Hi guys,
I am currently trying to play Diablo1 again. I had this on PC, but gave it away. Now, so many years later, I really want to play this once more. But I would love to play it on my Amiga. I do seem to remember that there was an Amiga version for Diablo 1. Any idea on how I could get it installed and play it?
Thanks
Pike

Hi there,
If you want to run it on classic Amiga, you can download DevilutionX on Aminet:
http://aminet.net/package/game/actio/DevilutionX (http://aminet.net/package/game/actio/DevilutionX)
The readme includes a link to a shareware version of Diablo, which can be used to try the game. The full version can be purchased on GOG (Good Old Games):
https://www.gog.com/game/diablo (https://www.gog.com/game/diablo)
DevilutionX is also on AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS if I remember correctly.
Hope this was of help. :-)

Thanks - it did. Just purchased the game from GOG, will try the Amiga port next.
-
Sounds good! :) Glad it was of help.
-
Bump.
Has anyone had success with this? I could never get any of the Amiga ports of DevilutionX to work.
-
runs fine.
PiStorm600, CaffeineOS, fyi.

@Matt_H
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.
-
Thanks, Steady. It would crash/hang immediately after starting (black screen).
-
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.
-
Is Devilutionx even compiled for PPC? if not i'd assume it runs emulated on your Sam.

* devilutionx.mpq
* DIABDAT.MPQ
Thanks for your report - I might have been missing devilutionx.mpq. Will look into it again :)

Hi. I am trying to eventually place this on an A1200 but trying to first install on a CF card in WinUAE. I copied the LHA contents over to my games folder and copied the diabdat.mpq file to the folder. When I double click the DevilutionX.exe file I get a "SDL Error" and "no available video device".
I looked at installed this: http://aminet.net/package/dev/misc/SDL-Amiga
but do I need to compile the library? It seems like there may be an easier way to get this working.
-
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.
-
There is an AmigaOS 4.1 port available for download at OS4Depot:
http://os4depot.net/?function=showfile&file=game/roleplaying/devilutionx.lha
This should run very well on the Sam460. :)
-
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.
