Topic on Glossary talk:Graphics card
Yes, a good solution, but not the solution. Depending on which DLL we settle on, we'll eventually hit a point where either the graphics card or the OS is simply unsupported.
Again, for pre-DX8 games, dgVoodoo2 is the way to go for most games since it mainly relies on DX11's continued support and the author continuing to maintain the app. Just slap in the replacement DirectX DLLs, configure them as needed, then play the game. Really that simple for those ancient games! Even then, dgVoodoo2 is still a solution. A dang fine solution, but just one solution nonetheless.
