Hi all! Many of you might know Diablo 1 back from the days. A bit-identical source code version is available from github: diasurgical/devilution A newer versions for modern OS is available here: diasurgical/devilutionX I added platform support for the clockwork pi GameShell and I kindly ask you to run a beta test before I submit a pull request: What you need is: - A copy of diablo 1 (get your CD from your parents loft or buy a copy from the download platforms) and copy the diabdat.mpq to ‘/home/cpi/.local/share/diasurgical/devilution/’ - Copy [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh/](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh/) **init**.py to your GameShell under a new folder in /home/cpi/apps/Menu. - Restart the UI which will make the devilutionX available where you have put it to (in case the UI is stuck at “loading”, simply delete the **init**.py from the sd card). - Open devilutionX and hit “X” to download the source and compile it. It should take about five minutes. When everything is in place, hit “A” to play. You can have a look at the key mapping here: [https://github.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/tree/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh](https://github.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/tree/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh) Please tell me if anything is missing and if the key mapping is useful. In the mean time, I will tidy up some things and inform you when the pull request has been accepted so we can switch to the diasurgical team. Happy slaying daniel ---

Nice, I was lazy to try it and went for the PS1 version of Diablo I might need to dig up the CD of Diablo I have laying somewhere. ---

I really like your installer script! But it currently seems to have a bug… - I grabbed ` __init__.py` with wget and put it in /home/cpi/apps/Menu/21\_Indie Games/46\_Diablo. It ran fine and looked good as it synced with git and built the sources. - I restarted the launcher - Instead of seeing something different in the Diablo directory I mentioned above, instead a new directory is at /home/cpi/apps/Menu/21\_Indie and it contains a different ` __init__.py` and ` __init__.pyc` I think the space in the “21\_Indie Games” directory is tripping up your script. ☹ ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/6/6d4c316986cd8d2aee6a4099a7ae977a30115c5f.png) ---

I deleted the ` __init__.py` and ` __init__.pyc` files that were in my 26\_Diablo directory and moved the ones that were in the “21\_Indie” directory there. Seems like that is working (I haven’t copied the game data file over yet, so that’s fine.) ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/5/5ac688a850df34f642f766c418262aeb074496da.png) It didn’t show the icon though. ☹ I guess it’s still tied to the bogus 21\_Indie directory (which I now deleted). ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/4/43aa58d4b1467ecaf406e46780b298f359ca7590.png) ---

Aha! I found the errant icon! It was installed to: `/home/cpi/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell/Indie.png` I just moved it to `/home/cpi/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell/21_Indie Games/Diablo.png`, reloaded the launcher, and now it shows up properly. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/f/f783ea29cfb82bad21f1f05ac2d5ae702c74e763.png) So yeah, I’m guessing that space in the name is causing problems in your python script. Also, I had to create the bold part of the path here, to copy the file in: `/home/cpi/.local/share/ **diasurgical/devilution** ` Might be a good idea to have it look for the game data file under `/home/cpi/games/devilution`since And the file I used from CD was all uppercase, and it only works if it’s lowercase. Sorry to be nitpicky, but hopefully this will prevent confusion for some other folks. YAY! ![capture](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/8/8fa81f8d74567bce704523698a2e2697c14ed4ce.png) ![capture-2](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/clockworkpi/original/2X/1/14d69b41ccc69ef575d116cc5628717993592304.png) ---

First, thanks for your help on this, your post really helped me. But i really wanna know what the visualizer app you’re using is! ---

I took the screenshots with two different things. The ones inside a window are partial screenshots (using Windows 10’s “Snip”) I took using VNC. I installed the VNC server on my Gameshell, similar to these instructions: > **[How to Setup X11VNC Server on Ubuntu & LinuxMint – TecAdmin](https://tecadmin.net/setup-x11vnc-server-on-ubuntu-linuxmint/)** > > How to Setup X11VNC Server on Ubuntu & LinuxMint. Configure remote desktop software on (x11vnc) on Ubuntu, Debian and LinuxMint operating systems Since I don’t want it running all the time, I just put this in a script (all on one line, for the second line starting with sudo) and run it when I want to start the server: > #!/bin/bash > sudo x11vnc -auth guess -display :0 -forever -loop -noxdamage -repeat -rfbauth /home/cpi/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5900 -shared -noshm Then on Windows I have UltraVNC (Viewer) installed, and I connect to my Gameshell that way. For the screenshots at the end, I took them on the Gameshell as described here: > [@Making screenshot of Gameshell](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/making-screenshot-of-gameshell/2647/2): > > You could try X11 forwarding to your PC and screen capture from there. [[X11 Forwarding or else how to display GameShell's screen on your pc's desktop](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/x11-forwarding-or-else-how-to-display-gameshells-screen-on-your-pcs-desktop/2380)] I made a script that is a little fancier though. With mine I can just run it and it will create the next numbered capture file, and than I can go back and rename it later if I want: > #!/bin/bash > name=capture.png > path=$(dirname “$name”) > filename=$(basename “$name”) > extension=“${filename##_.}" > filename="${filename%._}” > if [[-e $path/$filename.$extension]] ; then > i=2 > while [[-e $path/$filename-$i.$extension]] ; do > let i++ > done > filename=$filename-$i > fi > target=$path/$filename.$extension > export DISPLAY=:0; xwd -root | convert xwd:- $target I might have had to do a `sudo apt-get install xwd` before I could use it in the script though. I don’t remember if it was already installed or not. ---

hi @adcockm, thanks for the fast reply. I am really sorry for the trouble. I updated the script with some escaping for the paths. You can find the newest script here: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh/](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/danie1kr/devilutionX/gameshell/Packaging/cpi-gamesh/) **init**.py. Please copy it directly as updating will not work properly. Best Regards daniel ---

Good news, the pull request has been merged into the main repository. Grab a new \_\_init.py\_\_ from [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/master/Packaging/cpi-gamesh/ __init__.py), replacing the old one. Then remove the directory from /home/games/devilutionX and restart the UI. Cloning again and updating is necessary for this step. Your save games are savely stored in another location and remain untouched.
