BizHawk dependency changes
- VC 2010 redist is no longer needed
- The "2015, 2017, 2019" VC redist is now the "2015, 2017, 2019, 2022" VC redist
Probably want to update the prereq installer when next BizHawk release occurs.
https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk/commit/e293e023690990b326a594ff47b8f09cd7e2d388 DirectX 9 -> 11, though IIRC it's bundled with Win10+, though we could support Win7 or possibly older if we wanted to
Older than 7 is active self-hatred at this point (stubborn xp user until 2017 here).
~~is looking at .NET on Win95~~
Was DirectX 9 only included for XP then? Or does Win7 have DirectX 11 but not 9 for some reason?
In reality, D3D9 was always already included since Windows XP SP2 from what I can find. What the DX redist actually provided was an older HLSL compiler and some other D3D9 extras which BizHawk relied on.
This entire thing could be deprecated for the next bizhawk release. For the VC redistributable, we could just link to the newest one provided by microsoft (https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) and I'm unsure if including the optional update KBs is still useful for anyone (we technically don't support old windows version anyway...).
