DXGL 0.1.2 - Lands of Lore Guardians of Destiny (no acceleration)

[Mazryonh]

I still have a boxed copy of this old game.  Will it let me run this old classic on Windows 7?

@Mazryonh You may have to manually copy the files to your hard drive first because the installer was written for DOS. To do so, copy the INSTALLER folder from disc 1 to a folder on your hard drive. As of now, DXGL will get rid of the palette glitches, but it does not yet emulate hardware accelerated mode.

@soundspark Right now, please note that the release of DXGL as of today, version 0.1.4, may not work due to incomplete changes. This will be fixed for 0.1.5 as well as other fixes.

@soundspark DXGL version 0.1.5 has been released now and fixes the bugs in 0.1.4.

@soundspark I see. I hope a version comes out that lets me run this game on hardware accelerated mode too (I never got to see that when the game was still current). It would make the sprites look much better.

@Mazryonh Just so you know, I'm the developer of DXGL. 3D acceleration is a priority for an upcoming version, however, various issues keep popping up. Also, I plan on emulating Direct3D7 first due to significant differences between the Direct3D versions, so it may be a while before Lands of Lore Guardians of Destiny works.

@soundspark Oh, make no mistake, I appreciate your work. Please keep me posted on how far you get soon.
