A Conversion of Seumas' BackBuffer
Author
I was wondering if anyone had come up with, or would help me out in, converting Seumas McNally's old BackBuffer renderer to be compatible with DX8+. I'd love to have some help here, because from what I've seen, its actually a rather good piece of code, its simply that my DX SDK is 9.0a (I believe).
Thanks in advance,

In what way do you think that this old code will be useful? And please post a link to relevant code to clarify your answer.

The code I was talking about is in the URL below. The reason I believe it'd be useful is because it has a good deal of what I need already, for graphics rendering that is.

I took a look at it, and it looks almost completely irrelevant to current usage in D3D9. It's not even in line with current hardware, where 32 bit rendering is a baseline, and there's no palette support.
If you're looking to programming 2D, and want a paradigm that's more in line with "the old ways", try SDL.
