Anyone here tried Alky Project ? (DirectX10 in XP)

Lookks Nice.....

I've tried VAIOXP and Alky along with the Vista Sidebar that has been ported to XP. I haven't tried DX-10 though.

wats the use dude?......... most of xp users don't have high end graphic card or RAM or req config.........i think this wouldn;t be so much useful exept for some game freaks using XP with high end configuration

^^
thats why i posted in gaming forum, not in general forum.

^^ where else will u post abt DirectX10 Then?........i was talking abt XP....anyway this wouldn't make any impact

@gopi_vbboy

Making wrong claims eh ?

There are more gamers (with high-end rigs) using XP rather than Vista. Heard of XFire anytime ?? Join it and see some profiles on it. You will find that 55-60% of the registered users are on XP.

tried alky didnt work

^^
I also worked with it for last two days in my spare XP OS. Didn't work at all.

Many of you know about alky-project.
Though they have stopped their development but they once tried to bring DirectX10 in Windows XP.

read here. website 1 and website 2

Have anyone tried this? I am curious to know the result, if any!

Two of my friends did, worked pretty well, sometimes shows errors when launching FRAPS, otherwise its O.K.

Their configs are
Q6600 both.
MSI P35 Platinum Combo/Intel DQ35JO.
2GB/4GB DDR2 800MHz RAM.

How can you be sure? Even I tried alky for few days but all was in vain.

Is it DXDiag tool which shows directX version as 10 ?

Is it some in-game settings which clearly shows that a DX10 feature is enabled in XP (like, in Bioshock DX10 Lighting is enabled in Vista but not in XP)

In my trial of Alky under XP-Sp2, Bioshock didn't enable that settings but in vista (without alky of course) it is enabled and by default on.

Simply putting those dll files doesn't mean it's working. Because when I tried, all the games ran smoothly but neither DXDiag nor Bioshock could prove that DX10 is enabled under XP.

Waiting for some screens?

I'll get the screens after some time(exams coming up on me and my friends)

Dxdiag shows DX10

Bioshock DX10 features work

Gears of War DX10 AA does not work

Crysis allows to choose Very High

Its a bag of mixed results, but its not actually DX10, its more like a emulator running DX10 under DX9.

So ultimate bottom line is : it sux.
Better get Vista or be satisfied with DX9.
