Hi, I think writing (yet another) D3D benchmark isn't going to help a lot, there are already numerous benchmarks out there. I have built a very hacky set of cxtest and php scripts that run a bunch of benchmarks and games(3DMark, Half Life 2, UT 2004, Team Fortress), store the results on a serv

One of the most useful GSOC project for gamers would be to implement DInput with XInput2. Vitaly sent some hackish patches in Bug 6971 It could be a good start to begin to code. A+ David On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 6:11 PM, Edward Savage wrote: > > > Sorry this is a little off topic from D3

Sorry this is a little off topic from D3D but maybe what the OP is looking for. I'm not sure how easy it is but .net 3.5 sp1 is currently a blocker for several high profile games that would otherwise work well with Wine, and many others that may work. .net needs to install correctly and functio

I've done a little bit of research on Direct3D. Having seen how easy the tutorial at http://www.directxtutorial.com/ is, I think I'd like to propose the following: a 3D benchmarking program that would allow users and developers to determine what aspects of WineD3D are the slowest so that they can b

Firstly, thanks to Roderick for the prompt reply. I had a feeling that my ideas were a little much. :-) That being said, I've again gone over the list of possible projects on the Summer of Code page and one that particularly piqued my interest was "Direct3D - Conformance / Performance / Interact
