This version finally contains the new native Supaplex game engine to
play all original Supaplex levels exactly as they played in the classic game.
This new game engine is fully compatible with the original game,
including all recorded demos as well as all tricks and bugs of the original
game engine. It is based on the engine code of the game Megaplex,
which itself is an exact clone of Supaplex, but the game engine in R’n’D is
a bit more compatible than Megaplex regarding special levels that use dirty
memory tricks that only worked in the original DOS version of Supaplex so far.
Most important changes since last release version 3.2.6.1:
- added native Supaplex game engine
- added support for native Supaplex levels in MPX level file format
- added support for native Sokoban levels in XSB level file format
- added saving read-only levels from editor into personal level set
- added configurable key shortcuts for the tape recorder buttons
- fixed potential crash bug in quickload and quicksave functionality
- fixed some bugs with single step mode (and added it to native engines)
For details, see the ChangeLog
file (also included in the package).

After the update of Rocks’n’Diamonds to version 3.2.6.1, “R’n’D jue”
is now also updated to the same latest version of the game engine! More
information and download links can be found here:
As the previous version (R’n’D jue 3.2.6.0) had the same crash bug as R’n’D 3.2.6.0, while the last stable version (R’n’D jue 3.2.5) had some major limitations and bugs, it is highly recommended to upgrade to the latest version to play this special version of R’n’D!

For all fans of the Emerald Mine Club level collection, there is an update
available that adds the following 13 new EMC disks (and updates many of the
existing disks):
- Bond Mine 17.5 - Xmas Mine 2
- Crystal Caverns 4 (No. 21)
- Den Mine 13
- Down Under Mine 20
- Einstein Mine 23
- Emerald Dash 6
- Into Aladdin’s Caves 3
- Into The Dusty Mines 2
- Ruppelmine 7
- Snel Mine 1 (Almathera)
- Super Freak Mine Prof
- Tough and Deadly Mine
- Tutorial 1 NL
All in all, the collection now contains 50962 levels in 576 sets (with 43511
unique levels). With this update, the EMC collection seems to be complete now,
containing all EMC disks that were ever made publicly available.
As an addition to the already existing graphical title screens of many EMC
disks, text messages were added to many sets that were contained on the
original EMC disks (displayed as title messages just as it looked like when
booting those disks on the Amiga), which contain hints, credits or correction
notes.
For best results, use the latest R’n’D version 3.2.6.1 for playing the EMC
level collection!
The updated level collection package is available
here
or at the
“Levels & Artwork” section!

This new version of R’n’D fixes the crash bug mentioned in the previous entry.
In fact, there was no need to change R’n’D itself at all, but to use a patched
version of the SDL library, which contains a crash bug in the current official
version as of today (which is already fixed in the code repository, but hasn’t
found its way into the current official version yet).
In addition to replacing the SDL library with a patched version in the R’n’D
package for Windows, there was also an additional fix to extend
backwards compatibility with existing levels, especially Zelda and Zelda II.
For details, see the ChangeLog
file (also included in the package).

Many people encountered a critical bug that apparently has crept into
the current version 3.2.6.0 and that crashes the game.
Unfortunately, there’s no time to find and fix that bug and release a new
version at the moment.
Therefore, to play without problems, please switch back to the last stable
version 3.2.4 for now. A fixed version 3.2.6.1 will be provided as
soon as possible.
For “R’n’D jue”, please switch back to the last stable version
3.2.5.
Please see the Download section for
updated (downgraded) links!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
