Diablo 1 ported to PI

Riverstorm

@exarkuniv - Sorry, the Pi 3 is a mess of issues to get it working. I hooked up my Pi 4 and it worked on the first go. I also tested Hellfire and it seems to work fine too. The widescreen patch filled out the monitor and looks good. Thanks a bunch for the update!

ExarKunIv

@riverstorm glad that you got it to work. I only have my Pi4 hooked so that's all I can play with. So I did not think about messing with my pi3

I think the pi3 could work but you would have to manually install a higher version of cmake.

It can be done. I have done it when I was trying to get the duke nukem 2 port to work.

@exarkuniv Thanks so much! I finally got it to compile! I ended up having the font issue others had, but once I moved the font to the truetype folder, all is good :D

@zerojay Hi, I just wanted to report, that your scriptmodule isn't working anymore (for me at last). I searched around a little and I was able to compile again when I changed-DBINARY_RELEASE=ON to -DVERSION_NUM=1.2.0 in the cmake options of your scriptmodule.
The problem is described here and probably an easy fix.

I think it would be best to compile the masterbranch, but so far I coudn't figure out, how ^_^;

ExarKunIv

@ecto so it changed again, lol. yes getting it to use master would be better, but even when i ask them on github a few months back i was told to do it the same way you found.
just at the time it was a version 1.1.0.

i think for now this is what we need to do.

@exarkuniv i just updatet to version 1.3 they only have a zip and prebuild deb on their seit for pi but i changed your script a little and it works so far i can say. I started the game and walked around a bit.
Here's the script of yours with some changes

@mumbojumbo i will update on my end. thanks

Addison

Is 1.4.0 the most updated source to be used?

It's the only release that's showing linux-armhf.7z to be available.

Trying to use the following guide for setup:
https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/wiki/Retropie-Guide

ExarKunIv

@Addison yes that's the last version that they released with linux-armhf.7z

i updated the script to that version

Addison

Thanks!

Was hoping to get this to run today. :)

ExarKunIv

@Addison at some point ill look to see if i can compile a newer version

Addison

Ended up with a black screen for a few seconds then a return to Emulation Station.

That was all that showed in the log file.

Have I somehow misplaced where the required files need to be?

alt text

Also, no diablo.ini was generated in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/diablo/gamedata

ExarKunIv

@Addison the ini file won't be generated yet

As far as the rest of it I don't know. I'll have to try it tomorrow and see what I get

If you always want you can edit the script file and change 1.4 to 1.3 and it still should work like before.

It's possible I tried that version and it didn't work.
I don't remember.n

Addison

Thank you.

1.3.0 is working. :D

ExarKunIv

@Addison awesome.

I will take a look as see what's up with 1.4

ExarKunIv

@Addison so version 1.4 and up need libfmt 7 or higher
Buster only has version 5.2.1.
so that's why it doesn't work

im looking into what can be done, if anything

Addison

@ExarKunIv

Think you might be able to get all the way up to 1.5.1?

ExarKunIv

@Addison I hoping so.

Right now I get half way in compiling and it errors out.
The problem is that we need gcc 10.1 or higher since there is something included in that. That we need to compile.

But buster only have 8.3.
I'm looking onto how to bring it up. But it might or might not break something else within Retropie when someone tries to build something else

But one thing at a time, right

ExarKunIv

@Addison DevilutionX is now running at 1.5.1.

you will need to update the script and reinstall.
it does take a few min since you will not be compiling it from source

Addison

I chose Update RetroPie-Setup script.

Then did a full Update.

Then Manage packages

Manage experimental packages

devilutionx

Install from source

Somehow I think I did that all wrong. lol
