How easy would it be to write a hook/inject/intercept wrapper for
DirectPlay4 to DirectPlay8?

Basically it seems the latest DirectX 9.0c isn't 100% compatible with old
games that uses DirectPlay4.

Are you using Windows XP or a later version of Windows? IPX/SPX is not
supported by the Windows Vista OS, for example, so that DirectPlay provider
simply doesn't exisit anymore.

Also the DirectPlay Voice component was removed from Windows Vista as well.
