Homebrew A Diablo I port based on the recent Reverse Engineering of the Original Game

[blackkawa]

So, recently a Dev posted a engine called Devilution, capable of playing the original Diablo I game with better support for newer systems, and for mods, as people can edit the game directly for editing, not using flaws like memory leaks. So, with this project, i think it would be possible to this engine to be ported to a majority of systems, like our beloved WiiU, since it haves a touchpad permitting a better way to input with the game. If not people are interested on it, someone could make a libRetro port of the Diablo I engine so it could be used as well.

I'd love this idea, even though we can play it on WiiSXR on Wii Mode, multiplayer is kinda wacky and theres a few sound errors and stuff...

It'd be cool to play Diablo with the Wii U Gamepad, but I feel like a Switch port will happen before this does.
