You might recognize Steve. He's been on Channel 9 before when he gave us a tour of the Flight Simulator team.We wonder what the next 10 years will bring us. Do you use DirectX? Tell us about how. en Sun, 19 May 2013 23:50:22 GMT Sun, 19 May 2013 23:50:22 GMT Rev9 Re: Steve Lacey - 10 years of Direct X There were around 3 minutes of blue screen at the end of the video (download). And given then title 10 years of... it seemed more like The early years of...

Steve has a blog btw but it doesn't talk technical all that much.

1) Vista is emphasizing its future role in PC gaming -- what's the chance of that functionality migrating to XP?

2) DX has version numbers, of course, but what's this DDI thing I've been seeing? Seems like a lower-level thing than DX.

Despite the version number on the disk, I think that's DirectX 1.

I got it for being on the beta, though I don't remember being a very good tester. I hope MS hasn't kept that fact on file all these years Smiley

DDI stands for Device Driver Interface. Each version of DirectX not only publishes interfaces that application developers can consume, it also defines interfaces that driver writers must implement. A driver's DDI version is determined by the DirectX version who's DDI the driver implements. If you have a driver that implements DDI version 8, there will be certain DX9 functions it cannot perform. Note that the fact that a driver implements DDI version 9 doesn't necessarily mean your video card is DX9 capable.

I haven't used DirectX in quite a while. I've beta tested it since version 7 however, and even was among the top 10 most bugs reported for DirectX 8 (got a Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 for that). One of the samples in the DirectX 8 SDK uses code I've written; the sample contained a bug, I sent in a correction, and they used my code exactly to correct the sample. Big Smile
