RJARRRPCGP Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) But the file is monstrous! That's about as big as an OS ISO!Also, if it supports Windows ME, then there's a chance of someone being able to make it work with Windows 98 SE!I dunno if Windows ME is that much different then Windows 98 SE.

Jlo555 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I'm downloading it now to test it out on win98se usp2.1a. I'll post the results sometime within the hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) But the file is monstrous! That's about as big as an OS ISO!There is also a new DirectX end user redist that's only 46 MB. There are the the D3DX9 files in it that were previously available only with the SDK or some third party software. Don't know if the other files have changed compared to DirectX 9.0c as it is still called DirectX 9.0c.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=enAlso, if it supports Windows ME, then there's a chance of someone being able to make it work with Windows 98 SE!That shouldn't be a problem. If it works on ME it should work on 98SE as well. Edited December 15, 2005 by eidenk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoNoise Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 (edited) Thats just the SDK... its not the actual DirectX 10Got it installed it, only certain protocols were updated to this "directx 10"... odd...

kartel Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Is the redistributable the same as the one you get when you validate? What does the validate do or leave on my computer ?I found the 9.0c that I get from my updates is better and different than the one from the download page.

LLXX Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I have an installer for DirectX 9.0c... it's 33.4Mb. If it's still called 9.0c then is this the same as the one I already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have an installer for DirectX 9.0c... it's 33.4Mb. If it's still called 9.0c then is this the same as the one I already have?There are some new files that get installed, D3DX9 files, as said above. The core DX runtime appears to be exactly the same as the previous release. DirectX.cab is bigger but it's just plenty of png images and maybe some other junk. It does install without probs on 98SE without tweaking anything to the installer as I have just tried in a virtual machine.PS : Latest release of Media Player Classic comes bundled with one of those D3DX9 files I think.

-I- Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 (edited) will i actualy work on 2000 - ow my dear god - how stange, sinse mainstream support has already ended LOL - and true it wont run on 9x windows, since it isn't an update to DX9 or older but its nearly a complete rebuilde, based on avalon subsystem, that is also why i can hardly believe that it would actualy work on 2000, since xp will have avalon(-like) suport from SP3 and up. sorry cant find the tech artical where i wread about it right now, Edited December 18, 2005 by -I- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisO Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 (edited) Get a grib guys, you don't want DX10 on older OSs (even if you could figure out how to force it) because:#1 you can't properly support the games that would require it anyway#2 it's NOT faster than previous DXs.DX10 is being created to pave the way for Vista and to add support for a totally new type of DX. One of the DX developers even said it might run DX9 (and older) games slower, but of course they're try to optimize it as much as they can.
