But you still need the DIABDAT.MPQ file from the original game.

You don't "need" it defaults to the shareware version if you don't provide the MPQ. I will say though that the original Diablo discs are archived on archive.org...

it defaults to the shareware version

but talking to Farnham is not available in the shareware version.
What if I want to talk to Farnham? Maybe I had a rough week and just need someone to talk to. Farnham seems pretty chill.

Download the archive... open the ISO... bam?

(Note: Don't torrent the archive... Apparently someone is dmca trolling that torrent. The fuck rights to a 30 year old game do they think they can enforce when you can't even fucking buy it.)
