New WineD3D builds. Where can I find them?

Post by avada »

Hello!

I'm looking for never compiled version of Wine3d. Some old DirectDraw video games fail to run at proprer speed on windows 8. For example Using the dll-s from the old 2010 WineD3D from nongnu I can run Desperados at proper speed but there are some serious graphic corruptions. The HUD is all black for the most part.

So where can I find a more recent compile of the dll-s?

You might ask the maintainer of the nongnu wined3d distribution, see

Hi,

it seems that the WineD3D project has more or less been abandoned, the last build is from 2010. Maybe its maintainer can be persuaded to revive the project or maybe you can take it over. If not, there's a commercial solution for software D3D (DX9) which you could try, Swiftshader, though it's mostly about D3D software rendering. I'm not sure about its DirectDraw capabilities. And Swiftshader is a product of Transgaming, so it's not really liked here ;-)

Spoke too soon. It seems, the maintainer of wined3d updated the project at least to wine 1.4.1 today. That's really cool. I had been afraid of wined3d being another abandoned project.

It would be great to see WineD3D based on Wine 1.6
