Nintendo Switch Port of DevilutionX (Diablo)

Diablo build for modern operating systems. This is the Nintendo Switch Port. It's still in Beta as i continue to map the controls over from the PC version

How To Play:

• Extract contents of diablo-nx.zip release into SDMC:\switch\diablo-nx
• Copy DIABDAT.MPQ from original Diablo game disc or GOG version.
• Launch diablo-nx.nro
• Note: Hold R on any installed game and launch it. Do not use photo-album to launch. If you use photo-album, the homebrew only has very little memory available, and the touch keyboard doesn't work. This is true for all homebrew, not just Diablo-NX.

[LucasM3]

No worries man! I honestly assumed I was being stupid haha. Haven’t played Diablo since I was like 16, figured I’d just forgotten something obvious.

Great job on this

 

[naed06]

Awesome!!!! Can never get enough diablo

 

[Seelbreaker]

Could this also work with Hellfire? It has more classes than Diablo

Many thx, gonna try that out on my vacation

 

[Deleted User]

Love your videos and your emulators! Definetly gonna have to try this out, as I loved Diablo 3 and never played the previous 2.

Many thanks for this port!

 

[roflpwnt]

Game just boots to a black screen then kicks me back to hbmenu.
Any idea what could be going wrong?

This is great! I love this game and I still play it a lot, be it Diablo HD (belzebub / tchernobog) or Diablo The Hell, or de PSX version on my phone.

Simply love this game.

Ok, so let me give you some feedback on the switch port.

First, the control scheme obviously needs some work, as targeting and general use of the shortcuts are messed up. Some times I stand in front of a chest or door and can not open it because the game is targeting something else (i think). Some times the mouse cursor won't come up, etc.

Bugs:
The menu music is not playing.
I can increase my char stats without leveling up just by pressing on the location where the buttons show up when leveling.

Control related bugs(?):
I can't find a way to open the map.
Movement is mostly 4 directions, instead of the 8 directions on the PC/PSX.

I've favorited this thread and will be following your work closely.

If you don't mind a sugestion, would it be possible to implement widescreen support? Noktis has done a great work on this on hes mods, which you can check by googling diablohd, should be first hit (unable to post links because of new account) perhaps you can get in touch with him, and see if he can share part of hes code (which I don't know why it isn't open source yet).

I don't really know if you intend on putting out a fully faithful port of the game or if wide screen suport is a valid sugestion, but there it is.

Btw, thanks for all the emulators and things you worked on for the xbox, I still use the og xbox thanks to the efforts of people like you.

Cheers from Brazil.

I made a PR to make the right stick mouse control truly analog, map right mouse button to ZL, and map the 'heal potion' hotkey to A. https://github.com/lantus/devilution-nx/pull/1

I cannot test the code because I get a compilation error (missing sys/mmap.h), but it is simple enough so it should just work.

 

[tabzer]

It is compatible with Hellfire? even if it isn't, this is great. Good work.

Is it compatible or tweakable to work with Hellfire? If I remember correctly, hellfire uses the mpq format, too.

 

[BlueCop]

Hellfire doesn't work yet in devilutionX. they seemed to working on it though.

The smacker videos seem to be broken for me. Are the cut scene videos playing for anyone?

 

[Psionic Roshambo]

Can someone port BoBaFeTT's Trainer hehehehe I need to terrorize bnet again

that means it cant read the MPQ for some reason. make sure permissions isnt set to read only

(mostly) works. The y axis on the analog mouse was inverted. corrected it.

the right analog stick emulates the mouse and the ZR button is left click. from here you should be able to pull up the map

agree with you that the control needs some tweaking. I am looking to address it now

thanks

 

[Rahkeesh]

But you already had the ps1 version. Someone should port diablo 2.

The PS1 version really struggled for me in PSXRearmed, its not super playable. This port will have far better resolution as well.

This fixed it, thanks.

 

[Csmrcc]

anyone tried it with the blizzard version (not cd not gog)?

 

[fadx]

Great work, can't wait for part 2 on the Xbox 360's security!

 

[sou]

Great job!
Btw Is there an arm build for this? I mean, can this be played in L4T for the switch?

 

[cucholix]

Can someone confirm if this file works?:
