But I can't imagine why anyone would want to run a DirectX 6 game on a 80486 (It's 7.0a. DirectX 6.1a 7.0a is the latest version that can run on 80486 processors. ![]() There is a beta version of DirectX 5 that can be installed, but. DirectX 3.0a is the latest version that runs on NT 4.0.But, because some games requires some DLLs from DirectX 9 that may be not installed on modern Windows (i.e.: d3dx9_39.dll and d3dx9_43.dll), it would be a good idea to install a DirectX 9 runtime on later OSs (I've got a runtime from June 2010 that has both libraries).The only exception is Windows 7, that can have a version of DirectX 12 installed. From Vista onwards, every OS seems to have their own DirectX (Vista being DirectX 10).So a PC with DirectX 8 should run every game that requires DirectX 5 (more about that later). ![]()
