Apparently DX10 is officially available on XP now?
EDIT: Ok, that pages makes no sense. It clearly says DX10 for XP, but the download is for 9.0c. hmm
EDIT #2: Still appears to be a hack. http://www.techmixer.com/download-directx-10-for-windows-xp/
Doesn't seem to hard. If I had an XP box I'd give it a try and let you know.

Interesting, I'll have to see if Demul v.5.8 will run with it.
Previously I've only seen tutorials about copying files from a Vista install into the XP install, but I never saw any examples of it actually working. There was a thread in the software forum here, but nobody ever tried it and I didn't want to invest the time unless I knew it worked.

It runs Demul v.5.7 just fine. I use it for the light gun games on my old setup which runs XP32.
I've tested it on XP64 and it works, but there is an odd issue where you must have the network plugin installed.
v.5.8 will run on XP, but you have to use the legacy directx9 drivers and I found them glitchy.
IIRC, my car in crazy taxi was missing the wheels.
I also have a leaked WIP from between the two that I use on XP to run the atomiswave driving games, but it crashes when going fullscreen.
I don't think Metal Slug 6 was added until a later WIP.

WTF? You mean all that's been keeping me from running demul was the fact that I didn't install the network stuff? Well I guess you live and learn.
