[quote]For everyone using a later version of Windows like Vista or Windows 7 they will probably never get to enjoy the awesomeness that was Wing Commander…until now. [Jari Komppa] has managed to use DirectDraw to his advantage and hack out a solution to this disappointing problem. He used DirectX to do this and has even managed to get OpenGL to load from a DLL after a few problems with Windows XP and Windows 7. This is truly a step forward in retro gaming. No more should we have to load a virtual machine to play Starcraft. Hopefully getting this ported to even older games such as Sim Farm or Commander Keen are on the way![/quote]
Passo avanti [b]enorme[/b] nel campo del retrogaming e dell’abandonware.
Questa DLL permette infatti di far girare vecchi giochi come Starcraft, Wing Commander (1-2-3-4), Warcraft 2 e Fallout (1-2) sui sistemi operativi più recenti come Windows 7 e Vista, migliorandone addirittura la resa grafica in alcuni casi (vedi spoiler).
Quando ho un minuto (e trovo una macchina con Win7) voglio provare a far girare Worms World Party che mi dava gli stessi problemi grafici che ho visto nel tutorial…
