Question to any Linux users.
#4
If you're getting a no cd error, I can only think of a few things:

1) your configured WINE CD drive is not pointing at your mounted CD
2) you mentioned you're using Ulmo's stash, which can end up looking for diabdat.mpq on your hard drive in your Diablo folder. To change this behavior, you have to edit PlugUlmo.ini. Also don't forget that linux filesystems are case-sensitive, so if it says it's looking for DIABDAT.MPQ, and you have diabdat.mpq in your folder, you actually have to rename the file in uppercase or it wont work.
3) you're running with wine configured for something other than WindowsXP
4) you're running the game from the wrong shortcut somehow?
5) you actually forgot to put the CD in?

But anyways yeah the information in the compatibility thread for Linux is really old and outdated. I also wrote it back when I had first started using Linux about 4 years ago and didn't know what I was doing.

If you can work out whatever seems to be your problem though, I'd love to hear about it. Any contributions to the game's backwards compatibility are always welcome.

In the future I actually plan to release a video tutorial on how to install Diablo and Hellfire in Linux.

Vision milky, then eyes rot
When you turn they will be gone
Whispering their hidden song
Then you see what cannot be
Shadows move where light should be
Out of darkness, out of mind
Cast down into the halls of the blind
