Anybody 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 roguelike 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:
o 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.
o Support binding R+[A,B,X,Y,Start,Select] (or L, if in left-handed mode).
o Message history is now implemented (use the 'Prev Mesg' command).
o Different names now create separate games, allowing multiple games on the same card (this is actually a bug fix).
* Version 1.10:
o Enhanced the minimap to show additional landmarks, etc.
o Added word wrapping support to menus, text display, etc.
o Added support for a scrolling command window if the commands don't fit on one page.
o With the above, the game now supports larger font sizes.
o Added a few additional commands to the command window.
o Fixed the message display when paging so previous lines aren't redisplayed erroneously.
o Again tried to fix the menu pagedown bug… 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.
