Hi i have found Nvidia SDK programs and demos, i can install it in wine and some D3D demos can even run, but almost all are someway broken, in Nvidia SDK there are even source codes for those demos, what about start improving Direct3D in wine with help of this demos? It should be easy to track what is wrong and what is right.
Indeed, such small demos are pretty helpful for developing new features, and it is comparably easy to fix bugs that such demo apps bring up. Demos we use include the sdk demos from the DirectX SDK, and small demo apps from 3D developer comunity sites.
Unfortunately it often does not avoid the need of debugging the real games, as every app exhibits different bugs. There is a chance that fixing a demo app fixes a game, but unfortunately it never occured to me :-(
