DgVoodoo

Revision as of 10:26, 10 June 2024 by Mh93 (talk | contribs)

dgVoodoo is a system library wrapper that reimplements various old graphics APIs in Direct3D 11 and 12. It is often used as a compatibility layer to improve compatibility of older software on newer versions of Windows. It is also used to extend the graphics of an application beyond their original capabilities (forcing higher resolutions, anti-aliasing, texture filtering, etc.)

LEGO Island

LEGO Island was written for Windows 95 and DirectX 5.0 using APIs that are now over 20 years old. Over that time, both the Win32 and DirectX APIs have changed dramatically and, despite Microsoft's generally good track record on backwards compatibility, LEGO Island has suffered from various compatibility issues that have been gradually introduced over the years. dgVoodoo is commonly used to fix these issues by modernizing LEGO Island's now-antiquated function calls, as well as increasing its internal resolution for a more "high definition" image.

Removal

if your PC doesn't support DgVoodoo, after installation Lego Island would be unplayable but you can delete dgvoodoo by simply deleting all its files from the Lego Island folder
