Hi i am trying to use the DX8 to DX9 converter but there is already a d3d8.dll file in the directory from the widescreen fix patch. I can't have two
Is it possible to rename the D3D8.DLL file to something like D3D8_2.DLL?
If anyone knows any tricks to get it to work id appreciate it thanks
Can i rename D3D8.DLL file to something else?

Re: Can i rename D3D8.DLL file to something else?
There is configuration file for it and [PROXY] section to do that. But i am not sure if its same kind of code i did in dx9 mods or not, try yourself. You should rename that widescreen fix library to something else, f.e. wide.dll, then put its name to proxy library name (see readme) and other two parameters set to 1 (or if it crash, try set init functions to 0). If this will not work, then that proxy feature is only for dx9, after conversion is done.

Then that proxy only for dx9 wrappers, so you can't use both (unless you have that wide as d3d9.dll version).
