Diablo for Playstation

I am trying to obtain a copy of Diablo for the psone. The prices on ebay are out of my price range. Is there anyone who has a copy that they are willing to sell at a $20 price range? Or perhaps trade? I have tons of PC rpg's as well as numerous ps2 rpg's. If someone has it and is willing send me a pm of a wishlist and I will tell you if I have the game or games you are looking for. Thanks.

I took a look on Goozex and there is a large waiting line with no supply. I think this is one of those rare things …

Yeah it's rare. But the prices on ebay are a bit inflated in my opinion. Most of the auctions ended at around 25 bucks. Most of the buy it nows dont get sold. I offered one person 25 . They had a buy it now of 40. They declined. Oh well. Its their game they can do what they want.
I understand you can install it on your psp. That is what I am looking to do with it. If anyone has done that and can tell me how to do it I would appreciate it.

To do that you need to crack the firmware, voiding warranty and violating Sony's EULA. In other words, it is an 'out of bounds' discussion not for the forums.

I didn't even know that a Diablo PS1 port existed. After looking into it, I'm not sure why anyone would want it that badly. It appears to be nearly identicle to the PC version, but without multiplayer.

It had multi-player - on the same screen no less! I had a lot of fun with a friend who bought it.

Not certain how many players could play at once (e.g. if it was compatible with that multi-tap thingy) or if you could network it with another PSX.

The problem with playing on the same screen was that it wasn't split-screen, and it was all too easy to get one of you on the other side of a wall. Then you'd have to back track to get together again as otherwise you'd be stuck (a la the original Gauntlet games).

maybe for the same reason I'm trying to track down a new KOTOR II for XBOX - I want to recline on my couch and play it!

The game is ridiculously expensive (who knew?? geez) when I do find a copy, and I'm not paying $30+ for some used thing. I just seemingly tracked down a new one on amazon for 23 bucks out the door, but it was w/ a freshly launched seller who hasnt contacted me at all, and unfortunately has this up for sale. Not too encouraging.

At least Amazon will refund me if the deal goes south, that's why i took the chance in the first place, had some luck w/ the too-good-to-be-true prices before

What I meant was that there's no online play, just the 2 player co-op that requires you to both be using the same system.

Considering how long KotOR II has been out, that doesn't surprise me at all. You're probably not gonna find a factory sealed copy for cheap.

*Edit* Surprisingly, you can still get the PC version brand new for $29.95 on Ebay.

I did not realize I had to "crack" anything. I have no desire to "crack" anything on my psp. I am glad I found this out. All my searches for "Diablo psone" found tons of torrents. I did not look carefully enough at what had to be done. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I took the $25 I had put aside and bought "Gothic Universe" and "Kings Bounty" off ebay instead. Theres quite a few gaming hours ahead of me.

Gothic Universe and King's Bounty vs Diablo on the PS1…. hmmm.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you might have made the better choice.

People who like the couch should consider connecting the PC to the TV.

the fine details like text tend to get all blurry when I do that, I think my television is substandard

At one time I went to great lengths to find this title, mainly for the reason of being able to play it on my TV in the living room. I got it off eBay. I played it for a few minutes before putting it away. In every way it was inferior to the PC version so much that I found it unplayable.

YMMV, but I would not recommend going to a lot of trouble finding the PS version.

edit: I missed the post stating the OP bought some alternatives. Should you find yourself wanting Diablo again, keep my comments in mind. The PS version is just bad.

I loved the demo of Kings Bounty, and I have never played Gothic, so I should get quite a bit of mileage out of it. A lot more than with Diablo, thats for sure.

I'm actually going to try that this weekend.

King's Bounty is really something special. I'm personally not a huge fan of turn-based strategy games, but KB blew me away. It might be the best game I played all last year.

There's not much to say about Gothic, other than it's one of the best RPGs to ever grace a PC.

Well, that in itself says quite a lot … and I agree wholeheartedly!

It's a shame that the idea of connecting PC to TV haven't received as much attention. My PC is placed 1m from the TV, so to me it's natural. There are a couple of games I played this way, unfortunate most PC games doesn't work well with gamepads. I have a bluetooth keyboard with built in mice and a couple of wireless controllers. As long as games are capable of widescreen resolution, they feel like playing on a traditional console, but with full 1080p resolution with all gee-whizz stuff like AA and QA.

Imagine that you had a tiny box with a pricetag of around $100 that could be connected to the TV. The box would act as a satellite, that connects to your stationary PC through the network. The box do two things; stream the video output from the stationary, and capture (and send back) signals from bluetooth devices, such as gaming controllers, a keyboard and a mouse. Imagine you could even get an easy to control interface that can launch games and applications like videoplaying software and games.

I have seen D1 a few times on flea markets here … But I don't think you'd want to play a German-language version of it, no ?
