NetHackDS 1.11 - Image 1Anybody up for a classic bit of dungeon-crawling on their DS? We're happy to report that DevTeam has recently released a new update for NetHackDS, pushing the game up to version 1.11.

This homebrew is a DS port of NetHack (1987), a rogue-like game that put players behind the controls of a dungeon-diving character in search of the Amulet of Yendor. Here are the latest changes:
  • Version 1.11:
    • Support commands with repeat counts (tap-and-hold command in the command window and a keyboard will pop up prompting for a count). This also works when binding keys.
    • Support binding R+[A,B,X,Y,Start,Select] (or L, if in left-handed mode).
    • Message history is now implemented (use the 'Prev Mesg' command).
    • Different names now create separate games, allowing multiple games on the same card (this is actually a bug fix).
  • Version 1.10:
    • Enhanced the minimap to show additional landmarks, etc.
    • Added word wrapping support to menus, text display, etc.
    • Added support for a scrolling command window if the commands don't fit on one page.
    • With the above, the game now supports larger font sizes.
    • Added a few additional commands to the command window.
    • Fixed the message display when paging so previous lines aren't redisplayed erroneously.
    • Again tried to fix the menu pagedown bugÂ… I think I might have it this time.
Be sure to view the guidebook included with this release if you're a first-time player.

Hi, this is the author, here. Just to clarify, I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the DevTeam, nor is my work at all affiliated with theirs (well, aside from the fact that the port wouldn't exist without their wonderful efforts).
