Improving Graphics for GPL

I would like to be able to patch and improve in some manner the graphics capabilities of the 1998 racing simulation Grand Prix Legends (GPL).

GPLs current limit is 36 FPS. The reason may be the D3D rasterizer and a z-buffer limitation. (Systems are now fast enough to support high poly models with good FPS but unfortunately the D3D rasterizer is not capable of displaying them)

A link to the free demo is provided here:

There are a number of possibilities but I'm really clueless:

1)What we might need is someone knowledgeable in DX development, or just DLL development, to look at the DLL binary and see if it can be patched. Alternatively a new DX DLL would need to be coded.

2)Hacking the rasteriser to increase the buffer size sounds worth a try. Converting it to produce 24 or bit output might be good too as modern graphics cards might work better with that, particularly with anti-aliasing and the like.

Some have said that this is achieveable but hard so either setting a dll in between the exe and the rasterizer or by writing a new rasterizer.

I'm guessing though.

I also pay bonuses.
