MineSweeperDS is a DS version of the puzzle game Minesweeper on Windows. The layout looks similar to the Windows version, but the background color is customizable. As a default, it will be the user's preferred color, set on the DS main screen.

It was one of the contest entries tor the NEO Summer Coding Compo 2006 (GBA/NDS Games) and Datel's Design a Game Competition.

Features

• Customize background colour.
• Customize sound ans sfx for winning/losing.

Installation

Unpack the folder that is on the msds.rar file on the root of your SD/CF/mini SD.

Put the rom version that works on your flashcard anywhere on the SD/CF.At the moment, this only works with cards that work with FATlib.

To change background music and sfx, put the sound you want on the msds folder after extract.

• loose.raw - The sfx played when lose. If you're going to put your own sfx, make sure it's not too long.
• win.raw - The sfx played when win.
• music.raw - Background music. Differently from loose.raw and win.raw, this file can be as large as you want. Just remember: 11025, stereo, 8 bits signed.

The sound files must be on raw format, with a frequence of 11025, stereo and 8 bits signed, otherwise they won't play properly.

Known issues

Before saying there's a bug on the highscore system, please remember that on Minesweeper, the lowest your grade, the better, so yes, the initial All The_Legend - 999 highscore system is correct.
