I am trying Cedega right now, and despite Diablo II being fully supported by
TransGaming, I can't get it to run under Cedega either. I've submitted a
support request, but haven't received a reply yet.

Interestingly enough, with Wine the Diablo II installer worked fine, but
with Cedega I had to make a few system tweaks to get it to work.
