dgVoodoo2

dgVoodoo2 is a rendering API wrapper used to translate games that use older DirectX rendering APIs to newer DirectX Rendering APIs. This is highly useful for adapting older DirectX 8, 9, and 10 games so that they can benifit from ReShade's compute shaders.

dgVoodoo2 Archive

After you're in the MS folder, you'll find several folders relating to the architecture type of the game's executable. The only two that you'd ever need to go into are x64(64 Bit) and x86 (32 Bit).

Transfer the Proper DLL​

Inside there is likely to be several files, but you only need D3D9.dll (DirectX 9) or D3D8.dll (DirectX 8). Once you've spotted the right DLL for your rendering API drop it in the same location as the game's executable.
