That gives better compatibility and less complicated source code.added Fake Version feature: now Dungeon Keeper II (original version, not GOG hack) can detect a fake Win2000 / WinXP environment on Win7 and newer. Tested and working on Win7. Many thanks to Maxim for pushing me hard to win my lazyness and implement this new feature.v2.02.09:Fixed some x,y window coordinates bugsFixed some proxy log messages (missing \n line terminator)Fixed Trace "DirectX" flag.improved GetDC handling in 8BPP palette mode: AddPalette called on demand, and on any surface (including backbuffers): makes Emergency work with no "Handle DC" flag set. Beware: this may affect the "Map GDI HDC on Primary DC" flag causing surface locks.Fixed limit FPS timing issues: now the max possible FPS is 1000/delay.Fixed EndPaint bug causing HDC lock in "Map GDI HDC to Primary DC" mode.v2.02.10:Added "Full RECT Blit" mode: may be useful to handle problematic situations (e.g. "Urban Assault" intro movies)Fixed ClientToScreen and ScreenToClient hookers to properly handle scaled windows.

Now most games can work both in emulated and direct mode.Fixed surface capabilities for "Vangers", "The Sims" (now working in emulated mode again)Updated "Fixed aspect ratio" option: now uses the x,y size declared in the configuration instead of the fixed 800 x 600 standard one.Added virtual fullscreen "Desktop" mode.Completely revised the Peek/GetMessage handling: now it uses the standard SetWindowHook API instead of the address redirection, making the handling more reliable and accurate: now "Age of Empires III" works at last!GUI:Added virtual fullscreen "Desktop" mode.Added "Fix buffered IO after Win98" flag: this is meant to fix an incompatibility in the ReadFile kernel32 API that must read from block boundaries, where a block was smaller up to Win98 and bigger after it.As a result, games like "Dylan Dog Horror Luna Park" show IO errors while reading data from the CD. Unfortunately, this is not the only problem of this game, so Dylan Dog fans will have to wait further.Maybe some other programs suffer of this problem, and I will strongly appreciate if anyone finds some.v2.02.35fixed BACKBUFFER surface attributes in direct (not emulated) mode: Rayman 2 playable againadded FILTERMESSAGES flag ("filter offending messages") to eliminate some problems to games not developed to work windowized (Rayman 2, Mirror's Edge ...)fixed bug crashing the program when "keep aspect ratio" is selected with window size set to 0v2.02.36hooked GetAttachedSurface to non-PRIMARY surface to track ZBUFFER attach to BACKBUFFER.

This flag is introduced to manage games such as "Heart of Iron 2" that start intro movie by means of a separate process. HoI2 is starting the binkplay.exe program in the game's avi subfolder. This way you don't get a windowed movie, but completely suppress it.v2.02.42added hook to kernel32.dll QueryPerformanceCounter API to enable time stretching to Rayman 2handled GetAttachedSurface emulation for FLIP capability on primary surface - that makes the intro movies of Empire Earth visible.Some code cleaningCleared invisible debug flags ...v2.02.43Several changes for Empire Earth:fix: restore 16BPP color mode after directdraw session terminationfix: recovered window destructionfix: proper handling of MIPMAP and LOCALVIDMEM surfaces fix: color depth handling - now when the program terminates the desktop is brought to the original color depthv2.02.44Improved debug logging for all palette operationsfixed a bugged log causing the crash of Empire Earth in debug modeadded show time stretching flag - preliminary version.

Despite the fact that the best way to run a 32BPP game is against a 32BPP desktop, now it is possible to downgrade 32BPP colors to 16BPP. This fixed the fact that 32BPP games run on a 16BPP desktop showed simply black screens (e.g. Baldur's Gate II)fixed logic for EnumDisplayModes implementation: now screen resolutions and, for emulated mode only, also color depth, are generated by DxWnd and not derived directly from the real ones. This make it possible to fake support for very low screen resolutions (e.g. 320x200) on modern screens that support them no longer. This make "Genocide" running on both supported resolutions 320x200 and 320x240.v2.02.68added screen resolution choice: either a set of SVGA resolutions (mostly for 3:4 monitors), HDTV resolutions (mostly for 16:9 monitors) or the native set of resolutions offered by your monitor / video card.v2.02.69improved exception catching to intercept memory violation exceptions and to neutralize offending code. Thank again to olly didasm lib, now the assembly instruction length is automatically determined so that the opcode can be replaced by the correct number of NOP instructions.

This option causes the get cursor position to detect a centered mouse position when the cursor is moved outside the window, allowing interaction with other windows without scrolling ot the windowed program. Mainly, this option is meant to help people with a physical disability to use other programs (e. g. the virtual keyboard) to play games.added "Launch" field (optional) to start the program with arguments or a separate taskv2.02.72fix: fixed Launch field used with "Use DLL injection" flagfix: somehow improved "Use DLL injection" to avoid blocked tasks and allow exception handlingv2.02.73Add: preliminary support for (unchecked) "Run in window" flag.

For instance, they no longer slow cursor sprite.v2.02.93fix: handling of primary / backbuffer surfaces when DDSCAPS_3DDEVICE is set (es. Fifa 99 in Direct3D mode)v2.02.94fix: handling of "Keep aspect ratio" for aspect ratios different from 4:3fix: missing resolution 400x300 in "Limit resolution" handlingfix: surface handling switch in automatic mode. added two flags for DDSCAPS_SYSTEMMEMORY handling on different contexts. Added extra performances and compatibility with D3D in emulated mode.added "Updated bigger than 1/4 screen size" flag, to perform FPS counting or limitations upon substantial screen updated (heuristic: bigger than 1/4 of the total size...)added true bilinear filter.
