Title: WineD3D Post by: Ghabry on August 22, 2009, 01:08:11 PM Found something interesting.
It's called WineD3D (http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/). That's the Wine implementation of DirectX (DirectX to OpenGL Wrapper). The interesting thing is that it supports the real windows too. Does anybody want to risk overwritting his directx/directdraw lower then version 8 (is an option in the installer) with the wine implementation? I tested it under win98 and it didn't worked because it has no ntdll.dll (winNT and higher only). I can test it during the next days because I will install Windows 7 and so it's no problem when I crash my Vista System before :). To install it you have to run windows in save mode (smashing F8 after BIOS Post ;)). After installation test the following things: 1. Does DO start? 2. Does 3D-Mode work (without flicker)? 3. Does ALT+Tab under Vista work (uninstall DoFix via Control Panel->Programs and Funktions before)? Oh and it has the side effect that DX10 will work under XP. |
