Dxcpl: Directx 12 Emulator

Add a robust DirectX 12 compatibility/emulation layer (DXCPL) to enable older or unsupported GPUs and drivers to run DX12 applications by translating DX12 calls to lower-level or older APIs, improving compatibility, performance options, and developer tooling.

Dxcpl works by overriding how a specific application communicates with your graphics hardware. Force WARP: dxcpl directx 12 emulator

Dxcpl allows you to force the DirectX 12 runtime to run in a (WARP - Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform) or to lie to an application about your hardware capabilities. It intercepts the conversation between the game and your GPU. dxcpl directx 12 emulator

It correctly describes the result (running DX12 without hardware support) but incorrectly describes the method (it is a renderer, not an emulator like Dolphin or PCSX2). dxcpl directx 12 emulator
