MegaZeux is a game creation system (GCS) created by game developer Alexis Janson in 1994. Originally a DOS program, in 2005 a multi-platform port was released by Exophase. The most recent version of MegaZeux is 2.92f, which was released on November 22nd, 2020.

MegaZeux is officially supported on Windows, Linux/BSD, MacOS, as well as the NDS, 3DS, Wii, and PSP consoles. Historical support has also existed for GP2X, Pandora, and AmigaOS 4.

Installation

Copy the megazeux folder to the 3ds folder of your SD card. You can place the game (.mzx) anywhere on the SD card.

Then take a look at the config file and edit it according to your preference.

User guide

Config file

One of the first things you should do is edit the options in the config file; even experienced MZXers may find some of the customization options novel and useful. Open config.txt in any text editor, there is ample commentary to let you know how to change the options. Make sure to remove the # sign from any option you want set.

Editing the options can result in better sound, better/more customizable graphics, more fitting defaults, a more personalized Robotic editor, joystick support, extended macros, automated backup and much more. New versions - even minor version changes - can add new options to the config file or rename old ones, so it is helpful to keep this file current.
