2. Duplicate Items

   Go to stairs of any level (except upstairs level 1), and drop the item(s) you want to duplicate near the stairs. Now take the stairs up/down. Then, alt-tab out of the game and go to your /nethack directory. You will see some files like <name>.0, <name>.1, <name>.2, etc. The number at the end stands for what level you are on. Ignore the one with 0 at the end. Now copy the level that you dropped the items on, and put it somewhere outside the /nethack directory. Now go back up/down the stairs, pick up your item(s) you wish to duplicate, and go back up/down the stairs once more. Then, put the file of the level with your items back into your /nethack folder. Click 'yes' to overwrite. Then, go back up/down the stairs and there are your precious items!!

   Your final score should still be recorded even though you cheated.

3. Loading Games After You Die

   If you have a character, in your /nethack folder you should see something like <name>.NetHack-saved-game. These are your save files. To prevent your character from being erased after death, simply copy the file of your character outside of the /nethack directory. The next time you die, you can just copy the save file back into the Nethack folder and play from where you saved last time.

   Note: This might be a bit frustrating since you have to copy and overwrite every time you save, but it works!!

4. Crash the game with ''Trickery'' as the reason you died.

   Perform the "duplicate items" glitch, and since it's been fixed, it'll kill your character with "Trickery" as the excuse.
