Raptor Call of the Shadows 3DS (Raptor3DS) is a reversed-engineered source port of the DOS game Raptor: Call Of The Shadows (also known as Mercenary 2029).
Based on the reverse-engineered codebase from Raptor Call Of The Shadows by nukeykt, skynettx, and wel97459.
Features
- Tango Sector and Outer Region Sector are fully playable (compatible with the DOS version v1.2 fullversion).
- New model 3DS systems have music, while old models only have sound effects.
Installation
Available in 3DSX and CIA formats:
- CIA - Install the .cia with the CIA manager of your choice.
- 3DSX - Copy the .3dsx to the 3ds directory on your SD Card.
The first episode of the game is included. You can use the original assets (GLB files) from Raptor Call Of The Shadows v1.2 fullversion (only the DOS version v1.2 is compatible), simply copy the following files to the 3ds/Raptor directory:
- FILE0002.GLB
- FILE0003.GLB
- FILE0004.GLB
A DSP-dump is required for sound to work correctly.
