D1X-Rebirth is an adaptation of the engine of the DOS game Descent made by Zico for Linux. It runs very nice at 250mhz with sound.
Descent is a 3D first-person shooter video game noted for popularizing the use of true 3D rendering technology and providing the player with six full degrees of freedom (often abbreviated "6DOF") to move and to look around.
Installation
- Copy all the files from the archive to a directory of your SD card
- Copy the files "descent.hog" and "descent.pig" from your Descent CD to this directory as well

- The files need to be v1.4. If you own v1.0, download a patch for Windows or Linux at the DXX-Rebirth homepage

- The game runs smoother in Cockpit-mode but you have also the choice to select a higher cpu speed from the main menu. Be aware that this value will not be saved.
- If you save a game please quit the game normally or your save state may be corrupted.
- Please report any bugs to zico AT unixboard.de or the DXX-Forum found at http://www.dxx-rebirth.de.
