SLASHEM

From the land before 3DFX, before VGA graphics and DOOM, before the IBM PC, way back in the dark ages of Unixland, there was a game. They called it Rogue. People played it, and found it good. From this basis, Hack was born. Soon Hack became Nethack, because it was developed by many people (and has nothing to do with hacking the internet). And people played this on many machines, from Unices to Macs to PCs, due to the amazing power of Open Source Code.

But the DevTeam, the reclusive masterminds of Nethack, are a rather quiet bunch, gracing the world with new versions as they see fit, and when they see fit. Which is usually a new version every good number of years.

And there was much gnashing of teeth.

But because of the Freely Available Source Code Phenomenon, people began making their own versions of Nethack to tide themselves between magical releases.

SLASH'EM is the (continuing) saga of one such variant...

This is the homepage for Warren Cheung's modification and experiment in computer engineering based on the 3.3.1 release of Nethack, combining Tom Proudfoot's SLASH and the Larry Stewart-Zerba's Wizard Patch. From these humble beginnings, a not insignificant number of further changes have been added.

a little know info for some but known for others is : back in the day companies made hybrid ports of games from the PlayStation 1 ... they are many games like this a fine example of it is
http://www.legendsworld.net/adventure/game/9709
MIckey Mania ... place it into a PC it will install a custom made Windows Emulator , and you will play in a window (that some used as a homebrew emu for PS1 for some years) ... place this disc into a ps1 and it will play the game also BUT without music (they dumped the CDaudio from this into files see MICKEYMUS)

[myloch]

Are you sure that is an official pc port? I remember some guys in the edonkey golden days used to pack psx/n64 games + emu and add a homemade installer similar to those of true retail titles.

The PC port of Mickey Mania was done by Data Design so yes, it's official.

YES it is a official port ! Like Scary said from Data Design ... there where also 4 games like this ... the thing was you could use the window program from this game as a emu for PS1 games... back in 1995 this was a know thing in the Homebrew Scene aka "How to get your hands on a legal PS1 emulator !!!" ... before 1999 and Bleem! we had this to run PS1 games on PC

What are the other ports? This is interesting, I learned something new

Thinking about that, at least a recent port like Exit has same files&feel as the psp version, you can even use files from the umd iso...built-in emulator?

*edit* hell! 4server is not working I think I'll have to create 4shared account

[annoyment]

hell! 4server is not working I think I'll have to create 4shared account

Yeah, the hell's with that, even Runamux and Getwapi don't work as well, had to waste my free DL bandwidth to get something

I tested the game (you titillated my curiosity): the installer is very "amateurish", there is no mention of Data Design in the files (except for a "copyright 2000 Game Corner" during the installer...wtf is Game Corner?!?), the game title is mispelled ("aventure" instead of "adventure") and the pc port is simply the psx title running under Connectix Virtual Gamestation emulator: they were so lazy they not even changed the executable icon, they kept the Connectix one! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connectix ... me_Station).

Are we sure this isn't a release from France? For example from mobygames.com "Les Aventures de Willy Beamish".

It's probably just laziness.
