Wine 0.9.16 contains a rewrite of directdraw. The old directdraw (on which the hacked replacement ddraw.dll I've been telling people to use is based) used some internal Wine functions that have now been removed; the new rewritten ddraw doesn't need them. Unfortunately, my hacked ddraw.dll does.

So I made a new hacked replacement ddraw.dll for Wine 0.9.16 and (hopefully) newer versions. You can download it here (http://madewokherd.nfshost.com/wa_ddraw-0.9.16.tar.bz2).

The wahelp page is traditionally slow to update, and it doesn't help that I haven't really sent Run any updates for this yet.

As for making this work without any hacks, well, not much progress has been made, at least not by me.

Good job you caught me before I went off to London for the weekend ;)

I've uploaded the new file and put a selection on the page. Oh and I'll be back on monday, so I sure hope I haven't made an error *doublechecks*
