I think D3D8 version is free (SwiftShader 2.01)

It seems that it is not true. And there is no source code of d3d7 and d3d8 versions of SwiftShader 🙁 It would be very useful for old games, I think. Especially for running in virtual machines. It would be nice to motivate Google to release the sorce of the d3d7 and d3d8 versions 😀

Wasn't source of those out a looooooong time ago before that other company bought them?

I believe you're thinking of swShader?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sw-shader/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sw-library/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/softwire/
We definitely have source for this from the time before TransGaming bought them in The Wrapper Collection, which we got from Sourceforge.
Despite what the Sourceforge page for swShader says, last known source _should_ be here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/sw-shader/files/OldFiles/

It seems that d3d8 version of the SwiftShader is coming =)

Guess Google isn't evil after all...well parts of it. 😀
It's goodevil.

The SwiftShader libraries act as drop-in replacements for graphics drivers.
On Windows, most applications can be made to use SwiftShader's DLLs by placing them in the same folder as the executable. On Linux, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or -rpath linker option can be used to direct applications to search for shared libraries in the indicated directory first.
Prebuilt binaries can be found at: https://goo.gl/5MOcdb
It seems the new implementation of SS by Google uses some kind of software D3D11 device.
Original SS (lastest version): the performance is practically the same
MS WARP comparison (same performance but heavy stuttering):
OK, self-compiled using VS 2015 + retargeting the solution to Win10SDK (default is Win81SDK). It's really straighforward and painless.
Same performance for D3D8 and D3D9 (28 FPS in Unreal flyby using D3D8 and D3D9 rendering path).

D3D8.dll compiled and working well (for a CPU wrapper 😁)
If you're interested here's the lastest LLVMPipe binaries build by MSYS2 project 😀
32 bit OpenGL32.dll -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/ … tar.xz/download
64 bit OpenGL32.dll -> https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/ … tar.xz/download
Just extract the DLL and drop it in the main-exe dir of your OpenGL application.

Could you upload it somewhere, so we can download it?
The D3D8 compiled DLL?
