Different programs can log operation on Windows NT now. However I don't know of any solution, specifically to log wave operations a program performs. Is there a program that can do that on Windows 98?

I haven't downloaded it yet but I wish you success for it. Rendition is one of the cards for which I always wanted to see a wrapper, albeit having a very small application base. When I try, is there any particular app that should run?

The game renders perfectly on Windows 7. On Windows 10 and Windows 11, under Direct3D8 mode (set graphics quality to Best), the game renders like this: https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?mode=view&id=157822 Till now, only DxWnd fixes this with its setting: Emulate 16bpp D3D8 backbuffer. …

GTX 960 should suffice to run majority of the games of the era. They will run on highest settings until you are talking about Crysis. You can also expect to see issues with the oldest games. In that case, using something like DxWnd or DXGL or DDrawCompat can be tried.

Try running on Windows XP compatibility modes. This is a known issue, but nobody ever documented why it happens. I assume it's some Compatibility Layer conflicting, so you better use the XP compatibility mode.

I keep my old machine for tasks that take longer hours, since it consumes less electricity from the wall. Have been doing that for a lot of time, and continuing it. Since Edge stopped supporting Windows 7 officially, I decided it's time to take the machine to Win10 as a last upgrade with an SSD. …

The developer mentions that One Core API would run Assassin's Creed 4 as well as Crysis 3. Aren't they 64-bit binaries? Well that's something I wouldn't believe till I test. Since my WinXP machine is inadequate for these games, could someone verify if it's really possible?

WGL and GDI are pretty closely connected (if it isn't even that the former depends altogether on the later) . Of course anything opengl related would load it (well for the moment at least, I could lowbrow see nvidia's recent DXGI presentation further evolving to spare us it). As for EmulateOpenGL …
