Installation

Download the latest binary release from the repository's Release page and unzip it to a folder.

Determine which .dll file is needed for the game. This depends on many factors which will be explained on page created later. Most commonly it is ddraw.dll, dsound.dll or winmm.dll.

Copy this .dll file from the 'Stub' folder plus the dxwrapper.dll and dxwrapper.ini files into the game's installation directory, next to the main executable file. For some games the main executable is in a subdirectory (like 'Bin', 'Exe' or 'App') so the files will need to be copied it into that directory. Overwriting of any existing game files is not recommended.

Open up the dxwrapper.ini file in a text editor and enable the settings needed for the game.

Do not attempt to overwrite any .dll in a Windows system directory as it is currently not supported and will not work.

Uninstallation

Delete the DxWrapper .dll and .ini files from the game's directory. You can also delete the log file, if there is one.

Configuration

To configure DxWrapper, edit the .ini file and enable the settings wanted. See the Configuration wiki for more details.

Sample configuration file: dxwrapper.ini.

List of all configuration options: allsettings.ini

Logging

The log file will be created in the same folder where the game executable is located. It will be named 'dxwrapper' with the name of the game executable appended to it. So if you are running the file game.exe then the log file will be called dxwrapper-game.log.

bcrypt.dll

cryptsp.dll
