Way before Lara Croft, back in the 1980's and early 1990's, Rick Dangerous was the Indiana Jones of computer games, running away from rolling rocks, avoiding traps, from South America to a futuristic missile base via Egypt and the Schwarzendumpf castle.

Xrick is a clone of Rick Dangerous, known to run on Linux,Windows, BeOs, Amiga, QNX, all sorts of gaming consoles..

Awesome, I've beaten the C64 version, but that version has shorter levels than the others (as far as I know), might be time again anyway, was quite some time ago.

All sdl game port needs to utilize a large app installed ?

SDL lib increases the size of the executable, but the final size depends on several factors.

Xric stripped elf is only 600KB (Meritous is 1,1MB) so it should't need a bigger title than the default one used by the HBLauncher.

On my 3ds it starts without problems, but if you have problem let me know and I'll add the xml fiel (it's always the same file with changed name).

Thank you very much.
I tried it on my N3DSXL with latest firmware (cia version) and it´s quite slow...
Anything I could do to speed it up?
