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
