Does this mean DX1-10 are also supported? I've been struggling to play some DX3-7 games because of VirtualBox and VMware limitations and Win10+ backward compatibility gaps.
Article is quite long and technical, so it wasn't clear to me. That said, still great to hear Windows guests are getting some attention, especially from a long lived project that's proven it's not going anywhere.
- whatevergoesher 2mo agoYour options there are DOSBox-X, DOSBox Pure Unleashed, Winebox, WineD3D, DxWnd, DGVoodoo2 and my personal favourite, which is more in line with what you are talking about, SoftGPU. SoftGPU is a DX capable driver for Win9x that runs on VMware and VirtualBox.
- SXX 2mo agoDX3-7 is now well supported with D7VK (fork of DXVK). Likely such games will work better under Wine rather than modern Windows.

- Narishma 2mo agoIf the system requirements for those games are low and your host machine fast, your best bet is probably something like 86Box.
