About

A static recompilation of Diablo built on psxrecomp and recomp-ui, targeting Windows x64, Linux x64 and macOS in a v0.1.1 candidate. Project-owned files use the GPL-3.0-only license, which does not cover psxrecomp, recomp-ui, game data, generated retail code, artwork, names or trademarks.

Getting started
