dgVoodoo 2 is a graphics API wrapper that translates calls made using old graphics API to more modern Direct3D 11 or 12 calls. By combining dgVoodoo and Special K, it is sometimes possible to extend Special K’s features to older titles that would otherwise not be supported.
Special K can automatically make use of dgVoodoo 2 to extend its supported graphics APIs to include the older Direct3D 2-8 and DirectDraw APIs as well.
