The game is either not functional at all or unplayable. The game is functional but has some issues. Some games only support 3D rendering and won't work with this feature. Currently this only works with the 2D APIs.

making sure you are using the software rendering and not 3D rendering, if the game supports it.

Some older games require admin rights to function properly.

running the game with administrator rights.

This option tries to fix several common exceptions, such as the divide by zero exception in old games that were trying to calculate the CPU speed. Some older games cannot handle a large number of display mode options.

setting DdrawLimitDisplayModeCount to a value between 32 and 145.

The feature is built in dxwrapper and is called Dd7to9. The goal of this project is to fix compatibility issues with older games that use ddraw, as well allowing these games to use newer tools that require Direct3D 9 or higher. Over the past couple of years I have been working on creating a feature to be able to convert ddraw's DirectDraw/Direct3D to Direct3D 9 (d3d9).
