In order to work doukutsu-rs needs to be paired with supported data files. This repository does not contain any datafiles.
doukutsu-rs works fine with freeware data files orNXEngine(-evo) or from asupported copy ofCave Story+.
How to set up data files on Android
If your phone has an app called"Files":
- Launch this app.
- Press☰ on the top left corner.
- Tap on"doukutsu-rs game data".

Freeware
doukutsu-rs works out of the box when it's placed in the same directory as the original Doukutsu.exe executable. On the initialstartup, doukutsu-rs will automatically extract the additional resources that are embedded in the vanilla game into thedata
directory. Until that is done, both doukutsu-rs and the vanilla executable have to exist in the directory.
Cave Story+
doukutsu-rs can be used as drop-in replacement forCaveStory+.exe
. No modifications to game files are needed.
Original version (first released in 2011 on Steam) - expand for instructions
Steam release (Win/Mac/Linux)
Thedata
folder is in the same place across all platforms.
If you want to use doukutsu-rs as a substitute for Mac version of Cave Story+ (which at moment of writing doesn't workon 10.15+ anymore), do the following:
- Find the doukutsu-rs executable:
- In AppVeyor builds, it's in
doukutsu-rs.app/Contents/MacOS/doukutsu-rs
- In your own builds, it's in
target/(release|debug)/doukutsu-rs
- In AppVeyor builds, it's in
- Open Steam Library, select
Cave Story+
, press theManage
button (gear icon) and selectProperties...
- Select
Local Files
and pressBrowse...
. - Open the
Cave Story+.app
bundle and navigate toContents/MacOS
directory. - Rename the
Cave Story+
executable to something else or delete it. - Copy the doukutsu-rs executable and rename it to
Cave Story+
. - Launch the game from Steam and enjoy!
Warning
EPIC GAMES STORE VERSION WARNING
Nicalis for some reason ships a strayopengl32.dll
DLL from Windows 7 with the Epic Games Store copies of Cave Story+.
However as the game is 32-bit and the dll is 64-bit it has no effect on the original version, but as it's a core Windows DLL and doukutsu-rs ships 64-bit builds and uses OpenGL, it's makes the game crash on startup.
The fix is to simply deleteopengl32.dll
, as it's not used anyway.
Humble Bundle
The archive from Humble Bundle contains the necessarydata
folder, in the same folder asCaveStory+.exe
.
WiiWare
Remastered version (first released in 2017 on Switch)
Note
This version isincompatible with saves from the original version.
Interchanging the save files may result in spawning in wrong locations, softlocks, graphical glitches, or other issues.
Nintendo Switch
Extract thedata
folder (contained inromfs
) from your console using tool such asnxdumptool.
Important notes:
- doukutsu-rs doesn't rely on the original ROM or executable, you just need the data files, go to
RomFS options
menu to just extract the files to SD card so you don't need to do any extra steps. - Ensure you're dumping the fileswith update included (
Use update/DLC
option), as 1.0 isn't supported.
Nintendo Switch homebrew port specific info
If you're running the homebrew port (drshorizon.nro) on your Switch, you can avoid the dumping step, doukutsu-rs willautomatically detect and mount the data files if you run it over Cave Story+ in Title Override mode (holdR
while starting CS+ and launch d-rs from hbmenu).
You can put your own data files in/switch/doukutsu-rs/data
directory on SD Card, which will be overlayed over RomFS ifyou run it in setup described above.
Same controls as the default for freeware and Cave Story+ keyboard.
To change, use the control customization menu or editdoukutsu-rs\data\settings.json
within your user directory.
