Magnulus:

Glee! Finally the 0.5 mark! Will be testing at work during lunch.

TinMan:

Sweet gfx. Ascii-mode for retroers?

dzz:

There are three different "Tile Sets" included in the game: ClassicBW, ClassicWB, and ClassicColor, that display the game using just the Ascii characters.

TinMan:

Cute! Thanks dzz!

Magnulus:

Fantastic work on this so far. It's slow to save, but it seems this is on the GP2X as a whole, not just Nethack. Is the write-speed really that bad?

Megagun:

WHAT? This got a 5 out of 10? It's pretty awesome, really, although it cradhed a few times on me. :( Still, GREAT menu system. Very intuitive and awesome.

dzz:

Thaks for the comments! As for the ratings, it looks like somebody used a couple of accounts and gave several zero ratings to all the software that was high-rated at the time. No biggie!

Megagun:

Evil. Better take down a few Cockatrices and assault those evilpeople with them then, eh? It's kind of evil, since after I voted it got a 6 or a 7, and now it's back to a 5, although this port clearly deserves more than just a 5..

optimus:

Finally! A nethack version with appealing graphics and very easy menu for the so many commands. I will play this one!!!

scachi:

I can't find a download for the sourcecode of this port. I'd like to see how the keyboard mode is coded.

dzz:

I am not sure why typing "nethack" in the search box doesn't show the source, but it's in the source code section of this archive.

hatebreeder:

nethack is satan

Oncer:

Sorry guys, but this version is unplayable for me... It crashes almost every time I go up or down in the dungeon. It then just hangs up and when I restart my GP2X, the save file is corrupted and fails to load.

dzz:

Oncer, I responded to the email you sent. If my suggestion doesn't work I'd like to work with you to determine the cause. I do not have other reports of crashing nearly that often (an occasional rare instance). If somebody else has the game crash a lot could you please send an email to dzz@gp2xgamer.com with whatever information you have? Thanks!

oncer:

Ok, fine... I was using the version from my GP2X CD-Rom (coming with my GP2X) and there obviously was something broken. Now that I've downloaded the same file from here, it seems to work. I'm going to do a bit more stress-testing, and drop you a mail if anything happens ;)

dandruff:

Took me a while to realise what a good game this is! Extreemly good port, I love it! Thanks!

Beautiful, thank you. I have this on my Sharp zaurus too but this version so far I've found to have an improved interface.

Cheers,
Thunor

dragonwit:

Great port.. but has one problem: when your character is invisible, you can't tell where he is. Moving is difficult..

qwerty15:

Here is another small problem, with the F200, there is no stick click! You can't pick up (easily)!

Dusk:

I must just say "darn you!" because this is the greatest version of Nethack I have ever played. I really like what you've done with the user interface. Now I will never be able to stand to play a different version Nethack again! As I own an F200 however, I too have the problem with the lack of a stick... but being that its at the top of the select menu, I think it to be negligible... though the game might benefit from touch screen compatibility.

virtualmatter:

Love it!, I hope there will be a Wiz version soon =)
