thanks, maybe you can do the same for d3d8 :)

actually, we are speaking about d3d architecture, but it will be possible to implement d3dim.dll (minors d3d calls) into near future using the "new" codebase. 
And d3d component (for version 3..7) is contained into ddraw.dll

I don't even know WHAT d3dim.dll is :-) What does it contain for API ?

I know about D3DRM.DLL (that won't be supported) for the 'retained mode' API
but I thought that all 'immediate mode' API was in ddraw.dll and not in a
separate library.

Why not first test with an empty DLL with just the version ressources in it
and see if it's enough ?
