Windows 98 Direct X Version Installation Recommendation

[JaKSLaP]

Hey Guys;

 

Does anyone know which is the recommended version of DX to install for Windows 98 SE.

 

Installing DX 9.0x will that include all previous version or do i have to install each version one by one. 

 

Thanks

DirectX 9.0c will be the only version you'll need, or can install actually. You can't go backwards since the installers will tell you there is a newer version available. And if you go from old to new, the installers will just overwrite the old version. USP3 from Problemchyld also includes a version of DirectX 9.0c in it which I think might be the gaming version but I wouldn't say for sure.

I'll venture to say that the DX9 is *the* latest-greatest, having all available Updates included.

IIRC, there are versions later than DX9c that should work with KernelEx.

Later versions tend to have one or two files with post-9x dependencies. Kex should be able to fix them, or we could create a USP with just the updated files that don't need patching or help from Kex.
