Ah, a reddit link, mangled by the forum software: for anyone having trouble seeing it. it's

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/8s7wyr/

and it points here: https://github.com/galaxyhaxz/devilution

That seems to be based on various symbolics leaks though, so I don't know how long it'll be around.

It also has some example improvements including highlighting dropped items which is cool.

the new gog release seems to work file with this so far.

the devilutionX "new OSes+ improvements" fork of devilution reached release 0.4 which seems quite stable and supports 32bit Linux + ARM devices

This isn't really relevant for Notaz's Diablo release, it's more of a port request really, but thanks for the information regardless.

well, it might help notaz, e.g. by combine work of both, or substituting parts of each other - as you said info.

I quickly tried that DevilutionX on the Pandora: it works fine, everything is there, but it doesn't add anything compared to notaz version. Worse, you loose all the finely tuned setup for the Pandora, like the fullscreen/4:3 ratio switch or the Touchscreen handling. So while it works fine, current notaz version is still better.

yes, looking into the source code, many things are still hardcoded - yet, recent commits show that the work progresses to overcome this - at one point in future I guess abritrarily resolution and aspect ratio will be possible.

This port is excellent. Thanks a lot!

Motorola 68k fork of Devilutionx running on a Vampire accelerated Amiga has seen some good speed increases too..

I was bored today and installed devilution on my raspberry pi 3 (installed in a pi-top)... seems to work fine.
