【Vista之家译】破解DirectX 10的黑客现身

微软说DirectX 10只能运行在Vista上，因为它与内核相关联。

当然这是在黑客组织Alky Project没有现身之前。一位自称有19年逆向工程经验的圣迭戈软件工程师Cody Brocious声称已经创造了一个外挂（wrapper）可以让DirectX 10运行在其它平台上并且不会对操作系统有任何伤害。Alky Projec对Geometry Shader代码进行逆向工程，从而使DirectX10及其游戏运行在Windows XP，MacOSX和Linux上。当然这只是他们的一面之词，我们有理由对此抱怀疑态度。Alky Project已经放出了一个preview.zip ，读者们可根据安装说明自己来测试一下，辨别真假。

Vista之家特别提供英文原文如下：

Hacked DX10 for Windows appears

MICROSOFT HAS BEEN talking about DirectX 10 being an integral part of Vista, saying that DirectX 10 could not be implemented onto any other operating systems. The reason for this is the approach of DirectX 10 inside the Vista kernel, with a more console-style approach to hardware.
However, that was before the Alky Project came to light limelight.

A chap called Cody Brocious from San Diego, California, claims to have started to create an wrapper for Windows executables so that they can be ran on another operating system, with no prejudice about that operating system.

A year in, the Alky Project has gone live under the cover of a company Falling Leaf Systems. Members of its Sapling Program will be able to get the wrappers for DirectX10 applications and run them not just on DX10 hardware under Windows XP, but with some DX9 hardware as well.

Although this sounds like a fairytale, Cody claims he reverse-engineered the Geometry Shader code, and that users will be able to run Windows games intended on the Mac OS X on x86-based Macinteltoshes as well as Linux.

While we are waiting for the wrappers so that we can show DX10 running under Windows XP - or not - you can check out the claims yourself.
