Here are my first compare of Subsystem DirectX9 (15bit) vs the nativ DirectX7.

Let is run a little bit and you see the differents (FPS and Game speed)

QONK_DirectX9vsDirectX7.zip



So my wish is:
@Fred, please change the nativ one to the DirectX9
And please make the startup (initialization of sprites) of directX9 faster.

The DirectX 9 version only gives a black window. So maybe that's the reason it's not default.

Have you tested the DirectX9 Subsystem with your sources too?

the dx7 runs at 102, the dx9 at 172 fps.
(older gforce 6200 )
and the startup (maybe sprite loading) is triple fast,
comparing dx7 to dx9 (dx7 is 3 times faster) .

Yes, LoadSprite() does not work.

Have you told it @fred on the bug section?

No, as I don't care since this computer is not powerful enough to use these games properly anyways. I plan on getting a new computer shortly, so it's not the latest gaming monster that it doesn't work on, which would be worse.
The graphics chip is ProSavageDDR (aka ProSavage 8 ) if you want to report it.

GeForce MX400 32Mb :

33-35 FPS in DX7
43-45 FPS in DX9

dx7 210 fps
dx9 420 fps

Info:
DirectX9 startup time seems to be very improved with PB4.30Beta4
