something new about XSOS ?

[keiths]

DX10 is too closely tied to the Windows API and is literally systematically covered by over 231,619 patents. The only way a DX10 Game will work on Linux is if about 50 of the API's system calls are not used

Try reading your own tag line. Reading comments from wine developers, they have no such thoughts of impossibility. Some are already considering starting except there's only demo d10 apps and no usable d10 hardware.

You do realize that Wine is not capable enough with DX9 hardware/software, and that's around for a long time.

Not capable for which games? Depends on the game from my experience.

Here's their pre-planning for dx10 dev:

[D3D](d3d10)

* Create the d3d10 lib and start the .idl file for header generation.
* Write stubs for the functions to allow the app to create all the interfaces.
* Write test cases for reference counting. ddraw and d3d9 show that Microsoft does not stick to its own COM rules.
* Make methods that have already 1:1 equivalents in wined3d call wined3d.
* Add other methods as required to wined3d.
* Possibly port D3D10 to Windows XP

Good to see that the project is still coming along nicely and that nn_step is finally answering some questions . Can't wait for it man, I hate myself for missing the Beta testing deadline. And all of you in a rush for it, you can all wait, there are no good DX10 games coming out anytime soon anyway!

Used some, disappointed by majority (win games related) - I'll keep Walking (Johnie Walker).

Any news?

[PanteraGSTK]

Why can't people accept that nn_step is doing something for all of us, and is taking a lot of his own time to do it. Everybody has to KNOW why MS let him use dx10. Why do you care so much? How about we let him finish XSOS and then we will get to see how well it really works. Until then, why don't we keep the speculation threads quiet and just ask questions that deal with when we all get to use it?

[SwimmerBoy]

What "that" for me?

[Nosfer@tu]

Create a mailing list we can sign up for ?

Tried that once, but as soon as we added a reply address it got bloated with spam

[SwimmerBoy]

Any news?

[ColonelCain]

I say that we stop bothering nn, cause that will just irk him. He will tell us things when he wants too, and, as someone said earlier, he is doing some of us a HUGE favor.
So, just have patience.

Currently there is only a WCG Thumbdrive prototype being tested publicly which is only for Dedicated crunchers. Outside of that development is closed

[Ashraf]

Also, if you are interested in testing a WCG thumbdrive for nn_step, come and join WCG team!

[L33T]

I'm interested; I'd like to help out.

[nn_step]

then feel free to help out http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=146830

Mmmm is this a forum issue right now, or is something strangely wrong:

L33T, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

No loading on the OS. I've followed the instructions on everything except the copying of the network drivers (but that shouldn't prevent the OS from loading per-se... only that it might not be so useful). I simply get a message: "remove all disks / media and press any key to restart".

I'm going to retry on this computer, and then on a different computer later tonite or tomorrow.

[nn_step]

then post in that thread, what you did, what hardware you used, and exactly problems you had.

Keen to try the available version, but hope that "closed" doesn't really mean closed.

Hey guys, I just caught eye of this, been a while since I've parused XS. I've been looking for something like this and want to say a HUGE thanks for dedication to such a project! I haven't read allthe threads etc to follow development but I hope this is still ongoing as I have a HUGE interest in this. If there is any way I can help out please let me know by PM!
