Direct3D libraries and the future of the project #7

hello, i just found out about this project, and first of all i wanted to congratulate you for making such an effort, the results are quite amazing even considering it's still in alpha stage.

i recently used some parts of XomPie for testing some of my projects. i also find quite useful and interesting the implemented functionality with the WineD3D libraries in your repository, but you've posted no source code for it. I am aware pre-2015 versions of wineD3D were directly compatible with XP, but not later. Were the DLLs just grabbed from the Wine 2.11 binaries, or is it a modification to make it work on XP? Is there available source code for that?

i also wonder what's the future for this project since it seems there's been no activity for the last 3 years. is the development halted or there's plans to continue? i might be interested on expanding it by myself. thanks in advance.

Yes, me and my friend works on a project called One-Core-API. It is a NT6.x compatibility libraries for XP/2003. I am responsible for WineD3D for Windows XP butin order to make latest WineD3D for XP we need to bring some D3DKMT infrastructure to One-Core-API. Still working but it is hard to port it from Wine to NT5.

considering recent XP source leak... maybe I could learn something @blueclouds8666 yes it was wine-2.11, IIRC the KMT part need patch (ask @Svyatpro) otherwise it's vanilla source. My interest has been outside browser or gaming, until now I still collecting good 32-bit freeware that possibly works on XP to get better overview of whats to implement.
