dx10 on winxp pro

[salraf]

I did some surfing about this topic and found out that there have been some ways to go about this. Most references however are a few years old.

Is this still possible and can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Not possible.

so what about the information that's out there?

Links?

If it actually worked, I'd think that everybody using XP for gaming would be using it. I didn't find any discussion at all after 2008.

Very poor attemps at half hearted hacks which is not the real thing,you are better off buying Win7 for the obvious benefits of DX10/DX11 and better security etc....no real reason to stay with XP nowadays even for gaming.

You have to remember both Vista and Win7 are a major OS redesign from XP.

The closest DX10 Hack was only Hacking Halo 2 to not require DX10 to Run.

The project died because it couldn't be done remotely as easily as some said it could be. What they ended-up with was DX9.0 + SM4.0-ish effects, not DX10, and only in a select handful of tested games (which lots of people couldn't get to work right, even after following all the tips).

And the only reason that worked is because it was actually a DX9 game that did a superficial check for DX10.

Would require a rewrite of Windows XP core OS and the video subsystem. Won't happen, ever. And, IE 11 is DX10 dependent, so forget that on XP too.

MS can't kill XP fast enough. I'll use both XP and either Win7 or Win8 (when it comes out). Gonna see how long XP will last... lol.
