I tried it on my Sam460ex and found it was too slow.

How far were you getting. I remember the docs saying that one particular file had to be there but I found it wasn't enough. If you can't even start, I can recheck my installation and see what it was missing.

Sounds familiar. I'll look this evening.

I just took a look.

I needed the following files in the diablo home directory:
* devilutionx.mpq
* DIABDAT.MPQ

devilutionx (the application) and diablo.ini were already installed by original download, so in total there were 4 files. I also have MANUAL.PDF but I doubt that matters.

Even so, it was too slow to play for some reason. Maybe I need to tweak settings in diablo.ini. Not sure. I am running on SAM460cr.

I don't know if it is compiled for PPC. I will check the executable.

FYI, for me it all seems fine until I move the mouse (kinda essential) and then everything slows to an unplayable 3FPS including the mouse movement. I just don't know why it is such a specific issue for me. I see others showing the game running on a SAM with no issues. Strange.

I can confirm that I am using the OS4 version, so emulation is not the issue. It is probably something to do with my setup.
