Homebrew Cave Story DS port (based on CSE2 Decompilation)

[RocketRobz]

I suppose this is much superior compared to running the Mega Drive port in any DS or 3DS Genesis emulator?

Yes, it is.

This does not work with mods, as far as I can tell.

its not a mod its a different version of the game
it was free on EGS a month or so back

you can use mods if you have the source code
but you also need the cse2 version of that mods source iirc

the port has been added to the ds section of https://www.cavestory.org/download/cave-story.php too

[RealYoti]

@zazamoki this emu doesn't support homebrew, isn't it?

I'm posting this here because I haven't seen it on the forum (I might have missed it too, it's possible) and the two universes seem related:

Use Mega Drive version on emulator instead.

Doesn't work with my EZ-Flash Vi card. Tried both versions and got an eternal white screen. Do I need to patch it first or did I miss anything else?

You might need to launch it with either nds-hb-menu or TWiLight Menu++.

Wait, Cave Story was decompiled to source code? Is that why I keep seeing it for free everywhere on every platform, eventhough the game costs money?

That is what the previous posts would suggest, yes.

The version from Nicalis that costs money uses a different codebase. The original version that has been decompiled was always free.

These homebrew menus don't work either - same issue. I think I'm encountering that white screen problem which is common for EZ-Flash Vi cards in conjunction with homebrew software.

The DSiWare version has slightly higher-pitched audio, as well as a music player menu (though idk if the port has it as well).
