I have been trying forever to get Diablo 1 Belzebub working on Windows 10 and now I have finally found something that might work but I am unsure how to do this step of the process:
------------------------------------------------------
Open up notepad, and type the following batch code into the editor:
start /affinity 1 Diablo.exe
(OR, if you are running a mod, or hellfire)
start /affinity 1 (name-of-modded-executable.exe)
Save the file to your C:\Diablo directory(or wherever you installed it), and if you want to, make a shortcut to it on your desktop.
----------------------------------------------------
If anyone can explain this to me or provide a better method for fixing Diablo 1 crashing after I make a character, I would very much appeciate it. Thanks!

It refers to a batch file which is just a notepad file with extension changed to .bat, meaning it will run the code inside the text file when double clicked.
You can either make a new notepad file and change the extension, or you can open notepad and save as with a custom typed extension .bat with save as type set to All Files.

Are you the one posting on Awaken forum? If so, know that Awaken and Belzebub are 2 different mods it's just that both are hosted on same forum, Noktis is the modder for Awaken and he did respond for his mod since you asked in his forum section, it is correct what he said and what you wrote above but i believe you are not trying to run his mod and instead i see that you may want Belzebub (code name for latest HD remake of D1), so get this http://diablo1.ovh.org/hd/?download and copy the diablodat.mpq from a D1 original cd to any folder (game is portable so c:/games or wherever you keep your games), preferably not Program Files or anywhere windowns won't let you modify files (mainly save since it sets files to read only but whatever) And just run the game with Belzebub.exe it works perfectly on win 10 if you have the system requirements from the bottom of this page http://diablo1.ovh.org/hd/?features
PS: It may not work with some graphics cards, those that don't support OpenGL which Belzebub uses to work on modern systems, but you can google and see if yours does or doesn't, and stop trying if it just doesn't support OpenGL.

YES!!!!!! It FACKING worked! Three whole days of screwing with this and that was the solution! This little tutorial should probably be posted in the installation guide for this mod if possible so this can be spread.
