API support

General settings.
General settings.
The following graphics API libraries are implemented[1]
  1. Glide 2.11, Glide 2.45, Glide 3.1 and Glide 3.1 Napalm
  2. DirectX 1-7 (all versions of DirectDraw and Direct3D up to version 7)
  3. Direct3D 8.1
  4. Direct3D 9 (as of version 2.6)

Essential improvements

Fixes compatibility issues and broken graphics when running old games on modern systems.
Removes old DirectX resolution limit (2048x2048).
Renders games in 32-bit color depth.
Can be used to force vSync, anti-aliasing (MSAA) and anisotropic filtering in games that originally didn't support it.
Supports integer scaling.
By forcing higher resolution through dgVoodoo 2 (instead setting it in game) the HUD and user interface in 3D games will not be small on modern high resolution displays (not all games will work correctly this way).
Enables third party tools like ReShade to add various post-processing effects to old games.
