Re: "I am Deckard Cain; Stay a while and listen."
@lufte I had the slight issues I mentioned getting it up and running but so far the engine itself has been flawless. To be fair though, I've only played the first couple of levels of the dungeon so far (boy will I be glad when I get a scroll of town portal). I don't have the Hell Fire expansion so that could potentially change things; there are some settings you can add to the config for a few TEST Character Classes but having never played Hell Fire I don't know if the Barbarian etc... are related to that or were excluded from the original for some reason but game data remained present. There are some additional UI elements you can enable too like an XP bar but I'm running it vanilla for now.

@lufte worth mentioning that I'm on Intel integrated graphics too. If you were to run it with an AMDGPU I don't know if that would affect your experience. Back in the day though the loads were fairly (not overly) lengthy but on a modern processor with an SSD its nice and snappy :) I think the original requirement was for a Pentium 133MHz CPU and a few Megs of RAM. Alot of progress has been made since then and of course most newer systems don't even ship with a DVD/BluRay drive let alone a CD-ROM drive.

That's good to know, thanks for the details! And the original game can be bought from GOG so it all looks pretty promising.
I am Deckard Cain; Stay a while and listen. — Been getting the x270 ready for a bank holiday staycation. Ordered and installed a 74Wh removable battery. I also found my old Diablo CD so I've installed devilutionx via pkg_add :) The install was not without a few snags though (and not the good Aussie kind). As you'd expect the pkg_add itself went fine... however, there's no man page with the package to tell you what data files are required froom the original CD nor could I find a readme. After...
