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

Hello. The latest release says duping by belt has been fixed.
Does that mean we can’t dupe anymore?
I’m asking because if it won’t work anymore I don’t want to update.

 

[Keriam]

The release is awesome ! Controls are very smart, this is the original game of Diablo better than the portage on playstation.

Graphics & Gameplay are outdated but this is a nostalgia game :-D

Hey guys! I run into a strange issue. I run the game fine but I have no controls. There's no input at all. It just stays at the main menu. Any ideas?

I suppose you're using MVG binary ? it was compiled in 2019 thus is not compatible with 10.x/11.x firmware
give this a try : https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/releases/tag/1.1.0 (should be compiled with recent libnx ?)

...and you were spot on! loool I was using MVG's binary indeed. I first downloaded it from the switch's homebrew store and second time manually myself. I regret to say that I didn't properly researhed it, but going through the MVG's release seemed the obvious way. Anyway, now works great! Thank you for your time and help!

 

[Badablek]

no problem, this thread is about MVG's build, so you're not faulty to try to use it
but old builds always mean problem with latest firmwares, you just have to be careful about the compilation's date for all your homebrews.

Is there online support?

 

[rsn8887]

No.

 

[mathew77]

No.

Sorry for a dumb question — why not?..

It hasn't been implemented yet. I think the official Diasurgical devs are working on it.

Small problem @AJenbo: Quitting on the new version causes Devilution to lock up on a black screen, and a force-close by closing the title-overridden game consistently throws a Fatal.
Latest Atmosphere, only a few plugins active (ovlloader/Tesla, bitmap-printer, and sysclk).
It managed to exit fine on the last stable release.

I think this was concluded to be an issue with other apps installed on the device. Sorry for the late response, I'm not really on here, feel free to post issues on GitHub though

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, ask whoever is in charge of the switch homebrew app store to update your entry and it'll bump you to the top on there too.

How would I do that? I Tweeted a bit with MVG, he said he would like to update it once there was widescreen support, but when I messaged him about 1.1.0's release he never responded

 

[Davycrockof]

this keeps crashing, failing to boot. ive recopied the diabdat multiple times and no effect

Guys, can someone point me in the direction of a currently most up to date port of devilution x? I'm trying to play it again, but it's not working after I moved from sx os to Atmosphere. I'm on horizon 12.0.3 and ams 0.19.4. I have been told it doesn't work on the current version of atmosphere and horizon either.

devilutionX 1.1.0 works nicely on my 13.0.0 switch under AMS 1.1.1.
Don't know who told you it doesn't work, but he's wrong.

the only downside : the Switch crashes everytime you use "EXIT DIABLO". So, don't use it. Save your game, then exit with the Switch menu

 

[Csmrcc]

Im gonna try the last update, pray for me

Could you test with the latest release (1.3.0). Sorry for the late replay I'm not much this forum. So best way to report issues is via GitHub

Uh you missed out on 1.2.1 Pretty big update as it adds Hellfire support.

Just two weeks before 1.3.0 comes out There are some pretty nice updates in the latest version. Like 60fps and cross-play multiplayer. Another boat load of bug-fixes and many other improvements, hope you are brave enough to try and update again
