Status
This release is an initial Beta test release. I know there are probably some issues, and I definitely know there is some content missing. It's really just for you guys to see how it's going.
Download Pocket Diablo v1.0.
All you need to do is copy the folder in the zip file onto your ppc (anywhere you like), then copy the diabloui.dll file from the Diablo CD into the 'Diablo' folder.
This is just to make sure you actually own a copy of Diablo. If you don't, why the hell not?
You might get an error, saying you need a newer version of the .net framework to version 2.
If you need the cab file, you can download it here
If you get any errors, please report them on my forum so I can deal with them.
But please read the list of errors that I have already posted first, so you know if they are already being dealt with!

Enjoy!

Instructions
The game is mostly stylus controlled. Click on a monster to attack, click on a blank square to move there, etc.

If you press the button in the middle of your keypad (or the enter key) will toggle you between attack only mode and move/attack mode. In attack mode, you will not move, you will just swing / shoot in whatever direction you click.

Clicking on the inv / char buttons will open the inv / char screens (duh). Clicking on the inv / char buttons again will close the screens.

When the menu screen is up (save / load / quit) clicking outside the menu section (basically anywhere except one of the options) will close the screen.

You can only move potions into your quick item slots when in the inv screen. Clicking on the quick slots while in game will use the potion.


I have coded this to run under 640 x 480 as well as 320 x 240, but I haven't been able to test 640 x 480. It should work, but I'm sure there will be problems. If you let me know what they are (with as much description as possible please) then I'll try and fix them.

1/4 screen
Open the config file and change the 3rd option from 1 to 2
That *should* change it to 640 * 480
I'm sure there will be issues in there somewhere, but hopefully it will mostly work.

Has anyone managed to get this working on a Touch Pro?

I tried multiple things, but always get the following error:

Error
-An unexpected error has occurred in PDiablo.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
-An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found.

PDiablo.exe
DirectoryNotFoundException

at System.IO.*** and the list goes on. I have tried putting it on the Storage Card\Diablo just as mentioned above to no avail.

All you need to do is copy the folder in the zip file onto your ppc (anywhere you like), then copy the diabloui.dll file from the Diablo CD into the 'Diablo' folder.

If this isn't working for you, maybe you have a patched copy of the original DLL. See if using the original DLL from the disc makes any difference.

Actually i figured I'd redownload it being that I seen a different file name for the archive. I realized the place where I originally downloaded it only had 26MB, and the one from the homepage is like 32MB so I re-retrieved it from there and have it unarchiving on my cell now. I will try then and see what happens.

When looking at the image file directories I thought it sucked that the sorceror was taken out, but figured the bigger file might have him. Now that it's extracting, I noticed he IS in fact inside which is the main char I always played with anyways. I'll let you know how it goes once done, thanks.

I managed to get it working kinda.... when it starts up the char keeps walking on his own (unless it's supposed to do that for testing). Onside that, the screen often comes up blank where you can only see the progress bar, then graphics kick in like a few seconds later, and selecting the Sorceror crashes it.

"This release is only a beta (and an early beta at that!)
More just proof of concept really."

Controls:
Yeah, I know the controls are a little finicky. They need to be tightened up.
Rogue is definitely the easiest at the moment.
When you are using the warrior, try pressing your keypad button (or enter button) and that will change you into attack only mode.
When in attack only mode, you will swing/fire in the direction you click and not move.
Makes attacking much easier.

This is great! I will test as soon as I can find my Diablo CD... (Has it been 10 years?)
