DXGL

I have opened Issue #52 to track this:
https://github.com/dxgldotorg/dxgl/issues/52

These fixes will be applied to the 0.5.x branch to allow for a quick release based on functional code, but will trickle down to the master and 0.6-dev branches to incorporate these fixes into future planned versions ...

OpenGL 2.0 to 1.x downgrade would require a complete rewrite; DXGL is written with a strict dependency on GLSL and multiple render targets.

Looking at what it takes, I found I could use an alternate code path involving GetModuleHandle and GetModuleInformation which is unsupported on Win9x but ...

I do not plan on supporting any graphics cards below OpenGL 2.0 because the architecture of those legacy cards is so much different than modern GPUs. Presumably MCD drivers will be OpenGL 1.x and thus unsupported. There is a runtime check for the OpenGL version when DXGL's ddraw.dll starts up.

There is no usage of .NET at this point. Also, DXGL only depends on OpenGL.

If I ever decide to support NT4 I will not depend on any OS-level hacks.

So far I have not attempted to test Windows NT 4, but I have managed to get it down to Windows 2000 so far with the VS2005 and VS2008 builds.
The DXGL Config app will launch on Windows 98, but as of the 0.5.x series the DXGL wrapper crashes upon initialization.

It seems that Visual Studio 2005 ...

Currently DXGL uses the Registry by default to store settings data.

Find the options at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DXGL\Profiles\<game.exe>-<directory hash>. Global options are found at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DXGL\Global.

In the Advanced tab you can write a .ini file to save a file dxgl.ini in ...

At this time I will no longer be signing installation packages or binaries.
