-A port of Nethack - Exploring The Mazes of Menace to the DS.
+NetHack DS is port of the roguelike RPG, Nethack - Exploring The Mazes of Menace, to the DS.
+==Installation==
+Download and extract file.
+[[DLDI|DLDI]] patch .nds file if needed (if your card does not have auto-patching) and copy it along with the files to the root directory of the card.
 ==User guide==
 NetHack is a single player dungeon exploration game that runs on a wide variety of computer systems, with a variety of graphical and text interfaces all using the same game engine.
-Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight - in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
+Unlike many other Dungeons & Dragons-inspired games, the emphasis in NetHack is on discovering the detail of the dungeon and not simply killing everything in sight, in fact, killing everything in sight is a good way to die quickly.
+Each game presents a different landscape. The random number generator provides an essentially unlimited number of variations of the dungeon and its denizens to be discovered by you in one of a number of characters: you can pick race, role and gender.
+==Commands==
+These are controls that apply only to NetHackDS. For a full list of NetHack commands, type "?b" after starting the game.
+* Press the arrow buttons to move up/down/left/right
+* Hold L or R and press two directions at once to move diagonally.
+* F5 - Switch between tiles and ASCII graphics.
+* F6 - Switch the subpixel font used on the top screen. This will fix the blurry text if you are using a DS Lite.
+* Alt+b - Assign commands to any of the buttons A/B/X/Y/Select/Start. L+[button], R+[button], and L+R+[button] can also have commands assigned.
+==Compatibility==
+Does not work on emulator.

+* The keyboard graphics no longer glitch when assigning commands to buttons.
+* The game now reports error messages instead of just freezing when important files are missing.
