find this sequence in d3d9.dll and d3d8.dll (hex) -

96 00 00 00 C8 00 00 00

and change it to -

01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00

thats all. :)

Well, as good as it can be; you can't expect a regular CPU to process dozens of millions of vertices. Don't know if ShiftShader is more or less efficient though.

From my experience, GMA950 (no hardware VS) chokes on even the most simple vertex shaders, maybe this could be a possible solution. SwiftShader site says:
