cnc-ddraw

cnc-ddraw can fix compatibility issues in older 2D games, such as black screen, bad performance, crashes or defective Alt+Tab. It does also add new features such as borderless mode, windowed mode and upscaling via shaders.

 

Features

  • Supports Windows ME, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, 11, Wine (Linux/macOS/Android) and Virtual Machines
  • GDI / OpenGL / Direct3D 9 renderer (With automatic renderer selection)
  • Upscaling via glsl shaders - https://imgur.com/a/kxsM1oY | https://imgur.com/a/wjrhpFV
  • Windowed Mode / Fullscreen Exclusive Mode / Borderless Mode
  • Alt+Enter support to switch quickly between Fullscreen and Windowed mode
  • Automatically saves and restores window position/size/state
  • FPS Limiter
  • VSync
  • Optional mouse sensitivity scaling
  • Preliminary libretro shader support - https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders
  • ...

 

Instructions

  1. Download cnc-ddraw.zip and extract it into your game folder
  2. Start the game

Wine (Linux/macOS/Android) only: override ddraw in winecfg manually or run cnc-ddraw config.exe once.

 

Important

  • The game must be set to fullscreen. To enable windowed mode, use cnc-ddraw config.exe instead
  • cnc-ddraw does not support Direct3D games, the game must have a DirectDraw (Software) renderer
  • If the game doesn't start at all or it's crashing, then please generate a debug log file and upload it.
  • Some games require additional steps before they can be used with cnc-ddraw, check the wiki for details

 

Hotkeys

  • [Alt] + [Enter] = Switch between windowed and fullscreen mode
  • [Ctrl] + [Tab] = Unlock cursor
  • [Right Alt] + [Right Ctrl] = Unlock cursor
  • [Alt] + [Page Down] = Maximize window
