Multiplayer

The 3DS currently supports cross-platform Multiplayer in TCP mode. To play, you will need to enable Wi-Fi on the console and set up a network connection in System Settings. For more general information about Multiplayer and how to set up your network for TCP games, refer to the DevilutionX Multiplayer guide.

When playing Multiplayer, guests will experience better performance than hosts. When playing cross-platform, it is recommended to host your game session on another platform with more capable hardware.

Translations

The 3DS version of the game will attempt to detect the appropriate language based on your 3DS console's language setting. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese users will need to download fonts.mpq or the text will be missing.

It is currently not recommended to use the Chinese, Korean, or Japanese translations on old 3DS models. The game will load additional symbols into system memory as needed while you continue to play the game. There is not enough memory in the old 3DS models to hold all the symbols in memory. It is therefore possible to run out of memory on the console and crash the game simply by using these translations.

To change the language used by the game, you will need to modify diablo.ini. The config folder path for 3DS is the same as the data folder for the MPQs (/3ds/devilutionx on your SD card).

Performance tips

New 3DS models have significantly improved hardware compared to old models. To improve the performance of the game on old 3DS models, you will want to modify diablo.ini. The config folder path for 3DS is the same as the data folder for the MPQs (/3ds/devilutionx on your SD card).

In particular, you will see a significant performance improvement if you set the game to Diablo's original resolution of 640x480.

[Graphics]
Width=640
Height=480

After making this change, if you would like the game to stretch to fit the full area of the top screen, use Fit to Screen=1. If instead you do not like the display to be stretched, use Fit to Screen=0.

Because 3DS uses SDL1, many of the graphics settings do not apply. The following represents the full list of applicable settings.

  • Width
  • Height
  • Fit to Screen
  • Blended Transparency
  • Gamma Correction
  • Color Cycling
  • FPS Limiter
