What is DxWnd?
Windows hooker - intercepts system calls to make fullscreen programs running in a window, to support a better compatibility, to enhance video modes and to stretch timing. It is tipically very useful to run old windows games.
- Run fullscreen programs in window
- Perform time stretching to slow down or speed up actions
- Add several compatibility options to support legacy programs
- Log operations, show program status and palette
Said about DxWnd as an alternative
the only reason why i added this as an alternative is because dxwnd can boost performance a bit especially when older games dont run well as full screen. 7max can slightly help in that regard as well but def isnt game focused. i couldnt find many safe hook programs (and theyre not safe if you dont know what youre doing)
Comments and Reviews
Try checking "Video - Fix Parent Window", it works for me. DXWnd is the only application well maintained and with powerful and all round features, there is not a good enough alternative I'm afraid.
