dgVoodoo2 is a wrapper library that translates legacy Glide and DirectX graphics APIs (DirectDraw, D3D1-9) onto modern D3D11/12, letting old games run on current Windows. It also provides 64-bit and ARM64 API DLLs to help port old 32-bit games without rewriting rendering code.
Use cases
- play old Glide games on modern Windows
- run old DirectX 7/8/9 games on Windows 11
- force higher resolution and MSAA in retro games
- upscale low-resolution retro games with lanczos or bicubic filters
- port a 32-bit game to 64-bit or ARM64 without rewriting rendering code
- force windowed mode in old games
When to choose
- you need to run legacy Glide or DirectX games on modern Windows
- you are porting an old game to x64/ARM64 and want to keep the original rendering code
- you want to improve resolution, MSAA, or upscaling in retro games
When to avoid
- you play games on Linux, Wine, or Proton - explicitly unsupported
- you need a maintained project with active issue support - it is archived
- you need a graphics API translation layer for modern APIs like Vulkan or OpenGL
