PocketPC version
NetHack 3.4.3 for Pocket PC doesn't allow the caret commands (e.g. ^W for a wish, ^G to create a monster etc). This is a bit of a problem, as it mostly defeats the purpose of entering Wizard mode. You do, however, start with a wand of wishing (0:3) to alleviate this somewhat.
Additionally, in this version you can't wish for a "chaotic altar", "altar" or the like, with an error message that reports that "there is no such object in the game" and returns another prompt for you to wish. -- Kalon9999 23:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Nethack-gnome wizard mode?
Can someone explain how to enter wizard mode using nethack-gnome? I get the following error when I run it from the command line:
Error on option -D: unknown option.
Run '/usr/lib/games/nethack/nethack-gnome --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
That path is just a shell script that launches the binary with the nethackrc file. I tried running "gdb $path/nethack-gnome /etc/nethack/nethackrc.gnome" and couldn't get it to work as described in the text. It just spews a bunch of lines saying "(no debugging symbols found)". It also treats the binary and rc file as two separate gdb inputs so that breaks my attempt from the start.
One other question... can you enter wizard mode with if you have a saved game under a regular user since it seems to require running the game as root? Bucketoftruth 06:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
