For a list of options available see the file. If # the game plays slowly you might notice some improvement by setting # !time and !showexp, which will reduce screen I/O somewhat. # # To change the configuration, comment out the unwanted lines, and # uncomment the configuration you want. # *** OPTIONS *** # # The three options on this line should be used for most setups. # If your machine isn't very IBM-compatible, and NetHack doesn't work, # try commenting out this line. # # Note to blind players: # # Turn off IBMgraphics, using the exclamation-mark, as done below. # OPTIONS=rawio,BIOS,!IBMgraphics # Some versions of NetHack use the pc speaker to play the notes given when # playing music instruments in NetHack. To use this feature, if available, # uncomment the following line: #OPTIONS=soundcard:autodetect # If your machine is NEC PC-9800, use: #OPTIONS=rawio,BIOS,video:default # # # General options. You might also set "silent" so as not to attract # the boss's attention. # # Note for blind players: # # A lot of speech access programs use the number-pad to review the screen. # If this is the case, exclamation-mark out the number_pad option (as done # below) and use the traditional Rogue-like commands. # OPTIONS=notime,noshowexp,!number_pad,lit_corridor,!rest_on_space # # # Some options to set personal preferences. Uncomment and change these to # suit your personal preference.
