Oleg_II Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 What are the XACT and XINPUT CABs for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectXFor Windows Vista and DirectX 10, DirectInput will be deprecated in favor of XInput, from the Xbox team. Likewise, DirectSound will also be deprecated in favor of XACT. As of DirectX 9.0c, however, neither XInput nor XACT have all of the capabilities of DirectInput or DirectSound, and according to MS documentation on XInput, XInput is specifically designed for the Xbox 360 controllers. DirectPlay is deprecated in favor of Xbox Live whereas DirectShow will be deprecated in favor of Media Foundation, a different set of APIs debuting with Windows Vista to handle audio and video playback. DirectMusic will probably remain the only component intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleg_II Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well, thanx! So for W2k I probably won't need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Nor does XP. Some games may use them (I'm thinking of F.E.A.R. Combat which comes with October 05 Dx update).Otherwise, I think these updates are meant to be sort of release candidates and slow migration.

Super-Magician Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Yeah, you probably won't need/want the XACT and XINPUT binaries until games use DirectX 10 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 DX10 will only be available to Vista and DX10 will break compatibility to save some CPU ops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
