  • Full MP3 music & 3D sounds
  • Special bonuses and scenery effects (let’s try this mushroom…)
  • Integrated (on DS) full featured 3D level editor
  • High score & progression saving
  • 25 levels, with various environment and progressive difficulty
  • Full motion sensor support

Installation

  1. Copy the "marble" folder found in the archive in the root of your flashcard.
  2. Copy the file "marble.nds" (or "marble.ds.gba" if your flashcard doesn't work with .nds files) on your flashcard.
  3. Apply DLDI patch corresponding to your flashcard on the "marble.nds" file if "error initializing file system" message is on loading screen.

Controls

Motion sensor - just tilt the DS, and the board will tilt the same way.

Stylus - Hold stylus down on the center on the screen, then slightly move in the desired direction to tilt the board. When the pressure is released, the board will come back to a flat position.

Select - screenshot in .bmp format (game will freeze for a short time during the file write). The screenshots will be located at the root of your flashcard.

LEVEL EDITOR

There is 10 slots available to save your custom levels. You can get the saved levels files on the "/marble/editor/" folder of your flashcard.
