    Is There A Html Browser For Gp2x?

    I've got a huge offline encyclopedia dedicated to my hobby (horticulture), which is essentially a huge pile of interlinked HTML documents, and I'd like to have it on my GP2X to always carry it with me as a handbook/manual/consultant. I've checked the resources, but don't seem to find any html...

    Nethack

    Marco, I'm sorry. Cause you were asking Dzz, not me, but the thing is - Nethack has few unique features that seem to be its "Holy Writ". First - the appearance of walls and stuff. It's still an ASCII game, heavely relying on the gameplayer's imagination, and training it. Replacing ASCII art...

    Nethack

    Identify gems by applying a touchstone to them. Identify rings by dropping them into sinks and observing the effect (you'll loose the ring, but next time you find such ring it will be already known for you). Weapon/armor becomes known to some extent after you use them for a while. However...

    Nethack

    Blindness, almost always, is temporary - excep for when the creature eats or plucks out your eyes. Even then it's possible to grow new eyes (via various spheres, but I'd rather start anew). But if you loose sight because of potion explosion, or trap, or spellbook, in most cases you'll be killed...

    Nethack

    Okay, more feedback: 1) Cursor in "far look" doesn't work (cursor unseen) if "far look" activated from the menu. If activated by L+X - it works okay. 2) Sometimes during "far look" the cursor paints my avatars wherever it goes. This happened twice. 3) Something wrong with the scroll of...

    Nethack

    Well, if you've never played NetHack before... Oh, well, it's 2006 on the yard, is it? Well, then, I guess I'll have to be telling you "a tale of an old man and Nethack" (if the floodmasters do allow me, and if my bad English won't be too BAD as to diverge a listener from my humble story). First...

    Nethack

    In no way I am in a position to impose, but IMHo, selecting a square by cursor could be easy, no? Especially as you already have cursor implemented in "far look"? Or, will the "illegal move" be a problem then? (having to write a code that will check whether the square can be moved on legallly...

    Map Viewing Program - Pleeaaaseee!

    It would be so good, if an engine could take data from things like Google maps, because then almost everyone can be sure that their town will be there, and not just large cities in western hemisphere :P

    Nethack

    A cheap way fo checking whether the item is cursed or not is thru your pet - pets won't step on cursed item, so you can drop your newly found items somewhere in the doorway and see whether the kitten (little dog) is stepping on it or not. for Dzz Here's the feedback: I noticed that the port...

    Map Viewing Program - Pleeaaaseee!

    I've already posted an idea to port some map viewing software for GP2X, to be able to view city maps, but no enthusiasm met this call :( Maybe, still, anyone would be able to undertake such project? It would be so good to be able to have city maps on our GP2X!

    Nethack

    First of all - my continued thanks to Dzz for great project! Another REALLY GREAT Roguelike is Valhalla AKA Ragnarok. It's unbelievably fantastic :D. Unfortunately, the author of the game disappeared a few years ago (at strange circumstances, too) so my attempts to find the source code were...

    Nethack?

    A very convenient thing to add would be some key combination to scroll back the game messages. You know how it happens - you do something, a few lines of text queckly scroll through message bar, and you go blind :blink: without knowing what caused it... In original Nethack there was a way to...

    Gp2x Energy Saver. New Utility.

    Mine doesn't work either. I have standard old version GP2X, firmware 2.0 I launch the energysaver, don't change into English (it's simple enough, I can read a bit of Spanish), turn it ON, set the timeout on 25 secs, and then bail out with Start, then I go to USB connection, connect to PC and...

    Google Map Viewer

    Additionally, how about WMS? It's open source all the way. Can anyone write a WMS app for GP2X? Here are the links: Wikipedia on WMS : One of the servers Sample WMS application source code I understand, that it can work offline too.

    Google Map Viewer

    But he gives an explanation on how to make it work. Isn't java coming to GP2X?
