what about the Direct X kit?

Hi,

    I don't see the gaming kit any more in the OA page.

    What happened to it? Dolphin 4.0 don't support it anymore?

Thanks..

Seb

We stopped selling the gaming kit in the middle of last year. This was
mainly due to an explosion in the complexity of DirectX which would mean a
greatly increased maintenance effort if we were to fully support all of the
new interfaces. Also, the sales of that particular add-on were rather
disappointing compared with the other Dolphin packages and as a result we
couldn't really justify the necessary development resources to improve it.

The DX code as it was for Dolphin 3.0 is available as open source (although
we haven't got around to writing the license yet) at:

http://www.object.arts.dial.pipex.com/Lib/Downloads/3.0/DirectXGaming.EXE

You'll need the code, 5998235, to install it. There may be a more up to date
version of the package that has been adapted for Dolphin 4.0 available from
one of our users. Anybody?
