Wow! I did not think this was possible after having seen how it performs on the Vita.

Rahkeesh · Nov 15, 2019

Contrary to popular belief, new 3DS does have an overall stronger CPU than vita, as comparable emulators have shown time and again.

I hope long-term goal is to move the HUD to the bottom screen and resize view area to 1:1 pixel mapping. Still, very cool to have this on 3DS.

Zense · Nov 16, 2019

Huh, I didn't know. Obviously you're talking about the New 3DS though. I guess what makes the difference in performance between them is the graphics processor and the ram of the Vita?

I take it this relies mostly on the CPU then?

Diablo is a game that got me intrigued solely because of the Tristram village theme that I discovered recently, since I was never really into these sorts of games on the PC.

Rahkeesh · Nov 16, 2019

Chances are this has very little GPU acceleration, just like the original game, so yeah CPU speed is the main thing.

Zense · Nov 16, 2019

I tried testing this and after character creation and the inital loading it freezes and I get this.

At character creation, did you enter a name of some sort?

I believe early switch / vita ports used a per-entered name to prevent this, before keyboard support.

With the limited knowledge and experience on developing from my side, my goal would be having a 3ds port supported upstream by the diasugical team.

A lot of progress has been made in making devilutionx more suitable for consoles. And with the recently added SDL1 support, this build was incredibly easy to accomplish with limited changes. Easier than petting kittens.

I do believe features mentioned and others can be achieved eventually, but it probably requires a more talented developer than i am. Or maybe an actual developer..

Yeah I was only able to write ;;;;; so I used that. I'll try getting a pregenerated name then.

I made everything as in the description but for some reason the game can not open the carrissilb.ttf file. Why?

How far do you get in playing the game? Sounds similar to my issue.

MrHuu · Nov 16, 2019

The OP has been updated with a new build which fixes the issue.

This does introduce a annoying issue with controller support, the screen doesn't get updated after a button press. So you have to use the touchpad (mouse) for now, instead of the buttons. sorry..

You can delete the 'CharisSILB.ttf' file from your sd, as it is included in the build now.

James_ · Nov 16, 2019

Huh, this is quite interesting. Kinda surprised that it works on New 3DS. Great job.

MrHuu · Nov 16, 2019

Updated the OP with github linked.

Do as you wish with it, but PR's are much appreciated..

MrHuu · Nov 17, 2019

Turns out the full game is running fine as-well.
To use it, compile source, and copy over DIABDAT.MPQ.

After character creation it will give an 'out of memory' error.
Reboot, load existing character and the game starts without error.

Edit: Fixed small oversight, should not encounter error at all now.

BEEMOO · Nov 17, 2019

Wow, nice job porting this.

A bit off topic but could I request a game port which is pretty light.
It's called The Binding Of Isaac Afterbirth
If you could port it to the ds it would be awesome! I know this is no small request

You're requesting that a 3DS game be ported to the DS? Is the source code to the original game somewhere? Might be more convenient for you to buy a 2DS directly from Nintendo for $49.

macia10 · Nov 24, 2019

I'm wondering why the poor performance on old3ds. The game run fine on pentium 60 and this is not elulated but build from soirce. So what is happening here?

Sorry for the confusion but I'm asking for this game that is available on pc to be ported to the 3ds.

Rahkeesh · Nov 27, 2019

The source code for Binding of Issac is not available. Rebirth is already on the 3DS e-shop. The series creator said Afterbirth would not be ported because it raised the system requirements too much for the 3DS and Vita.
