Hey,
I got RE4 for the pcsx2 and I wanted to play it, but once again I get annoyed buy the too low fps. So I looked into the guides if I could improve my settings at least a bit. This is when I humbled across DirectX 10 settings. I didn't thought that it would give me a lot of speed and well... I have Windows XP x64 and there is no DX10 for it, right?
HA! When something isn't possible, but it should be, than you can expect some friendly programmers who release a work around, fix or hack for it and it really happend: DX10 on Windows XP is possible without a doubt.
All you need is to install this and DX10 on your system:
Link
(I recommend to use this source, because many people on other sites complained about unofficial downloads which contained malware and trojans)
There is also a little switcher program for switching between a system with/without DX9 and DX10.
So I installed it and I really got DX10 settings for the Gsdx9 plug-in
I started the emulation and I got an unexpeccted error message, because the plug in failed to open/initalize
Here is the logfile:
I believe that it could be possible to use DX10 with pcsx2 and maybe it just needs a little tweak. I read through a lot of DX10 on XP comments and a lot of people report boosts in their system preformance. In my opinion this is very remarkable, because as far as I understood the CPU hast to emulate (some?) DX10 functions (at least the Alykyl - Project method, but actually there are 3 methods to use DX10 on XP).
Uhm... I was not able to test DX10 on a DX10 because I don't have one, but I'm almost sure that it should work. Anybody wants to try it?
My system:
Intel® Core2 Duo CPU P9500 @ 2.53GHz
Nvidia 9600MGT
Windows XP x64 Pro SP2
Help/Discussion?
