WineD3D Alternatives

WineD3D is described as 'Even if Windows supports DirectX natively, using WineD3D can enhance backwards compatiblity with older games, especially on Windows 8 and newer that don't support 16 bit screen modes. Another possible use is to emulate unsupported versions of DirectX, or porting DirectX' and is a compatibility layer tool in the os & utilities category. There are more than 10 alternatives to WineD3D for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Wine, Flathub and Mac apps. The best WineD3D alternative is Wine, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like WineD3D are Proton, ProtonPlus, ProtonUp-Qt and Protontricks.
