==Known issues and missing features==
 
* Unable to get a working .cia version (I think his is due to the large amount of stack space used by DXX Rebirth (around 4-8MB), default 3DS stack space is 32KB. Setting __stacksize__ to 8MB works fine with loading the 3dsx version through the homebrew browser, but .cia builds automatically crash) This might also be due to me not having a correct [https://github.com/RossMeikleham/DXX-3DS/blob/master/d1/3ds_data/d1x-3ds.rsf rsf file]. The repository currently has a build script which creates the .cia builds with banners, icons, and jingles working but crashes on running.
* Multiple save files don't work (currently hardcoded to player.plr)
* Only tested with the Descent files from Steam; GOG and CD-ROM releases have not been tested
* Enable the original HUD
* Network/Multiplayer is not enabled
* Level Selection menu doesn't work (no way to input a different level)
 
'''D1X'''
 
* End of level &quot;sequence&quot; is skipped, was causing a segfault/crash
 
'''D2X'''


* Movies disabled, these were also causing crashes
