Hi, I've been working on DirectX 9 over the past week
and have managed to get Sid Meier's Pirates! http://www.atari.com/pirates/pirates/index.php working better than it does for me under cedega
(see
screenshot attached) along with quite a few demos using Directx 9.
Wow, cool! How well does this game actually work for you, does it need much messing about to make it run properly? Does it install correctly etc?
It'd be really great if we could get this game running perfectly out-the-box even if it's only for a little while :)
thanks -mike
I'm getting memory allocation problems after quite a bit of game play, no videos yet, I haven't tried installing and I always use no-cd patches.
The speeds a bit choppy, but playable, and there are a few minor graphics gliches (I've got a test case for one so it shouldn't be too hard to fix) I would rather have slow gameplay than buggy gameplay.
Out of the box installs require a bit more than DirectX but hopefully the OLE and MSI work that's been going on lately should help that out.
I'm also thinking working on half-life 2 and possibly WoW and Sim 2 as some point, but I may just try to get the DirectX 9 implementation as complete as possible first. [unless the makers of Sim 2 give me enough money to pay the rent!]
