What is DIRECTX ?
The Microsoft DirectX APIs are an
integrated set of programming tools that help developers create next-generation multimedia
content for the Windows 95/98 platform.
DirectX covers every aspect of multimedia content development, including 3D graphics,
audio, video, input devices, and networking capabilities.
DirectX also provides tight integration between applications and hardware and graphics
accelerators for maximum graphics performance and easy customer installation.
When developing products for DirectX, developers gain access to the huge installed base of
Windows 95/98 customers, while reducing development and support costs.
Common DirectX-based applications include games, entertainment, educational and business
content for the Internet, Intranet, CD-ROMs and other media.
Installing DIRECT X
When you run our Super Games
Browser it will detect if you have DirectX installed, if it is not installed then you will
be asked if you want to install it.
You can also install DirectX from our TOOLS area in the Browser.
To do this simply click on the TOOLS button on our menu, then select Directx 6.1 full for
Windows 95 or DirectX6.1 Core for Windows 98.
When DirectX has finished installing you will need to restart your system.
If you are not sure whether DirectX is installed on your system then you are advised to
install DirectX, as this will ensure the latest version is available and no harm can
result from installing DirectX twice.
