Nethack - maemo.org

Has anybody been able to get Nethack working? When I start it, the device just restarts after a few seconds after killing the connection.
I'm on the latest OS by the way.

Thanks.

I am pretty sure something about the latest OS hoses Nethack, yes. Same thing here, and at least one other person has reported the same.

I did email the developer of the port to let him know and he responded he would look into it, though he said the program should not crash the 770.

With the fair amount of crashing I am seeing I wouldn't be surprised if it is OS related.

I sure miss my Nethack

But the better response from the 770 in general is worth both it's lack and the occasional spontaneous reboot...

not strictly on topic, but how do you load savegames?

Yeah, Nethack ran fine on my 770 until I applied the latest update, I get the same crash now

Hope he fixes it, its a sweet game.

By typing in the name of the player when the game starts.

Once a player is killed, there is no more save file. Game over.

Of corse if you are a mild cheater like me you have a backup/restore shell script waiting in the home/user directory ...

bummer..just tried to play nethack and it just rebooted my 770...

But, it is a fast way to reboot :-)

Same here. My 770 is brand new, so I never even got to play

FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT!

OK... I will now drink a calming potion of patience.

Anyone tried compiling under the newly released maemo 1.1? did it/would it make any difference?

I did, although I am NOT a linux C guru, I know just enough to mess everything up royaly. I got an error on the compile (after about 5 minutes)

Ideas? Would it even mater if I did get it compiled?

Hi ppl,

I uploaded new nethack packages on my blog http://n770galaxy.blogspot.com/ . It runs ok with last firmware and has some inteface customization acording my preferences.

Sorry if my english is not good as I would like.
