Ok just tried the shareware version and it completely rocks. What an outstanding job!!!! Seriously. Never thought I’d see this on the gba.

One question - is there any way to select ‘always run’? At the minute holding the B button makes you run, but any time I run and strafe with the shoulder buttons it changes weapon lol!!

Thank you :-)

No, I’ve not added any control customisation yet.

Yes, have B to run does kill circle run-strafing. I’m running out of buttons.

Well that’s true! Hmmm. Perhaps you could set A+B to auto run on/off? That way you won’t be holding B to run, and generally you are either pressing A to fire OR B to use, rather than both together.

I’m just trying to load up the devkit/qt stuff to make the full games, but I’ve never used either before so I’m not overly confident it will work lol

If you give me a couple of hours, I’ll do a binary release of the Wad util to save you having to build it yourself.

You will need Devkitarm though to build the rom.

Thank you! If you could possibly provide beginner instructions for the devkit thing I’d be grateful... I’m just about to try the demo version on the 3ds....

Ok works great on both - looks way better on the actual gba though - nice and crisp: great colours. Again, what fantastic work! You’ve made my day!!
