Guest Gorskar Posted February 24, 2003 Report Posted February 24, 2003 Hey, just noticed on smartgamer info on a port of nethack to the smartphone. I'm just going to check it out now.
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 I've installed it....just the sort of game i like, cheers 4 the post !!
Guest Emad Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Yay! One of the best games out there graces our smartphone :) There goes my productivity..
Guest RCAM Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 (edited) I am sure some of you were confused as to where to download the file as I was. Here is a direct link to one of the servers. http://telia.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforg...1ce-sph-ARM.CAB Install Instructions: Step 1: download Download the file. Step 2: unpack. Run the installer package and follow on-screen instructions. If you are new to installing software under Windows CE, there is additional information available from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/c...ep/software.asp Step 3: run. A shortcut to NetHack will be created in the Games folder on the device. Hope this is helpful. Also note that you do need to have a software unlocked phone. Edited December 8, 2008 by RCAM

Guest martin Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 How do you run the _setup (XML document) as a script for installation ? _setup always seems to want to load up as a text document only.
Guest martin Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 OK. I see it now. I've just realised that a zip file containing _setup is in the same format as the orange add-ons. I just copied the zip file to the SD card (the same directory as add-ons), Reseated the SD card and ticked the app to load. I'm sure there's an easier way to run the installer. The Warbirds Demo also uses this setup - so I'm off to install that too.
Guest Pidder Posted February 25, 2003 Report Posted February 25, 2003 Yep (you can open it with all-explorer, if you got a version of it, simly by clicking it or you can make a shortcut of i with the explore function of your activesync and drop it to ipsmwindowsstart menu or similar)
