Diablo build for modern operating system.

Initial Switch port by MGV and is now officially supported.

Installation

Note: You'll need access to the data from the original game. If you don't have an original CD then you can buy Diablo from GoG.com. Shareware version is also supported.

Download the latest DevilutionX release, copy devilutionx.nro in into /switch/devilutionx/.

Copy the MPQ files to /switch/devilutionx/.

  • For Diablo, you need DIABDAT.MPQ from the CD or GOG-installation (or extract it from the GoG installer).
  • For Diablo: Hellfire expansion, you need to also copy hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, hfvoice.mpq.
  • Alternatively, you can use spawn.mpq from the shareware version, in place of DIABDAT.MPQ, to play the shareware portion of the game.

Launch devilutionx.nro by holding R the installed game. Do not use the album to launch, if you use the album, the homebrew will only have a small amount of memory available, and the touch keyboard won't work. This is true for all homebrew, not just DevilutionX.
