Instructions:
- Download the dxwrapper.zip and unzip it to a folder.
- Determine which .dll file is needed for the game. This depends on many factors which will be explained on page created later. Most commonly it is
ddraw.dll,dsound.dllorwinmm.dll. - Copy this .dll file from the 'Stub' folder plus the
dxwrapper.dllanddxwrapper.inifiles into the game's installation directory, next to the main executable file. For some games the main executable is in a subdirectory (like 'Bin', 'Exe' or 'App') so the files will need to be copied it into that directory. Overwriting existing game files is not usually recommended. - Open up the
dxwrapper.inifile in a text editor and enable the settings needed for the game.
Note: Try the options under the [Compatibility] section first. For many games these are all that are needed. See the Configuration for details on the options.
