Yes, of course, if you simply code the source and compile it so you can emulate the act 1 in your pc like diablo 2, then you can play.

Unfortunately, if you don't know the answer to that question you probably lack the skills to get it, then you will have to wait for the emulator update in the dev page like most of us, since diablo 2 was based on MPQ files and Diablo 3 is more like WoW it's harder to emulate. But be patient, wait for updates and help whoever you can, this way we will all be running the lastest updates and enjoying the game even before those who have a beta key!

To sum up, no you can't, but you can help in the development with your C# skills, you can also work in other atmospheres, like java, but they are behind in achievements, and the C# emulators are almost there.

Sorry to go off-topic, but I keep wondering - why C#? Why not C++ or Java or .net? Does C# have some edge when it comes to cracking/hacking?

I make everything what write in this manual the server start normal but when start diablo with parameters the login button stay shadowed not active

Heres a video that was posted recently for the on screen weapon effects.

Have you guys released a compiled version this latest fix? When I go in to that Character Select screen and try to change my hero to another one that I have made, it says i cannot select an invalid hero. Even though it shows the hero in the characters list. Probably a known problem... but just thought I'd put it out there. still get the 3006 Error. but other than that I'm able to check out the characters, even in 3D with my Alienware m17xr3 laptop. Everything is looking pretty cool with the exception of the low quality video animations they include of the characters using their abilities.

i only downloaded the source files from the repo and compiled them myself using MS Visual C# Express which is just a 114mb download

they commit changes pretty often so you can just download the files, compile them and see what's new

I'm not much for programming so don't have a use for downloading MS Visual C# and it would just act as bloatware to me. I'd rather not take up precious space on my SSD for it when if possible I could get a latest rev from someone else that has compiled it. These days they have automatic online compilers as well. just look at the ps2 emulator http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/ @ and psp emulator @ http://buildbot.orphis.net/jpcsp/
It would be cool if the emulator for this had automatic builds of latest revs online. Anyways, I was just askin'. Obviously it's not extremely important since in-game hasn't been achieved yet.

Even though I agree that downlading an extra of 100Mb when you can wait for a full release is a waste of space, I don't think that those 100Mb would hurt your SSD, when you possibly have ½Tb max. cap. or more.
However, I wouldn't download any more crap to play a game that isn't even in a public beta phase, specially since we won't be able to taste the game, and specially because I reinstalled Windows yesterday. Anyway, what I mean is: download the sources if you can test them, I'm also afraid that I wouldn't be able to play even through the login screen, which is what happened with the last version in XP.

Off topic: I've heard bad comments about SSDs nowadays, specially about their lack of compatibility, their low memory capacity, and even about some of them becoming stuck. But I'm pretty interested in them and must buy a new computer for work, so please DangerMouse, if you would tell me about your experience it could be awesome (because you talk from personal experience, not information from magazines or a third person), this, of course, isn't only related to work, but also to play games, like Diablo 3. Thanks anyway
