Between moving I've managed to get a lot more DirectX 9 work done, Roller Coster Tycoon, Warhammer 40K, Tenage Mutat Ninja Turtles and The Increadables are now the same under WINE as Windows. Evil Genius, Kohan 2 and Axis and Allies have a few graphics problems but are still playable and Colin McRea Rally 2004 now plays ok, but there are lot of graphics issues. I expect Settlers Heritige of the King and Myst 4 will work but I haven't been able to test since I lost the demo disk.
has been update to compile Wine with the latest patchset. Download or re-download the dx9wine profile.
Tom Wickline has done some
litte benchmarks over the last couple of weeks with dx9wine.
Notice:
Before you put any merritt into any of the results we would highly recommend that you run the benchmark software yourself.
