But… why? Like I’m all for getting retro games working again when they dont, but why back port a game like this to an old console? I don’t get it

Because its a challenge for the developer and therefore fun.

Spoiler, it didn’t run on the test itself. It ran on hardware shoved inside the test shell if I recall right.

Yes, definitely!
It’s like making doom run on a pregnancy test.
Wasn’t that just getting it to display on a tiny screen? The pregnancy test itself didn’t have suitable hardware, or even a suitable screen, as far as I can recall

It’s like kissing that ugly girl in a party nobody wants to partake with – it’s useless and completely unnecessary… but oh boy it sure is fun!

Looks like the Dreamcast isn’t just a dream anymore.

The mouse controls must be atrocious on a console

Maybe it’ll make use of the official Sega Dreamcast mouse?

I never played it, but Diablo was officially ported to the original PlayStation

I’ve played Devilution X on my Anbernic handheld and it was serviceable enough, I got to like level 17 before I ran out of steam on my rogue.

Are they using the windows CE method to make the game run?
That would be how I’d try to do it.
