While compatibility seemed to be quite good for what it is, there's an important performance hit as a reason of the API conversion and wrapping. I've tested 3 different games under my main machine (FX 8300, GTX 960). Most games don't seem to suffer from this bug, i've only seen it happening on the bios. The bios blue color is messed up indeed which is a funny glitch. Here you can see a screenshot running PCSX2 XP on DirectX 11 mode under XP with said library. I couldn't even make it run with a simple test program, so neither PCSX2 XP (it crashed).

On the other hand, Federico Dossena's impmementation wasn't useful for our project, as the Windows XP compatible version was last updated in 2015, and WineD3D was incomplete and way slower by that time.This library can also be loaded without needing to modify the program or source code, so it's also easy to set up.

The performance isn't obviously great as you can see in the chart below, but it is nice to know there is a conversion library allowing you to run DirectX 11 applications under Windows XP with a reasonably good compatibility (around ~70% of PS2 and PC games seem to run without major graphical bugs or glitches). It was (i believe) developed by at around 2018 as a modification and adaptation of the WineD3D wrapper library, which converts DX to GL calls.
However, the WineD3D OpenGL Wrapper library is indeed a real thing. I could only find an installer which claimed to be that, but was only a botched package with Windows Vista unmodified libraries (thing i discovered by comparing vista libs and seeing missing functions under, which for obvious reasons don't work on XP. 
As opposed to my initial thoughts, there is no DirectX 11 adaptation for Windows XP. Trying to replace it with another dxgi.dll that does work and/or forcing PCSX2 to run on DX11 renderer regardless of the detected adapter configuration only results in crash at emulation start. PCSX2 just doesn't pick the dxgi.dll as the file seems to basically be a placeholder, dependency watcher reporting it's a corrupted file. Their trick might have worked with very certain DX10 components on early DX10 games. The unofficial DirectX 10 for Windows XP, origially published by the russian group "LWGame" at around 2008 seems to be legit, however it is very incomplete as essential components such as DXGI weren't re-implemented or adapted. Also, I don't know what kind of performance and functionality to expect from this unofficial "patches", so if it doesn't mean any improvement in contrast with the other renderers, it might not be worth to invest much time on it.Īfter testing for a while different unofficial DirectX implementations for XP, i've reached some conclusions and also results regarding PCSX2 in DX11 mode: #DIRECTX PCSX2 DOWNLOAD CODE#
Any code modifications will logically published on new branch. It seems code modification is needed in order to make GSDx detect the machine is indeed compatible with the DX11 renderer. This testing candidate feature will be first tested under the v1.5.0-dev Sep2018 version, located on the branch release-1.5.0.
WineD3D libraries adapted to XP ( made by federico dossena). OpenGL translation wrapper (still not enough informed about this one). seemingly native DirectX10/11 libraries ( made by a russian group). there are currently several ways to make newer versions of DirectX run under XP: It turns out a russian group managed to port some of the DirectX components to said operating system, althought it seems to be experimental and far from perfect, i thought it could be a good idea to test it out with this project. Recently mentioned about some unofficial ways to make DirectX 10 and 11 work under Windows XP, a feature i wasn't much aware of or informed.
