NetHack is a single-player computer game released back in 1987. NetHack came from an earlier game called Hack, which itself was spawned by the 1980 game Rogue. In this game, the player searches for the Amulet of Yendor hidden in a random network of dungeons. To make things even interesting, dungeons contain monsters, weaponry, magical items, hidden doors and much more.

If NetHack sounds something you'd like to play on your DS, well, you can! NetHackDS was created by the talented members of DevTeam. This homebrew version of the classic game runs only on an SD device that can be written to by Sata's version of Chishm's FAT library. Copy everything inside the nethackDS directory in the zip file onto your CF card and run nethackDS.nds or nethackDS.ds.gba.

New features for the July 27 update includes:

The configuration-file option hilite_pet is now working.
Commands can now be assigned to the following buttons: A, B, X, Y, Select, Start, L+[button], R+[button], L+R+[button]. A command can be up to 15 key presses long (Ctrl-A, Alt-A, etc. count as one keypress). To assign a command to a button, press Alt-B at any time during the game.
The screen is now redrawn only when something changes instead of every frame.
The game should detect a DS Lite and switch the font on the top screen. If it does not work and the text is still blurry, tap the bottom-right corner of the screen anytime after you enter your name or create a file called "swapfont" in the NetHackDS directory of your CF or SD card. The font will automatically switch every time you start the game.

To install, unzip the file then compile for your computer - not the DS - and it should work on Win32 and Linux and possibly (but not certain) on the Mac OS. This is to get makedefs and friends to generate everything you need to compile it for the DS. Once this is done, from the nethack-3.4.3 directory, run 'make -f sys/nds/Makefile'. This should compile everything and copy the binaries to the binary directory. From there, copy everything to your CF card and run NetHackDS.nds or NetHackDS.ds.gba.
