New page

Install Diablo from your original Cd-Rom. Do not run the game after the installation. Instead, configure wine.
'''$''' winecfg
Add ''Diablo.exe'' to the applications. Set the Windows Version to "Windows 95". On the Graphics tab, check all the options and select a virtual desktop of 800x600.

Despite the latest patches, Diablo still requires that you have the cd-rom in your cdrom drive. We don't like swapping CDs, so let's make an iso from our Diablo cd-rom we can use instead.
'''$''' sudo dd if=/dev/cdrom of=diablo.iso
After the command completes, you should have a file called diablo.iso in your working directory. Copy this to your desired location. Next, let's mount it as our cd-rom.
'''$''' sudo mount -o loop /path/to/diablo.iso /mnt/cdrom
You should now be able to run the game.

+You should now be able to run the game... but mine crashes. shit. So, if you really want to play Diablo on Gentoo, you'll need to install it in Virtualized Windows. That worked for me.

+You should now be able to run the game... but mine crashes. shit. Perhaps this will be fixed in a later version of wine so it can be played natively.
