Compatibility
Tested on:
iTouchDS (firmware 3.0)
Acekard 2i (firmware 4.17)
Known issues
As sprites are bigger in order to respect original comic/Tv animation, heads may be cut by the ceilings on OpenGL port:
- POSS character size requires a minimum value of 88 from floor to ceiling.
- SARG character size requires a minimum value of 104 from floor to ceiling.
It is advised not to play in Fast Monster mode as SARG caracter didn't have a speed matching with the original TV animation one.
