As I expected, a few people seem to have trouble with the latest version. This is because I switched from DirectX 6.1 to DirectX 7.0, which offers better performance and more features like cubic environment mapping. The first thing to do is to make sure you have DirectX 7.0 installed. Then, check your video card drivers and sound card drivers to make sure they're compatible with this version. If they aren't, then you probably have some very old hardware and I wouldn't even recommend to play the latest versions of Kyodai. If you still have problems, you can download version 14.00 instead. It's up to you. For now, I don't have good reasons to go back to DirectX 6.1. Actually I have even better reasons to switch to DirectX 8.0 as soon as it's correctly supported on the Delphi development platform. I hope everything turns okay for everybody in the end. I'm rather proud of my latest version, you can customize it as you wish, add more visual effects, and I'll do my best to keep adding more effects and features in the future. Stay tuned...
