A fan of the classics? DevilutionX is a modern game engine for running Diablo and Hellfire on various systems and a big new update has rolled out. This is a community-made thing, not endorsed by Blizzard.
Just some of the upgrades available in DevilutionX compared with the original includes: gamepad support, better multiplayer, high FPS support, hardware cursor support, custom resolutions and aspect ratios and so much more. What's new in the 1.5.0 release? Quite a lot including: floating damage numbers, an option to auto pick-up oils, quest items drop based on difficulty, all quests now available in multiplayer, PvP arenas, graphics and lighting improvements, upgraded translations and lots more.
This release also includes a whole bunch of bug fixes to problems in the original game and the expansion. So it should play better than ever.
Find it on GitHub. You do need to own the game to play it so pick up Diablo from GOG. It even works on Steam Deck.

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm hoping Diablo 2 eventually gets the same treatment. Mainly because playing it on one of my Amigas would just be sweet.
You don't how hard I'm crossing my fingers for this!
Also... Diablo II would run on Amiga?!
Quoting: CyrilI think slaapliedje's referring to the modern-day Amiga port of DevilutionX. I'm pretty certain it requires a very beefed up Amiga (RTG card + accelerator), not just a stock one. I'm using a Vampire-equipped A500 myself, so I'm never quite sure what that translates to in period-accurate terms.Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm hoping Diablo 2 eventually gets the same treatment.

Quoting: CyrilHa, guess it depends. It would very much run on AmigaOS4. Might work on an 060 based Amiga.Quoting: slaapliedjeI'm hoping Diablo 2 eventually gets the same treatment. Mainly because playing it on one of my Amigas would just be sweet.

Quoting: CybolicYes, a v2 Vampire I think is roughly a 150mhz 68060, and v4 Vampire is roughly a 250mhz 68060. Not counting the SAGA / Audio improvements of course.Quoting: CyrilI think slaapliedje's referring to the modern-day Amiga port of DevilutionX.

That's the way I loaded it and it set everything up for me.
Next I will try the same thing on my Steam Deck and see how that goes...

Quoting: Kronos_MOTAs an FYI, if you own Diablo from GOG and use Lutris, there is an option to install the GOG version with DevilutionX right through Lutris.Wonder if they could make it more gamepad friendly with DevilutionX. Then you'd have the best of both worlds, the higher resolution / zoom out of the PC version, with the gamepad support of the PSX version.
