Attached a patch and binary for D2X, a source port of Descent 2. It seems to work in Win95 under emulation. Included in the archive is also the SDL library dependency, brief instructions on compiling, and a batch file to start D2X at full screen and with the mlook option from DXX-Rebirth. User takes responsibility for any testing of contents.

Requires full version of Descent 2.

Attached two versions of D2X which include patches and documentation within their respective archives. Used emulation to test binaries. User takes responsibility for any testing of contents.

D2X-6-10-11-mod-3 is an update of the version attached to the above posts. Includes menu bug fixes. This version is for 8-bit color depth and is tested in Windows 95.

D2X-Rebirth-Retro is from a team who developed a "Retro" branch of the D2X-Rebirth source port. Patched and tested in Windows 95. Its assembly routines are not working with the current code base. Requires 16-bit color depth. Slower performance than the above version, but has enhancements and is expected to run stable in Windows. A good reference to compare against the D2X-6-10-11-mod-3 binary.
