DirectX 10 backported to Windows XP! - These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Microsoft Vista, and increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn't capable of running it. No longer will you have to upgrade your OS and video card(s) to play the latest games!

"by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn't capable of running it. "

So instead of running it on the GPU it runs it on the CPU... hrm

Somehow I don't think this emulator is going to do Crysis much justice!

I knew this would be the case!

Seen the graphical stuff on 3DMark tests run on the CPU tests, :/ Welcome to Emulated DX10 for XP
