Converts DirectDraw & Direct3D to Direct3D9

• Conversion of DirectDraw 1-7 (ddraw.dll) to Direct3D 9 (d3d9.dll) using Dd7to9
• Conversion of Direct3D 1-7 (ddraw.dll) to Direct3D 9 (d3d9.dll) using Dd7to9

Check out the Compatible Games wiki and the Dd7to9 Supported Games wiki for a list.

1. Download the latest binary release from the repository's Release page and unzip it to a folder.
2. Copy ddraw.dll file 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 of any existing game files is not recommended.

Do not attempt to overwrite any .dll in a Windows system directory as it is currently not supported and will not work.

Delete the ddraw.dll and .ini files from the game's directory. You can also delete the log file, if there is one.

There is currently no configuration for this. Check out my other project dxwrapper for more options,

The log file will be created in the same folder where the game executable is located. It will be named 'draw' with the name of the game executable appended to it. So if you are running the file game.exe then the log file will be called dxwrapper-game.log.
