Poncho Wonky is a new release of Patchwork. While v3.18.1 was supposed to be the last release but I have a computer and I can't be stopped.
So, I decided to resume working on Patchwork on my own. I am worse developer than all the other clever hands that touched this code, but I can still get things working, hence here we are.
A Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 7, 6, 5 and 3 which allows running 3D applications on Linux using Wine. It uses DXVK's D3D9 backend as well as Wine's DDraw implementation (or the windows native DDraw) and acts as a proxy between the two, providing a minimal D3D7/6/5/3-on-D3D9 implementation.
Note that D3D retained-mode applications are not supported, since the project only aims to implement immediate-mode.
These features are also available in DXVK-Sarek, in case you are using older graphics hardware.
