Griffon Legend 3DS

The Griffon Legend is an action RPG with screen-to-screen map. It features original storyline and design made in 16-bit style RPG's of SNES/GENESIS era.

Originally The Griffon Legend was written in FreeBASIC using SDL for graphics and FMOD for sound/music. That restricted the game to be released for Windows only. The Griffon Legend was rewritten in plain C using SDL and SDL_mixer to be ported to GCW-Zero, the source code is licensed under GPL2 license.

The port to 3DS is based on the GCW-Zero code.

--------

The source code of my port is on my github - https://github.com/nop90/Griffon-Legend-3DS.
The compiled game (3dsx format) is released on github - https://github.com/nop90/Griffon-Legend-3DS/releases.

Credits:
The original game is by Syn9 (written in FreeBASIC), it was ported to c for GCW-Zero handheld by Dmitry Smagin.
This game uses a fake 3DS SDL layer made me (NOP90) and some open source libs: ctrulib, citro3d, sf2d, sfil, libnsbmp, stb_vorbis
