A DLL wrapper that fixes compatibility issues with older DirectX games running on Windows 10/11 by translating legacy DirectDraw/Direct3D calls to modern APIs. It also acts as an ASI loader, allowing custom plugin DLLs to be injected into game processes.

Use cases

  • run old directx games on windows 10/11
  • fix fullscreen issues in legacy games
  • convert directdraw games to direct3d 9
  • unlock 4k resolution in old games
  • force windowed mode in fullscreen-only games
  • load asi plugins into game processes
  • fix broken textures and rendering bugs in old games

When to choose

  • you have an older game that crashes or renders incorrectly on modern Windows
  • you need to translate DirectDraw or Direct3D 8 calls to Direct3D 9
  • you want to force windowed mode, anti-aliasing, or higher resolutions in legacy games
  • you need an ASI loader to inject custom mods into a game

When to avoid

  • you are developing a modern game targeting current DirectX 11/12 APIs
  • you need a general-purpose graphics modding framework like ReShade
  • your game already runs fine on modern Windows
