undertaking interplanetary missions to take down MegaCorp's top competitors.
