What is it?

D2R Mobile is a compatibility layer that runs the Switch release of Diablo II: Resurrected with the Reign of the Warlock expansion on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The game's own aarch64 program executes directly on the device without an emulated CPU. Only the few instructions that cannot run unchanged under Apple's kernel are rewritten, and the platform services are provided by a small host written for Apple platforms. The graphics API is reimplemented on Metal, with shaders translated offline from the original game.

The project adds a complete touch control scheme, edge-to-edge iPhone and full-screen iPad display, controller support, and a power saver mode. It also includes endgame content not in the original game, such as the Greater Rift, Endgame Boss Rush, an Elysium mode, a Kill Board and an extended stash. A native macOS build for Apple silicon is included, and a community Apple TV 4K port is in developer preview.

The repository contains no game files. Users must own the game and supply their own files, which the tools convert on their own machine. The project is fully offline with no multiplayer.
