DevilutionX

The DevilutionX is an source port of Diablo and its expansion: Hellfire. It was initially based on Devilution 0.5.0. It was released in 2019.

DevilutionX aims to make the game simple to run and incorporate bugfixes, improvements and other quality of life features.

This system scrapes metadata for the “devilutionx” group and loads the devilutionx set from the currently selected theme, if available.

Grouped with the “ports” group of systems.

  • Emulator: DevilutionX
  • Folder: /userdata/roms/devilutionx
  • Accepted ROM formats: .mpq

You'll need access to the data from the original game. If you don't have an original CD then you can buy Diablo from GoG.com. Alternately you can use spawn.mpq from the shareware version, in place of DIABDAT.MPQ, to play the shareware portion of the game.

Copy DIABDAT.MPQ from the CD or GOG-installation (or extract it from the GoG installer) to the /userdata/roms/devilutionx/ folder.

To run the Diablo: Hellfire expansion you will need to also copy hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, hfvoice.mpq.
