Can I use the ARM64_CHPE_x86 builds for a x86 game? I tried usind these .dlls in NFS Porsche and it didn't start. These builds are for a ARM CPU only? I have Ryzen 7 9700X.

Arm is for arm cpu only, yes, 🤣. You need files from x86 folder.

Yes, but only on ARM cpu's.

A little WIP:

=========================
WIP97
=========================

Changes compared to v2.85

• Fixing clipping with user clipplanes for FF transformed vertices in D3D/8/9 (Monkey Island 4 shadows)
• Implementing the equivalent of software vertex processing along with model space lighting in D3D (B5, House of The Dead 2, ...)
• Adding option DirectX\DisableD3DTnLDevice to disable the T&L device with hw vertex processing
• Fixing a DDraw flip attach crash (DirectShow video playback in MotoRacer 3)
• Fixing a DDraw allocate crash (Hostile Waters - Antaeus Rising)
• Debug layer fixes, like a D3D crash, a false positive message, and other cosmetics

I release the current state because I won't have time for dgVoodoo in the near future:

SurRender is a Wizardry 8 engine, i presume? But what in the world is Pornstars 🤣, is this some obscure 3dfx adult game?!

It seems to have the same engine as SurRender, with various backend renderers (Glide2/3/DX/OGL).

I can't fix problems quickly, so I release a WIP for the pending fixes:

=========================
WIP98
=========================

• Fixing a bug in the ps DXBC code generator (Halo CE)
• Bringing back the old texture sampler behavior for the GF5700 virtual card
• Fixing a D3D11 API warning in the D3D11 backend
• Fixing frontend allocation alignment problems (Warhammer 40000 Space Marine)
• Fixing a thing related to depth bias in the DX backends
• Some refactoring of D3D8/9 CopyRects/UpdateSurface and improving the debug layer
• Fixing a problem related to D3D8/9 surface formats (Sponge Bob - The Movie Russian version)

Dege,
Just wondering if you might like to take a look at Mechwarrrior2 and see if there's anything you think might be fixable on your end.
To be clear, it works, but it sometimes shows objects through others, and occasionally the graphics are screwy on mission start.

Installer which works fairly well but is stretched by default: Re: A comprehensive guide to install and play MechWarrior 2 on new versions on Windows.
dxwnd/dgvoodoo config for 4:3 resolution which occasionally glitches: Re: A comprehensive guide to install and play MechWarrior 2 on new versions on Windows.

I played MW2 Titanium Mercenaries, specifically (since there are ~40 variants:
CD label: TITAN_MERCS
product.ini-productid: TITMERW95
product.ini-productname: Mercenaries Titanium Edition

Again, it mostly works, and I have only had it obviously fail at the start of a mission which is easily solved by loading from save.

Cheers for any insights!

Dege
Once you have time, can you please experiment into making WinG32.dll/WinG supported API games work with dgvoodoo2? just for the sake of making Warhammer: shadow of the horned rat work without forced 640x480 fullscreen? the dxwnd solution became quite outdated after the GoG preservation update.
In fact kinda want BEEN_Nath_58 to help you with this too since verok managed to make his own take for HOMM 1-2 and the source code was preserved at the archive website for safety.

Also, no problems with Warhammer Dark Omen yet.

Hi, can you explain a bit about the GoG preservation update, as to what changes you faced?
