Installation
Extract the contents of the folder to your FAT-compatible flash card.
Patch the binary with the proper DLDI patch if needed (this shouldn't be necessary for most cards, only patch if it doesn't work).
Blubb uses data/blubb/ for the data by default, this can be changed in the blubb.cfg if you want to.
User guide
Gameplay tutorial is included in the game.
Online Mode
Direct Connect:
- Use this only for LAN-play, or if the blubb-lobby is unreachable.
- The server has to forward ports 9999 and 10000 to his NDS (not necesarry for LAN-play).
- The client needs the Servers IP.
- Games played in direct-connect mode won't be saved on the lobby.
Lobby Mode:
- Connect to the Blubb server, chat and play with NDS-homebrewers around the world.
- The games played on the lobby will be saved.
- You need at least three games plus one game per week registered on the Lobby (registering is done automatically at first connect).
- Forwarding ports 9999 and 10000 isn't necessary for the Lobby-mode
- However if you do the communication might be more stable.

Changelog
2007/03/25
- Draw-Routine is called in V-Blank now – that should make the drawing fluid regardless of the 3D’s framerate.
- Included output of SGIP_errno when sending / receiving fails. that might help me bugfixing the communication.
- Included animated ships (nothing to write home about – the 3d-Designer (me) sucks…)
- Fixed the slow-down when many “move-markers” where shown (e.g. moving the green ship) – the game should run constantly at 60 FPS now.
