devilutionX VS Full-Diablo-NX

Diablo is the original "anti-souls" game.

The slot machine mechanics, the lacking of significant strategic elements and that sense of hollow progression have always been key factors for my dissatisfaction with it.

That said, the beautiful / dreadful / horror vibe and simplicity of the first game to this day regularly pulls me in – only to ultimately dissatisfy me greatly. Each time. There is "no there there".

So I agree on many fronts with this article.

Diablo could have been so much more but they turned it into a highly engineered form of drug that can potentially destroy you with little to nothing to gain for it (nicotine?).

So depending on the person and with the right .mpq file in hand this could either mean getting addicted to or maybe getting off "cigarettes" completely:

(Devilution/X is amazing and maybe more interesting than playing the game itself, complete clean-room reverse engineered version of Diablo).

Devilution X (Diablo)

Diablo 1 with https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

DevilutionX is a relatively recent project which supports the original Xbox, amongst other platforms.

There basically is already with DevilutionX: https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases

https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX works great on the deck

I would recommend to use DevilutionX, which is an Open Source Port to modern platforms. It has some quality of life adjustments if you like to use them and also has controller support. https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX

I am trying to install DevilutionX 1.4 (which seems to be the latest arm version?) on my Pi 4 running retropie. I followed the instructions in the Wiki .

Additionally you can check how they did it from the reverse engineered source code at https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution

I doubt that. For online matchmaking it has something called zerotier integrated. If you want battle.net, see https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution. It doesn't have any of the improvements in 'X' tho.

I have just released my port of devilution (open source diablo 1 engine) to the switch with all of the necessary files included! You no longer need to search for the required files yourself in order to play all of diablo 1. I have submitted it to the homebrew appstore and am awaiting approval. But until then, here is a link to the github repo if you would like to download it to your switch yourself --> https://github.com/jeb495/Full-Diablo-NX
