I'm not sure if this is the place for technical help, so if this isn't then I'll ask elsewhere. I've just been unable to get the config file to work with Nethack QT v3.4.3 on my Macbook running OS X version 10.5.8. I've read a few solutions online saying that I put Nethack Defaults.txt into the Library/Preferences folder and make sure that it's accessible to everyone. I've done those things, made my .txt file and tried it with and without the extension and every time I start up I get the same annoying default settings which I have to re-configure YASD after YASD. Gets tiring.

I'm . . . not quite sure if I need to put the executable file in a certain directory or if perhaps I'm just too dumb to using the terminal to figure out how one properly installs NetHack. I can get the game to work fine but it juuuust can't seem to access the config file. Any ideas?--Eatenbyrobots 04:04, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
