i have seen that on github and i downloaded the appimage again and tested it out... they patched the belt dupe :(
it runs great but the one thing that made it crazy fun was the dupe
Yes i too enjoyed dropping the same item over and over dozens of times trying to pick it at the same time as grabbing an item off the belt. But i'm fairly sure there are still some 3rd party programs (which i wont name or link to) out there you could use to d00plicate items if you need. I found in my time on devilutionx d1/hellfire i didnt really miss the belt dupe, and i didnt use any other 3rd party progs along the way. A couple of pro tips if you decide to (re)play d1:
1.) Farm warlord of blood quest. Easy way to gain gold. New game in normal difficulty, you have a 50/50 chance of having the quest on lvl 13. Best if you use a sorcerer to teleport; as soon as you see stairs to lvl14 without the room with armor/weapon racks just make a new game. Kill the guy and collect the loots to sell for gold, save, repeat.
2.) Farm pepin. Pepin the healer sells elixers of strength/vitality/dexterity/magic so you can max your stats. Only 5k gold apiece.
3.) Farm griswold/wirt. NPCs items are based on the highest value of each item class you have equipped and/or in your inventory. Keep the highest value staff/shield/amulet/ring/armor/axe/maul/sword you get on your character and make new games to shop for even better items. Griswold will get you obsidian rings/amulets of the zodiac, wirt will get you godly plates of the whale.
I have a bunch of the best items on d1 single player, if you ask nicely i could probably export the items to a file and send them to you somehow. Lmk. Otherwise grind for them like i did and its honestly more fun than most modern games. Until you max out each char class and get all the uniques etc
