The WineD3DOnWindows project appears to be dead, so I decided to build WineD3D on MS Windows myself and release the binaries. I hereby swear to keep this project updated until the day of my death. Or until it will no longer be possible to cross-compile it. ==What is it good for?== WineD3D for Windows can be very useful to get old games to work properly on newer systems, especially Windows 8 and newer since they lack 16 bit screen modes. Instructions are included. ==System requirements== Microsoft Windows XP or newer (x86 o x64); Windows RT is not supported OpenGL compatible video card and driver ==Limitations== WineD3D is far from perfect, and many games will not work. Also, keep in mind that sometimes you must be a bit creative to get old games to work. PCGamingWiki is a pretty good source of information. ==Source code?== There's no source code, I just downloaded Wine via git and cross-compiled the DLLs using mingw32 on Debian for x86.
