Installation

Note: To run DScent you need the original registered Descent.

Unzip the downloaded dscent binaries on your computer and DIDL patch it.

Copy the files in to the dscent folder on the flash card.

Copy the .HOG and .PIG files from your registered, version 1.4a or higher copy of Descent into the dscent folder on the flash card. (Ultimate Descent package: Descent I and Descent II patched for Windows worked just fine.)

FAQ

Why am I getting "fatInitDefault () failed"?

You need to patch that .nds file with DLDI. Follow the DLDI patching instructions.

It says Error: Cannot open file DESCENT.TEX or DESCENT.TXB?

You need to put the .HOG and .PIG files from the registered, patched to at least 1.4a version of Descent. They need to be in the root folder of your flash card or in a folder called dscent in the root directory.

It says Error: Not enough strings in text file - expecting 621, found 514.

You most likely do not have the proper version of the data files You need atleast v1.4a that is registered. You may get this message by using the demo version of the .PIG and .HOG files. Get the registered full version.
