## What it is
DevilutionX is an open-source port of Diablo and Hellfire that runs the classic game on modern operating systems with engine improvements, bug fixes, and quality-of-life features. It requires original game data files and also serves as a base for mods.

## Use cases
- play Diablo on modern operating systems
- run Diablo Hellfire expansion on Linux or Mac
- play the Diablo shareware with spawn.mpq
- use widescreen and quality-of-life improvements in Diablo
- build a mod on top of the Diablo engine
- play an old CD game without compatibility issues

## When to choose
- you own the original Diablo or Hellfire data and want to play it on modern hardware
- you want bug fixes and engine improvements over the original game
- you want a cross-platform Diablo port including handhelds and consoles
- you want a base for Diablo modding

## When to avoid
- you don't own or have access to the original game data files
- you want a modern ARPG rather than a port of the 1996 game
- you want to play Diablo II or Diablo III - this only covers Diablo and Hellfire
