Hello.. I am trying to run Diablo 1 on my mbp (2011) with lion... I am using cross over games 10.1.1 & wine configuration .... I even downloaded xquartz...Im am trying to run in a window which it does... the Blizzard logo rolls in and then thats all I can see... screen is black. when it was in full screen mode the screen would stay white. In both cases I can hear the music and clicking on the menu.. I just can't see it... any ideals? Thanks a million
Have Diablo running on a 2011 macbook pro - OSX 10.7.4 with CX 11.2 - in "windowed" mode and with a patch that requires no "physical" media - googlefu that. Also googlefu that last patch - Diablo 1.09, plus copy the large data file to your diablo install directory
(I have the original CDs and had to run vbox to copy the windows files to a folder so I could run the installer)
There is a long standing issue with no menus - just black screen -- but hit enter twice and you will find your self in game.
Strategies designed for success in v1.09 of Diablo II. These builds will be less effective in v1.10+, due to changes in skill synergies. There were also better items added in v1.10 and later, making the v1.09 equipment choices obsolete.
Crazy as this sounds, you can kill explorer.exe from the task manager once you have Diablo open, and it will fix your technicolor issues. This seems to work with a lot of other older games in Win 7 64-bit.
Edit your game shortcut In Games Explorer: First open Games Explorer and wait until the game update the stats, now close and go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer sort the folders by date and it should be the one down the GamesBoxArt folder, open the folder #-#-#-#-#>PlayTasks>0 right-click in the game icon and go to properties, replace the .exe for .bat at the end of the target pathorIn Start Menu: Go to All Programs>Diablo> right-click in the game icon and go to properties, replace the .exe for .bat at the end of the target path
SAVE AS whatever you want - just change it to save as all files on the save as tab and end your file name with .bat (ex diablofix.bat). Move this file into the diablo path folder. Then create a shortcut for the file on the desktop. You should be good to go!. (As extra ammo I downloaded a registry fix and run it while on Windows 7 basic (you can change to this by right clicking on desktop - personalize - windows 7 basic is at bottom).REG fix - -or-washed-out-colors-windows-7
Diablo 2 has seen a lot of bugged items throughout the 20 years of its existence but the vast majority of them came into existence on closed battle.net during a relatively short period of time. Specifically between 29th of June 2001 and 28th of October 2003. The former date marks the 1.08 patch and the latter the 1.10 patch. During this time period you had 08 uniques, Iths, Whites, Zod Bugged Eths, Mephisto Fused Uniques, Uploads/Imports, Hybrid Runewords, and a host of other nominally bugged D2 items. After their initial inception, all of these items were of course duped and the few that survived beyond the 1.10 patch and any subsequent purges were further duped leaving any perm ones vastly outnumbered by unperms.
In this article we will attempt to go through the whole lot of them and provide as accurate information as possible. Needless to say, all these bugged items are on non ladder mode so we will omit this information in the realm specification for each item.
These items were all theoretically possible to obtain through normal play at some point in time and, while not bugged or hacked in terms of stats, they were massively duped by many different people on many different occasions. It is even speculated that some of the original ones were imported from open battle.net and that they managed to stay under Blizzard's radar thanks to their legitimate stats. Pretty much all in existence today are dupes but not all of them are unperm. The reason for this is that some were duped before Diablo 2 items were given unique id numbers in patch 1.10. Unfortunately, you can not tell the difference until it goes poof.
Many great "pre 07 patch" classic D2 rares were duped and transferred to expansion with presently impossible stats such as 20fhr boots, 20fcr amulets, 15 all resistances / 50 specific resistance rings, -40% lower requirements etc. Below are listed the most iconic ones of these.
These uniques originally dropped with far better stats than today. Fortunately, the nerfing applied in various patches did not affect already dropped items and thanks to duping some of them remain with us to this day
Description: This belt went under the name Nosferatu's Coil up until patch 1.10 when all in existence on CBN realms were renamed to Siggard's Stealth and a new Nosferatu's Coil with inferior stats started dropping in its place.
Description: Before the 1.10 patch small charms could have the Pestilent prefix that combined with the Anthrax suffix gave a whooping 451 posion damage over 12 seconds. To be compared with Toxic Small Charm of Anthrax that weights in at only 313 poison damage over 11 seconds.
Prior to April/May 2002 hackers were able to get players from open battle.net into bugged games on closed battle.net. The open character could come in to game, drop the item, and leave without detection. The exploit was sealed after Blizzard was tipped off but it was not until 6 months later in early 2003 that it came to Blizzard's attention that open items had been transferred to closed battle.net. Subsequently most but not all of them were deleted. Most if not all of these items would have been transferred during v1.09.
Description: This is a ring with the stats of the unique orb The Oculus Swirling Crystal with the notable exception that the USWest version of the ring had faster cast rate and strength while the USEast version had faster block rate and energy. Something that conclusively proves that the ring was transferred from open bnet rather than being created through the Mephisto fusing bug as has been touted by ignorant people.
The Mephisto loot table was, and perhaps still is, bugged and in the rare event that 2 unique items dropped at the same time they would sometimes fuse so that the final item had the stats and name of one and equipment slot of the other
In addition to improving storage space players can easily move items from their inventory, stash or cube with a single control left click. Players can drop items on the floor in the same fashion with a control right click. This makes transferring items a breeze!

Okay so we admit there may have been some good features post v1.09 and this is one of them... Players may now find Essences of Anguish, Pain, Hatred & Terror which can be combined to make a Token of Absolution!
With an effort to preserve the more old school feel of the
game players from both Classic and Expansion can
experience a blast from the past and find the old godlies
from former versions of the game! We have added every unique expansion item from version 1.08 as well as former previous patch unqiues from Classic.
We haven't just stopped there! Players may also find
goldly rare items utilising old school classic item
modifiers! Ever wanted to find those legit Strength and Dexterity boots? Go right ahead...!
