Installing

First, you will need access to the game's MPQ files.

• Locate DIABDAT.MPQ on your CD, or in the GoG installation (or extract it from the GoG installer).
• For the Diablo: Hellfire expansion you will also need hellfire.mpq, hfmonk.mpq, hfmusic.mpq, hfvoice.mpq.
• DevilutionX comes with devilutionx.mpq which is required to run the game properly.
• Chinese, Korean, and Japanese users will also need fonts.mpq or the text will be missing.
• For Polish voice support you need pl.mpq

Download the latest DevilutionX release for your system (if available) and extract the contents to a location of your choosing, or build from source. Then follow the system-specific instructions below.

Android

First install the App via one of these 3 methods:

• Google Play
• Copy the APK file to the device and tap on it in the device's file explorer and follow the instructions
• Install via adb install (if USB debugging is enabled on the device)

Then launch the App, this will let it create the folder where you need to place the MPQ files.

Connect the device to your computer via USB cable, and allow data access from your device:

Open the device's internal storage, and navigate to Android/data/org.diasurgical.devilutionx/files, then copy the MPQ-files to this folder.

When the transfer is done you can disconnect your device and press "Check again" in the App to start the game.

• Run devilutionx.exe

Linux
