In SF download section there is the new DxWnd release.
Apart from some important fixes that interest only a few games, there is also a partially revised and enriched set of export files that were tested with these last releases. In particular, these are the new tested games in alphabetical order:

  • Animaniacs a Gigantic Adventure
  • Arcanum - Of Steamwork and Magic Obscura
  • Becherban
  • Catechumen
  • Cyberstrike 2
  • Dead Reckoning
  • Delta Force
  • Dionakra
  • Elder Blaze
  • Freedom First Resistaance
  • Frogger 2 Swampy's Revenge
  • Frogger
  • Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy remake
  • International Rally Championship
  • Maidlien
  • Marbe Drop
  • Maria and a Red Bloom
  • New Robinson
  • Plane Crazy
  • Rage of Mages - Allods
  • Rage of Mages 2 - Necromancer
  • The Grinch
  • Wargods
  • Warlords III
  • Westwood Monopoly
  • Wing Commander Secret Ops
  • WinGuimo
  • Worms 3D
  • WWE RAW - Total Edition
  • Yatagarasu Ver. 4.2

I also discovered that some Sierra games of the Hoyle series have a byte aligned IAT, so they require setting the "Hook / IAT alignement" flag to "byte". The differences were tiny, but the effect could be a game crash at startup or at the end of the game, so in the second case it could be that it was unnoticed. I'm trying to test as many Hoyle games as possible to see it this is a general rule or not: I think that the cause is a peculiar development tool used in Sierra labs, so maybe there could be other games as well.
