A port of the classic dungeon crawler Diablo is being developed for the Sega Dreamcast by @azi_hassan, using the Devilutin platform.
More Dreamcast goodies.
I love it. Viva la Dreamcast
Looks like the Dreamcast isn’t just a dream anymore.
Sega is definitely winning the console war now.
The mouse controls must be atrocious on a console
I’ve played Devilution X on my Anbernic handheld and it was serviceable enough, I got to like level 17 before I ran out of steam on my rogue.
I never played it, but Diablo was officially ported to the original PlayStation
Maybe it’ll make use of the official Sega Dreamcast mouse?
But… why? Like I’m all for getting retro games working again when they dont, but why back port a game like this to an old console? I don’t get it
It’s like kissing that ugly girl in a party nobody wants to partake with – it’s useless and completely unnecessary… but oh boy it sure is fun!
Tell us more.
Because its a challenge for the developer and therefore fun.
It’s like making doom run on a pregnancy test.

Yes, definitely!
It’s like making doom run on a pregnancy test.
Wasn’t that just getting it to display on a tiny screen? The pregnancy test itself didn’t have suitable hardware, or even a suitable screen, as far as I can recall
Spoiler, it didn’t run on the test itself. It ran on hardware shoved inside the test shell if I recall right.
Are they using the windows CE method to make the game run?
That would be how I’d try to do it.
