D3DX9_xx.dll

D3DX9 extension library files. Relevant MSDN section, although unfortunately MSDN URLs tend to break over time.

A Brief Overview

In order to simplify the code structure in Wine, nearly all functions from the various d3dx9_xx dlls are forwarded to d3dx9_36. The primary exceptions are functions that were never implemented in d3dx9_36 (these are forwarded to d3dx9_24), the functions D3DXGetTargetDescByName and D3DXGetTargetDescByVersion, which are in d3dx9_24 to d3dx9_30 since we couldn't find any documentation for them.

This means that most Wine d3dx9 developers only need to focus on d3dx9_36. As of v1.5.27, Wine's implementation of the d3dx9 API includes:

  • most math functions
  • ID3DXSprite interface
  • partial ID3DXFont interface (currently missing text drawing)
  • most surface and texture functions
  • some mesh functions

Also note that the shader assembler/compiler functions are now forwarded to d3dcompiler_43.dll, which is the "modern" interface to these features. This lets us reuse a lot of code for d3dx9, d3d10 and d3dx10 too.
