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.
• Enjoy

What do you mean by saying "you have to start completely new"? New character or just a new game?

I am pretty sure new character. Somebody over at www.github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/issues looked at your latest save game and said it shows the corruption created by preview_10 still.

I think this means: a new game is not enough. Delete all files Diablo-nx created and start over fresh with preview_11.

Holy crap, MVG.. you're the freaking man

@rsn8887 @MVG regarding this issue I assume the problem lays on the branch proyect? If that so should I report there too, ajenbo is aware of it so not sure if open another issue.

 

[rsn8887]

I think the problem is known. However, I cannot find the issue upstream anymore.

I uploaded a new Switch version with latest upstream fixes. I am not sure if it fixes anything important or not. It is attached to this Patreon post, called "diablo-nx_preview_12.zip": https://www.patreon.com/posts/28579865

Soo... is this still working on current CFWs with all the modifications to controls nintendo did? where the it port hosted now? the link above goes nowhere, the github page is down..

I updated all my homebrew recently, see here:

Latest Diablo (re-compiled for 9.0.0) is here:

Question (technically off-topic but wanted to know regardless); will we be seeing these fixes - particularly joystick support - on other platforms? And on a similar note, could there be an Android port on the way for upstream?

No need to feel obligated, but more curious.

 

[rsn8887]

Yes and yes, Devilution Team is working on all that (and an Amiga Port as well)

 

[Rahkeesh]

Uh, is that an AGA port or are they straight up going for 500s?

Be real amusing to play this in UAE4ALL2 or P-UAE.

 

[rsn8887]

Amiga OS4 only at the moment, I think.

 

[SeongGino]

I was going to say that an AGA port would be unlikely, but that's neat!

Maybe when multiplayer is working fully cross-platform, I can sense plenty of future fun with Diablo play between different devices.

I’m having an issue when loading the game via holding R on a game cart, I would get to the diablo menu and then my joycons don’t work at all, I’m using atmosphere latest release and I’m on 9.0.1 fw

 

[rsn8887]

The Switch versions will soon be part of official releases. Try the latest Switch executable from upstream repo in the meantime (zip file attached)

Does this fix the issue with the joycons buttons not working ?

 

[rsn8887]

It should. However, I cannot test because I am not using OFW 9.0.x

Yea it still doesn’t work for me I just tested it out, I’m using atmosphere 9.0.4 I believe if it matters

My only explanation is that somehow the official DevilutionX buildbot is using an outdated DevkitPro.

Try this attached latest build, please. I just made it myself using updated devkit. If this doesn't work, then I don't know.

Make sure you see a version info in bottom left corner of title screen it should say version 0.5 or some such.

I re-compiled all my homebrew myself for 9.x compatibility see here https://gbatemp.net/threads/my-homebrew-re-compiled-with-9-0-0-support.548105/#post-8790545. But if I remember right, I think Diablo was the exception. I think, with Diablo, I always relied on latest official buidlbot build, because I assumed the devs had updated the buildbot already long time ago. Maybe they didn't.

This one works great! I wanted to play this game for so long now! I finally get the chance to thanks to you and anyone else who worked on this so thanks guys!

Ok, I updated my other post and the GitHub release page https://github.com/rsn8887/devilutionX/releases/latest
as well.

You might want to reinstall/reupdate atmosphere, in case you are somehow using an old version of hb loader or hbmenu. Because these controller problems should not happen with current atmosphere, regardless how I built the homebrew apps.
