### Building with Visual C++ 6
- Open the project workspace `Diablo.dsw`, choose `Debug` or `Release`, and then `Build Diablo.exe`.
To build a binary with functions compiled as close as possible to the original, use [Visual C++ 6](https://winworldpc.com/product/visual-c/6x) with Service Pack 3 or lower.
To build a binary with functions compiled as close as possible to the original, use [Visual C++ 6](https://winworldpc.com/product/visual-c/6x) with Service Pack 5 and the [Processor Pack](https://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60ent/update/6/w9x2kxp/en-us/vcpp5.exe) (**important for proper code genration!**)
If you aim to build a binary as close as possible to the original one you will also need [Visual C++ 5](https://winworldpc.com/product/visual-c/5x) with [Service Pack 3](http://www.mediafire.com/file/jw4j4sd5dnzze4p/VS97SP3.zip), since the original binary as linked with the older linker from that. Sadly, you cannot use the old linker right out of VC6, so you'll need to link manually or via the `MakefileVC` in the project root.
