It says

Processor Type Unsupported by DirectX.

and that I need a Pentium or K6 class processor or higher.

So, any ideas on how to bypass this check?

I suspect your problem is around this area. What does Vortex86DX return for GetSystemInfo?

@bakemono

I'm not sure, how do I check for what it's returning?

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
