D7VK is the open-source project that began [1]implementing the Direct3D 7 APIs atop Vulkan and with time the scope expanded to [2]include Direct3D 6 support as well as [3]Direct3D 5 support . Out today is D7VK 1.4 for continuing to enhance the support for these older D3D versions on Vulkan under Linux.

D7VK 1.4 has continued improving the Direct3D D3D6 / D3D5 game compatibility with more games now working correctly under this portability layer. There is also initial support for depth write-back, support for color key transparency, consolidating the legacy DDraw interoperability, and other fixes and enhancements.
