SMBZ-DS is a DS recreation of a one-on-one fighting game made by Zethros, named SMBZ-G, both of which are fangames of the Super Mario Bros. Z animated Flash series from Newgrounds by Alvin-Earthworm.
This remake also has some unique features such as MP3 playback, initially written using the author's own fork of MicroLua DS and now in C++.
Installation
Latest release contains FAT and NitroFS version.
- FAT - You must copy the data folder and NDS rom to the root of your SD card. You can add custom content and seems to load faster than NitroFS.
