‘Fairly Stable’ Chaos DS Updated to ‘More Stable’ Chaos DS

Adam, who developed a fairly stable version of Chaos DS, a homebrew version of Julian Gollop’s Quirky’s Chaos Advance, has released its update. For the purpose of keeping track, we’ll call it Chaos DS r06.25 (for June 25, the date of its release, okay?)

The changelog for Chaos DS r06.25 includes:

Implemented spell casting/fire/weapon drawing
Use touch screen to:

move cursor in examine board
move cursor / select creatures in game
highlight/select spells
select options in the game menu
OK messages
Enter your name on player screen

Fixed some more text colours
Fixed Magic Knife graphic
Options screen shouldn’t crash DS anymore
Fixed entering text for wizard’s name
Fixed missing sounds
You can now change the wizard colour in the player screen
Current wizard selection wasn’t shown on player screen

Still to be integrated in future versions:

Sleep mode option
Some text still not drawn in the correct colour – text drawn in white by default
Wizard death routine
End game/game drawn messages

Adam says the touch screen is still a bit “flakey” but runs fine on the emulator. Expect it to behave differently on the DS. To highlight a spell/move the cursor, just tap the stylus. To select a spell or select the content of the cursor, hold the stylus down.
