Beat Rush (BTR) is a simple rhythm game made for the Nintendo 3DS console, based on the Japanese rhythm game Muse Dash. It is a university project written for educational purposes by two people using devkitPro.
Installation
To load this file in an actual 3DS, you will need homebrew capabilities:
- 3DSX/SMDH (recommended) - Use the .3dsx provided with the homebrew launcher.
- CIA - Install it using a title manager such as FBI.
In order to launch the game in your PC you will need an emulator such as citra. Citra supports all formats generated.
Build instructions can be found in the repository page.
User guide
How to play
Hit the enemies as they approach the indicators. You have one action for each lane (top/bottom).
- When a note collides with the line on the left of the screen, press the corresponding button for its lane.
- Accuracy is related to the moment the note crosses the center of the line compared to the moment you press the button.
- The combo indicator increments with successive successful presses and restarts when one press is too inaccurate.
- Score depends on your accuracy and increments with a higher combo.
- The pace, length and difficulty of a level depend on the selected song.
Troubleshooting
If there is no sound:
- Open Citra, click File > Open Citra folder...
- Go to folder
sdmc, and then3ds. If they don't exist, create them. - Create an empty file called
dspfirm.cdc. - If the empty file
sdmc/3ds/dspfirm.cdcis found by Citra, audio will work.
Be careful if you have extensions hidden, to not call the file something like dspfirm.cdc.txt. This wouldn't work.
