There's also dxwrapper that implements old DirectDraw/3D interfaces with newer D3D9 api for better compatibility with newer Windows versions: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper

  dgVoodoo 2 is also a nice tool for this - I've found compatibility can be better, and it also handles 3dfx Glide. http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/ http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2/
