You need to download and set up the old DirectX SDK or better yet you need to download a modern Windows SDK (something greater than XP) that contains the DirectX libraries

can you send angle to me?i make ppsspp but you make ANGLE,OK?

If you don't need fullscreen and unlocked framerate then you can just use any ANGLE build you want. Just use the 2 *.dlls in the zip file I posted if you can't find any other.

[NgJinXiang14]

can you give link to find angle?

[Bigpet]

I told you if you can't find other builds you can just use the 2 *.dlls from the download I posted in this thread.

I tried to make a very hackish simple ANGLE port, try to take this *.exe and the 2 ANGLE *.dlls in this archive and place them into a PPSSPP installation directory and try it please (backup the original exe).

oh,how to use it to combine ppsspp

[Bigpet]

Just compile the patched source code of PPSSPP and then put the *.dlls in the same directory as the *.exe

[NgJinXiang14]

lol,so hard im noob you know

[Bigpet]

Lucky for you there's a thread in this forum called Guide:- Compiling PPSSPP on Windows for Dummies

isn't the angle port is hacky,even if we compile to the latest build the result would be obvious(full of missing 3d),unless the Angle code been improve,it quite useless to compile new build.but you can always make it,no one mad though.well frankly said we need work on Direct x9 code instead(sounded like eta but no indeed).

What is patched source code

Yes, this is the reason why it's not in the main branch and it's the reason why I won't bother compiling a new version. This is all just a temporary stopgap and there's no need to maintain a hacky experiment. I tested it to see how the performance would shake out. It's slower by 2x and more in some situations, seeing as how people who need the DX port usually have weak systems this really isn't viable in the long run. Which is why I would advise people to just wait for an actual DX renderer.
