dgvoodoo and wined3d have no effects on the 1st age of wonders made in 1999, the pixel game?
why is it? what is so special about age of wonders?
what other emulators can i try on age of wonders?
Duplicated issue entry, see this:
[Solved] Age of Wonders 1 - Not using dgVoodoo's ddraw.dll
Apply Narzoul's reg file, that's the easiest and fanciest way to solve the problem.

i havent tried these registries, they looked like they might hurt my OS in an unknown way by doing these

but i will do it later when things are more prepared on my side.
right now, AoW works not terribly nor good, it works just about the same like it worked as if were in XP , it didnt take any benefit from a faster PC.
\Wow6432Node\ makes an OS dependent registry... i need to think about how to apply this in XP and Win8, Win10 .
