Slashdiablo launcher

About the project

Slashdiablo launcher is a cross platform game launcher for Diablo II and specifically the Slashdiablo community.

• Allows for multiple installs of Diablo II with different settings (such as Maphack & HD)
• Automatically installs and updates Maphack & HD mod
