elishacloud/dxwrapper v1.2.7300.25

Release v1.2.7300.25

on GitHub

Instructions:

1. Download the dxwrapper.zip and unzip it to a folder.
2. Determine which stub .dll file is needed for the game. This depends on many factors which will be explained on page created later. Common stub dll's to use are ddraw.dll, d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll, dsound.dll or winmm.dll. You only need to choose one stub file to load dxwrapper into the game.
3. Copy this .dll file from the 'Stub' folder plus the dxwrapper.dll and dxwrapper.ini files 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 into that directory. Overwriting existing game files is not usually recommended. Always backup any files before overwriting them.
4. Open up the dxwrapper.ini file 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.
