This page is a stub: it lacks content and/or basic article components. You can help to expand this page by adding an image or additional information.

As APIs get older, their support may be eventually dropped. With time this can lead to numerous performance and display issues. To circumvent these and allow older games to be played normally, API wrappers are created. They are special libraries, that read instructions of older APIs and convert them to be displayed in up to date ones (like newer Direct3D, OpenGL or Vulkan).

3dfx / Glide wrappers

Name API versions Wrapping to
nGlide 1/2/3 D3D9, Vulkan
dgVoodoo 1/2/3 D3D7, D3D9
DgVoodoo 2 1/2/3 D3D11, D3D12

DirectDraw wrappers

Name API versions Wrapping to
Aqrit's DDwrapper ? ddraw
dgVoodoo 2 3/5/6/7 D3D11, D3D12
DxWrapper 1-7 ddraw7 (1-6), D3D9
