DxWnd lets you run many applications that default to fullscreen in a window, ideal for games. The program is a Win32 "hooker" program that intercepts and alters the behavior of window messages and APIs.

Who are you? Like if gho the main guy behind DxWnd move over to Github, only then I would consider it an "official" repo, but other wise it seems pretty unofficial to me when a random person sets one up.

What are some of your contributions to DxWnd? Why didn't gho set it up instead?

refack on 2017-04-22 14:53

@Special, I'm just helping gho with the "mechanics" of the mirror. He owns and approves the mirror.

Midas on 2017-07-04 10:04

Tip: no help files are included in recent builds, so it is advised you grab v2_04_10 from Sourceforge which has the most up to date files.

BTW, the GitHub repository mentioned above by refack is currently empty.

  • threefold repetition
  • insufficient material
  • fifty-move rule
  • stalemate was already detected
  • Added undo and redo.
  • Added options to change piece colors.
  • Added an option to make knights face sideways.
  • Added support for the XBoard protocol commands "?", "undo" and "remove".

  • Now the status labels indicate if the game has ended and the reason, if any.
  • Now the engine can use results from partial searches.
  • Significantly improved engine performance.
  • Improved exit time when the engine is thinking.
  • Added repaints to fix some cases where nothing seems to happen until you move the mouse.

  • When the engine finds that it can be mated no matter what, now it makes the move that leads to the slowest mate. Previously it made a random legal move.

  • Fixed an use-after-free on exit if a dialog that asks something has been shown.
  • Fixed theoretical race conditions.
  • Fixed minor memory leaks.

  • Unix: when Project Invincible is installed, now it stores its settings in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config as required by the XDG Base Directory Specification.
  • Minor changes.

You should remove this since it's not immediately portable.

Midas on 2019-10-14 09:44

@Fire The Fox: Arcade! was last released back in 2013, so what's the problem? Or should we just trust your word?

bitcoin on 2019-10-22 20:26

actually Space Invaders is much easier than the arcade version, must be the difficulty level is turned down to normal. I never got past 10,000 points on the arcade version but got almost 200k with this one. Space Invaders is also the most playable of the available games, with just a keyboard

Wesnoth @ v1.12.6 : Maintenance Release

shnbwmn on 2018-05-13 16:30

I'm glad that Wesnoth made it to Steam. Hopefully the community will grow and attract more enthusiasts.

On an unrelated note, I still have the Wesnoth 0.8.8 setup file from 2004/05, only 32Mb. A game must be very good if over a decade later it is still endlessly playable :)

THG Task Assignment Manager v1.0

I am Baas on 8 Jun 2014
  • 221KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Fluffy

THG Task Assignment Manager is an invaluable utility for anyone with a multi-processor or multi-core computer. It allows you to increase the speed of your computer by configuring certain tasks to individual processors. Known as "affinity," this will save your program settings and maintain profiles of them in the future. This has many benefits including:

  • Keeping one program from using all your system resources
  • Increasing speed to two or more programs that aren't optimized for multi-processor systems
  • Helping run some games that require a correct affinity setting to run properly
Note: The program has to be configured and then actively running for processor affinity to work; it does not function automatically.

Super Mario War v1.7

Super Mario War is a tribute to the old "versus" Mario games with a wealth of features and game modes. The goal is to primarily hop on your opponents, though powerups such as Fire Flowers, Hammers, Invincibility and more are available to help you defeat your foes. AI "bots" are also available and are usually quite a challenge, though their performance can vary from map to map. Super Mario War also supports extra maps and skins.

It's perfectly available, but they're hosting it at a new place. Open up the website, hit "Download Game" and you'll see the address of the new place. Type it in (you'll be led to a forum) and look for a sticky that says something along the lines of "Super Mario War [version] Released!"
