Hydra Castle Labyrinth Homebrew port [WIP]

[FlorreW]

Thank you very much !

I finally was able to play it today and the port looks to be working perfect, i have not made it too far (it is not easy game) but everything is looking good: sounds, controls, saving to vmu (even vmu save file has its own icon!), no problems at all. Thanks guys!

Just downloaded the port yesterday. The music and saving works. I made it to the Dodo's Den and noticed some white-out squares on one of the screens that I assuming are glitched since they do not match up with the rest of the screen. Does anyone know the controls for the Dreamcast's version? I cannot use sub-weapons such as the axe and cannot fully access the menu.

Edit: I decided to quit playing the Dreamcast version after defeating the Dodo when I realized that you cannot use sub-weapons in it after obtaining the silver bolt. Also the game would occasionally spawn glitched screens and crash. I hope work on the port continues, until then I will enjoy this little gem on the pc.

I haven't downloaded this version, but I played it on my modded OG Xbox like a year or 2 ago when my DC's were both out of commission. This is a great game for damn sure. Wish we had more homebrew like this. I for one love 2D platformers on the DC despite the system being way more powerful. Volgar the Viking and Cave Story are my top 2 favorites as far as free homebrew is concerned. Indies are different and I am not counting those.

Yeah very agree with you.

Hope gameblabla can fix it for a perfect release because can't finish it at now...

[fafadou]

Hydra castle is patched, the throwing weapons are available and we can finish the game.

replace opus to wav

any ideas?

[Anthony817]

Are you taking over this port? Wow awesome!

Spasibo!

As for ideas, I have none. Is there already a scanline option? If so, I have no other ideas sadly.
