dxWrapper for old FX games

[AzazelHD]

Hello ^^

I have a question and came here for some answers :P

I am trying to play old FX games, like commandos or imperium. In particular, now i am with imperium civitas (can be found on archive dot org)

Do you know a way to run the game on a borderless mode, without breaking my desktop resolution when i tab out of the game?

Dont get mad at me for what im about to say but, i asked gpt for a solution, and it suggested me this

[d3d9]
AnisotropicFiltering       = 0
AntiAliasing               = 0
EnvironmentCubeMapFix      = 0
EnableVSync                = 1
ForceVsyncMode             = 1
ShowFPSCounter             = 0
OverrideRefreshRate        = 60
LimitDisplayModeCount      = 0
CustomDisplayWidth         = 0
CustomDisplayHeight        = 0
LimitPerFrameFPS           = 0
EnableWindowMode           = 1
WindowModeBorder           = 0
SetInitialWindowPosition   = 0
InitialWindowPositionLeft  = 0
InitialWindowPositionTop   = 0
FullscreenWindowMode       = 1
ForceExclusiveFullscreen   = 0
ForceMixedVertexProcessing = 0
ForceSystemMemVertexCache  = 0
SetSwapEffectShim          = 0
DisableMaxWindowedMode     = 0
ForceDirect3D9On12         = 0
GraphicsHybridAdapter      = 0

[FullScreen]
FullScreen                 = 0
ForceWindowResize          = 1
WaitForWindowChanges       = 0

But using the dsound.dll instead of the d3d9. Thing is, i dont feel it is running on a borderless mode, more like a full screen, because when i tab out, it is not inmediate, and when resuming the game focus, it takes a bit to load, and screen gets black when tabbing in/out.

Thanks for work dude ^^ I appreciate it

Imperium is a dos game, i'm not aware of a win95 port.

Commandos is not considered 4x.

Imperium and commandos were published by FX-interactive, for windows xp

I just checked with Commandos in the latest build and if you enable only these three options you will get windowed borderless mode:

Dd7to9                     = 1
Dinputto8                  = 1
EnableWindowMode           = 1

Here is the latest build: dxwrapper.zip
