=== What's New===
This port is based on D2X-Rebirth and it was possible thanks to the SDLx libs by Lantus, Bradley Bell and the D2X team, zico and MD 2211.


- Compiled with the assembler code instead of the C one. Now is 15 fps faster.
==Installation==
- Added support for CD audio tracks (read below)
'''Note:''' This a Descent 2 port that allows to play the original Descent, so if you want to play Descent levels, you will still need the Descent 2 files.
- Primary and secondary weapon autoselect ordering option can be changed with
  the black/white buttons.


This is an update so you need the v1.0 version. Overwrite the default.xbe.
