Hello VOGONS members!
I have a question regarding backwards compatibility in DirectX. I had originally thought that DX7 supported all previous DX versions, DX8 support only DX6 and above, and that DX9 support only DX7 and above (don't ask where I got that idea 😀 ), but another VOGONS member pointed out that DX8 and 9 had no such limitations. Hence my question: do all DX versions up to DX9 support all DX versions before them, or is there a point where support for previous versions of DX was cut or limitations were imposed on support for previous versions?
To clarify, I am only referring to DirectX versions up to 9, and only DirectX under Windows 98 SE, not XP.
Thanks!
