Here''s something that may be of interest to programmer who create games using DirectX. I''ve try the Direct3D retain mode sample that comes with DirectX 7.0 that I download from MS site and most of them doesn''t work. I also try the immediate mode sample and they works with no problem. Does anybody know what''s wrong? I also face DirectX problem when I play FF7. If I play FF7 demo using Direct3D hardware acceleration, there is no problem but when I play FF7 full version, nothing appears, not even the title screen, whenever I run using Direct3D hardware acceleration. (I need to run in software emulation mode and that is really slow) I hope someone can enlighten me on what went wrong. Thanks.
