dgVoodoo est un glide wrapper mais aussi un wrapper DirectDraw/Direct3D (v1 à 7, 8.1 et 9) vers Direct3D11/12. Pour simplifier grandement, ça émule une carte 3DFX qui va pouvoir gérer la bibliothèque propriétaire Glide (Glide 2.11, Glide 2.45, Glide 3.1 et Napalm) mais également les vieilles cartes graphiques compatibles DD/D3D v1 à v9. Quel est l’intérêt ? Jouer aux anciens jeux qui fonctionnent mal sur les nouvelles cartes graphiques (parce qu’ils ont été optimisés pour le Glide ou de vieilles versions de DirectX et non pour d’autres API telles que OpenGL ou DirectX v11 ou v12) ou tout simplement utiliser un émulateur qui lui aussi utilise le Glide. Cette version est destiné à Windows Vista/7/8/10/11 avec DirectX 11 (ou supérieur) d’installé et vous devez posséder une carte graphique (compatible DirectX Level 10.1) supportant les Shaders Model v4 ou v5.
Vous aurez besoin de ces bibliothèques pour activer certaines fonctions graphiques.
A noter que des patchs pour certains jeux sont disponibles ici.
Les changements:
Frontend
– DD/D3D/8/9 objects consumes less memory and system resources
– Adding bounds checking into generated VS cpu code
– Improving API locking mechanism to avoid ‘window message deadlock’
– dgVoodoo won’t get into deadlock anymore with its own code in multithreaded window-message situations.
– However there are games (like TR4) that wait for DD/D3D without pumping the message queue, still causing
– deadlock/livelock. It cannot be resolved at wrapper side.
– Minor refactorings here and there
– Shared surface memory (Lock/GetDC) in DDraw and D3D9 where possible (better performance)
– Workarounding an invalid shader in D3D9 (Wall-E)
– Some changes in the capability of the GF9800 virtual card
DDraw changes
– Refactoring a lot of code to implement resource sharing to be compatible with MS DDraw (e.g. – flashing screen in Colin McRae Rally 2)
– Implementing a shortcoming in DD compression Blt (Europe 1400)
– Implementing DD surface duplicating
– Adding some new dbg layer error messages into DD Blt’ing
– More compatibility with MS DDraw
– YUV format support
D3D
– Implementing some missing validation in D3D Draw methods
– Fixing minor debug layer bugs
– Fixing a D3D7 vertex clipping incompatibility (Torte Le Magic)
– Fixing a D3D8/9 resource binding bug
– Fixing a thing in D3D execute buffers (shadow in Final Racing)
D3D11/12 backend
– Adding a new option DirectXExt\D3D12BoundsChecking (try it if you run into a GPU crash with D3D8/9)
– Fixing a surface readback bug (Virtua Fighter with forced resolution)
– Fixing some problems related to PS2/3 input registers declared as centroid (Insane 2 with ingame MSAA)
– Fixing a PS3 code generation problem (Borderlands with depth of field enabled)
– Fixing a regression bug in the blitter (Ephinea PSOBB, my own tests)
– Fixing a potential D3D12 deadlock problem (604)
– Adding a new addon callback to the API for creating custom D3D12 swapchains
– Fixing a 3D rendering bug in the D3D11/12 backends (SC Chaos Theory Versus Mode)
– Enabling flag DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_ALLOW_TEARING for FLIP presentation type swapchains if supported (windowed mode, fake fullscreen)
– Improving the synchronization of GPU/CPU access of poorly used D3D8/9 static buffers
