Hi guys, Not trying to start a GPL fight - I was just wondering if anyone knows the status of the 2.0 source? The SVN server hasn't been updated. Allan.

I feel you're being a little naive, there have been many excellent homebrew adventure games about the place. Sure, they're a lot of work, but well worth the effort. I'm not talking about playing existing games, I'm talking about making new ones - what you're saying is sort of like telling...

I've got to say, is anyone completely against the idea of a good old traditional adventure game? They are a dying breed, it would be nice to see a quality adventure game on an obscure platform like the gp2x. And the groundwork for an adventure game would (hopefully) be able to allow others to...

Wet Hot American Summer. Allan. :)

Now I'm beginning to lose your temper. Why is it that no-one seems to be able to listen to a thing anyone is saying (aside from DaveC, you git)? Found this in the 'Other Consoles' thread, in reply to another DaveC freakout (something about "Does this mean you're stopping amiga development?")...

Oh, for fuck's sake Dave, will you cut with the reactionary crap? You also said the same thing about Squidge... Critical was on earlier TODAY.. Allan. EDIT: Apologies to all, I just get a little frustrated with DaveC freaking out over nothing all the time. Sorry for hijacking the thread...

Why would you want to do that? :) You can get one of those by praying - I save my wishes for things like blessed fixed +2 silver dragon scale mail... one of those babies nearly got me ascended once. Or you could wish for a wand of wishing, if you had a blessed scroll of charging. You know, dzz...

Hey cats, if you're interested, I've resized some tilesets that dzz is potentially going to be using in the next release(s) of Nethack - I've done three so far, and they can be found here. There is also potential for higher res tilesets than these too, but dzz is still checking out our options...

Hey Wiz, You probably want a tileset like this, I suspect. :) Apologies to all of you who don't want a giant PNG download, but I think this is awesome. :) Allan.

Yeah, I've tried it several times now - gnomish mines crash it indefinitely. Wizardofyendor, you could indeed make a set of ascii tiles - but there's no easy way out (ie, you can't get it to revert to 'vanilla nethack', as far as I'm aware the version this is based on doesn't support ascii at...

And why does EVERYONE add an extra S on the end of the title?! Allan.

Dzz, I'm up for it, sounds fun - it'll take a week or so, since there are a lot of 'real life (tm)' issues, but it doesn't sound awfully hard. What format do the tiles need to be in, etc? Send me a PM. Sterf, Dzz has already pointed out that bug when he first released the beta. It will be fixed...

Dzz, just curious, how easy is it to change the tiles? It would be nice, since you have already added the zoom in real close option to be able to put some higher res stuff in there. Allan. (Currently using a Succubus to level up, already at EXP Level 9 on DL 2, *dorky grin*)

Might work with qtopia. Allan.

As far as I understand it, the only way we'll see GBA emulation at a decent speed is for someone to 'reinterpret' the ARM codes so it actually uses the ARM processor like a GBA - not really emulation as such, but apparently it could work, and work well - that's how they got it working on the...

NETHACK! dzz's port of Nethack is freaking brilliant. And when you can wear rings it'll be even better! :) (not that I really use rings much) Allan.

Another odd bug, not really a BUG as such, just an oddity - when you are standing on an altar, the menu suggests that you 'loot' the altar, and when you click the 'Loot' button it attempts a sacrifice. So it sounds like the text is wrong. :) Another option addition that you might want to...

Despite the fact that I feel you are being quite reactionary (lighten up, dude!) I agree that cbox was needlessly being a tool. All the guy is doing is putting on a discussion about making a new d-pad and you accuse the guy of scamming? What is with you? Allan.

First up dzz, I'm not sure if the scrolling and zooming features were added by you or were part of the version of Nethack you ported (I presume NeWT?) but my god it looks cool. I never thought that scrolling would add to a Nethack experience. :) As for bug reports, apart from the one you...

IveGotthePawa, although I appreciate your efforts - I don't own a PSP, and this part of the forum is dedicated to the Gp2x. I can see it would be useful to dzz (the guy who's porting Nethack) and maybe anyone else hard at work at it - but you got my hopes up. ;) How are you doing there, dzz...
