I have a question about the optimizations you talked about, in the removing DX9 news.

I would be interested to know, how much the optimization will improve Dolphin speedwise.
Will it balance each other with the accuracy, or will Dolphin become faster at some point?

How
much is done in Dolphin in terms of the emulated graphics and accuracy?
How much you are able to emulate, which is still missing
after over 10 years of developement, which is quite some time. Did someone started on the speedwise optimizations yet?

So all in all, I would be really interested in a report of the status of the emu. :-)

Thx in advance and thx for all your effort!

They aren't removing Direct X 9. Unless you have a source/link to back this up?

How was hibernation? DX9 as well as XP support has been gone for at least a month or more, Dolphin only supports D3D10/D3D11 and OpenGL now. There were threads created on the forum where developers went over the benefits of dropping support for DX9 and XP as it was holding back development. Then there was an unofficial DX9-Final build released and for a little while now newer builds are OGL/D3D11 only with Windows XP no longer supported.
