NetHack DS is port of the roguelike RPG, Nethack - Exploring The Mazes of Menace, to the DS.

DLDI patch .nds file if needed (if your card does not have auto-patching) and copy it along with the files to the root directory of the card.

User guide

Gameplay

NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine.

Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight, in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.

Each game presents a different landscape. The random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by you in one of a number of characters: you can pick race, role and gender.

Commands

These are controls that apply only to NetHackDS:

  • Press the arrow buttons to move up/down/left/right
  • Hold L or R and press two directions at once to move diagonally.
  • F5 - Switch between tiles and ASCII graphics.
  • F6 - Switch the subpixel font used on the top screen. This will fix the blurry text if you are using a DS Lite.
  • Alt+b - Assign commands to any of the buttons A/B/X/Y/Select/Start. L+[button], R+[button], and L+R+[button] can also have commands assigned.

For a full list of NetHack commands, type "?b" after starting the game.

Changelog

  • The keyboard graphics no longer glitch when assigning commands to buttons.
  • The game now reports error messages instead of just freezing when important files are missing.
  • The fonts are now compiled into the game instead of being loaded from an external file.
  • Added a space after Y/N and 'what direction' prompts to make it look better.
