SMACX inside a Window?
How can I get SMACX to play inside a window?
I would like to be able to refer to my desktop whilst playing.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

D3DWindower is a very buggy application. Well, atleast for me where I'm switching back and forth from ACX to other progs / desktop. It would lock up at times and I'd have to completely restart my debugging session. Solution? Disabling DirectDraw in ini (DirectDraw=0) and modifying CreateWindowEx api. The result is something like screenshots below. My native desktop resolution is 1680x1050 and I'm setting ACX to run in with res of 1280x768. There are still things that need to be tweaked like adding in system menu to be able to drag the window and such. Plus scrolling (ie. moving mouse to sides of screen) has to be fixed as well to update it to new res. Still, promising and now no more buggy Japanese apps.
