dgVoodoo: Wrapper for Old DOS and Windows Games

A compatibility solution enabling smooth performance and fixes for classic DOS and Windows games on modern systems

What is DgVoodoo?

dgVoodoo is a wrapper program that provides compatibility and various fixes when running old MS-DOS and Windows games on modern computers and operating systems. It works by acting as a wrapper between the game and the hardware and software of the system.

Some of the key features and fixes dgVoodoo offers include:

• Solving graphical glitches in games by emulating old graphics cards like VESA and CGA
• Supporting various sound standards like SoundBlaster for proper audio output
• Fixing issues with mouse input in games expecting joystick or mouse movement
• Performance boosts through utilization of modern resources and hardware acceleration
• Compatibility with modern hardware, Windows versions, and widescreen resolutions

By sitting between the old game code and modern system components, dgVoodoo is able to translate calls and requests from the game into something a modern PC can handle properly. This enables many classic games from the MS-DOS and older Windows era to run properly on the latest PCs and Windows versions.

dgVoodoo is free open source software that works on Windows platforms. Its wrapper approach maximizes compatibility while requiring little to no modification of the games themselves.
