    title. ​

    The Griffon Legend is an action RPG with screen-to-screen map. It features original storyline and design made in 16-bit style RPG's of SNES/GENESIS era.

    Originally The Griffon Legend was written in FreeBASIC using SDL for graphics and FMOD for sound/music. That restricted the game to be released for Windows only. The Griffon Legend was rewritten in plain C using SDL and SDL_mixer to be ported to GCW-Zero, the source code is licensed under GPL2 license.

    The port to 3DS is based on the GCW-Zero code.

    --------​

    The source code of my port is on my github (https://github.com/nop90/Griffon-Legend-3DS).
    The compiled game (3dsx format) is released on github (https://github.com/nop90/Griffon-Legend-3DS/releases).

    Credits:
    The original game is by Syn9 (written in FreeBASIC), it was ported to c for GCW-Zero handheld by Dmitry Smagin.
    This game uses a fake 3DS SDL layer made me (NOP90) and some open source libs: ctrulib, citro3d, sf2d, sfil, libnsbmp, stb_vorbis

    Yes, I usually compile a CIA format when the game is stable.

    But if you want, make a rsf file, a banner and a icon, run make cia with the makefile on github, and you'll have it.

    Don't know, I only follow some threads, but noticed that if I receive a new post notification and I don't follow it, the notification is suspended for new posts since I read again the thread.

    I found a bug that crashes the system: when a widard cast a lightning magic there is an out of memory write error.

    I already fixed the problem, but let me know if there is something else to fix before I release a new version.

    Just released a new version wirh music enabled.

    I also fixed all the bugs I found, now loading/saing options works fine and The game seems to not crash anymore.

    yet not a finel release, there are some minor things I want to fix and the game needs more testing.

    Warning: this version of the game doesn't work with Citra. I'ts a Citra problem. With ne next release I'll add a versione of the game without music that can run on CItra.

    This morning I heavily tested the game.

    I's playable but not perfect:
    • it sometimes crashes loading a game, probably a problem of memory leak. As a temporary wokaround, restarting the 3ds cleans the memory and makes it work again.
    • at some points in the game the player doesn't take damage.
    I'll fix this two things next week, now I have to prepare the alpha release of Zelda Picross.

    Hi nop90,
    I tried your game on my 2DS (luma3ds with last firmware).
    Select new game but the screen freez at the end of the introduction screen (but music continue play on)
