What's the difference between the two versions?

​

Recommended Version (FAT)
- Works with more cards
- Requires extra files in the SD card (And will crash without them)

Emulator Version (NitroFS+FAT)
- Works on emulators
- Will crash on some cards
- Does not require any extra files in SD card

Thank you!

Note that we've found a few small bugs in this release we are planning to fix them in the upcoming version 0.3.1:

• Placing a block plays the sound in the wrong location
• The world preview is different from the first world

Comment with any other bugs found .

Also, in creative mode you cannot destroy background blocks.
Good game tho
EDIT: Nvm, you can.

To destroy background blocks in creative you must hold the crouch key (down). This is to prevent background blocks from getting accidentally destroyed in creative.

Oh, okay. I feel stupid now.

We should have some sort of controls description or a tutorial. And it is rather confusing considering it's different in survival .

 

[Wolfgange]

I've made a new website . And it's material design just because xD.

Try downloading the emulator version. That one has the files embeded within the nds file.

Alright, and just checking, you should extract the zip directly onto the sd card and click yes to merge the folders (If it asks). And the Mine-DS-v0.3.0.nds file must remain in the root folder, as well.

 

[AshleyCummings]

No matter where the files are I get a error then when I tried your other one its white screen ... no matter where it goes ...I have a R4i SDHC card running on a ds lite

 

[ElyosOfTheAbyss]

It would be cool if someone was to port this to 3DS
