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

Holly hell (no pun intended) this is awesome. Do you know if the install files from Blizzard directly will also work? (I dont know why they wouldnt, but gotta ask). I will be downloading this immediately when I get off work.

Edit: Huge fan of your channel. I didnt realize it was you when I saw the name. Excellent work.

Check out MVG's video on the Diablo reverse engineering story

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

1. Instantly crying for another game as soon as a dev releases the first one might be frustrating for him. I share your wish. I don't really wanna play D1 when I have D3 on the Switch but since D2 is way better than D1 (and better in a few aspects than D3) I would wanna play D2 on the Switch as well.
   However this request could have been submitted in a more polite way.
2. This is a native Switch binary which is preferable instead of emulating stuff.
3. This is great work!

hey @RattletraPM here is the guy that made you "famous"

That's amazing, I love Diablo 1! Any chance you'll look into supporting direct character control? Using the analog stick as the mouse isn't really the most comfortable way to play.

 

[Risteing]

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

it has direct control with the left stick and buttons directly will attack/loot/talk to NPC's etc

the right stick is the mouse if you need to change inventory items etc

MVG, Thanks for the Amazing port and video. I have been using your homebrew since the original xbox days so really appreciate everything you've done for homebrew communities.

This is really cool. I don't own Diablo I so I can't test it myself, but does anyone know if the online multiplayer is working for this Switch port?

 

[mathew77]

Thanks, super good work!

A little bugreport: when one opens Options menu twice, the game has crashed.

The original devilution did. Not sure about this one. I am going to try it later.

Multiplayer
Devilution is functional over both GoG's Battle.net server and IPX using an ipx-wrapper. Additionally if Standard.snp from StarCraft 1.16.1 is used, local UDP play also becomes available. There are programs like ZeroTier to connect UDP globally.

Opps this is DeviloutionX not the other one.

Multiplayer

• TCP/IP only requires the host to expose port 6112
• UPD/IP requires that all players expose port 6112

All games are encrypted and password protected.
