With https://www.williamfeely.info/wiki/DXGL
I was able to open Shadows of the empire on these settigns :
Windows 7 64
Radeon 6850
8 GB DDR3
Phenom 955 X4
But During the game, only ambient light and 2D are rendered.

Hi Java Gaming Forum, i found this software and i was able to play shadows of the empire as in video… actually, not play, but i was able to open the game.
Anyway, i contacted mr William and hes trying to figure it out a way to fix it.
Im not that good with OpenGl, so i thought to post here and see if anyone can lend him a hand!
Thanks in advance

If anyone knows how to render D3DTLVERTEX format vertices in OpenGL/GLSL 1.10 vertex shader please respond. The D3DTLVERTEX format contains screen-coordinate x/y/z and and rhw described by MSDN as reciprocal of homogenous w.
Updates :
“Looks like I have narrowed down the issue to the D3DOP_PROCESSVERTICES opcode in the execute buffer, as well as Z buffering. I’m using the twist sample from the DirectX 3 SDK which I have converted over to compile under Visual Studio 2013 to help trace the rendering pipeline”
" Looks like this has opened a whole can of worms because now I have hit the issue of viewport formats. That old Direct3D API is a total mess, with completely different viewport formats between versions"
