Prismatik as it should have been (Windows)

A while ago I got two Lightpacks and found Prismatik performance sucks and it can't grab fullscreen DirectX games (despite having corresponding modules in its source code).

Thanks to open source, I forked their official Lightpack GitHub repo and built binaries after not getting any responses from Woodenshark.

Note: It seems they stopped using GitHub, so I don't know about Prismatik 6.0.0 beta. I can't currently test it, but it seems nothing has changed about the major issues

Main Improvements

  • Using Windows Desktop Duplication API for significantly increased performance on the desktop

  • Fixing DirectX grabbing for DX9 (bad performance) and DX10/11 to capture fullscreen games

  • 64-bit build to be able to grab 64-bit games

Notes

  • Important: If you have existing Profiles created with the original Primatik, go to Profiles and check Expert mode, then go to Experimental and change the Capture source to Win8 Desktop Duplication
  • For DirectX grabbing, run Prismatik as Administrator or select the corresponding option during installation to launch as admin automatically, then go to Experimental and check Enable DX hooking. DirectX 9 hooking will cost you FPS, for newer games there should be almost no difference

Latest Version: 5.11.2.6 (Feb 21, 2016)
