Is this designed to fix the supposed lag inherent in Windows 7? Or is just for graphical purposes?

Windows 7 doesn't introduce any (noticeable) lag, so no.

fix the graphics for me with Win8.1 but also adds a lag that makes the game unplayable. Makes the game feel like CPU is at 100% usage while it's not.

Is CPU Throttling enabled or disabled? Can you try toggling it?

Interesting how it will behave under Wine, and will it affect performance and battlenet menus.

i don't have that active too. The lag reduced greatly for me when i switched off the DDRAW Emulation in the MCA Launcher, but it still was notable. And too notable to really feel comfortable playing.

1. DDraw.dll made my StarCraft feels heavy/slow.
2. My StarCraft took a while to load in the beginning.
3. My StarCraft felt like running LESS frame.
4. Words seem blurry in the channel.

Shows a clear difference at 1:40 and 7:10 (Sweeping screen with the keyboard arrows)
Overall, I felt like I had ddemulate on. ddemulate makes my StarCraft run slower.

Thanks. Seems to be working nice for me. Only that the font seems to be a little bit blurry, but I can live with that.

Switching between them didn't help, I got integrated and modern driver. I think setting latest NVIDIA modern driver for 98 game is silly.

For me blurred fonts were fine, they looked nicer, looked like Microsoft font thing which makes easy to read things.

But if you have use glasses sure it's bad and differs.

Basically Scan in his video showed everything I wanted to say. It feels like I'm using some other mouse with other speed/DPI and other mouse pad. Sure it's playable but that's not right, it messes with your control bad and you can't ladder. Maybe it made for Warcraft 2 or whatever game of Blizzard and not compatible with BW. So I'm taking back my word about implementing this dll to mca64launcher because mca's Emulate DirectDraw option is hundred times better and not giving a lag.

I have a windows 8 laptop on which brood war only plays as a small screen in the upper left corner of the monitor. I gave this a try, but it didn't fix it unfortunately.
