When the player selects Direct3D, is "System.HardwareAcceleration" always true?

...and...

When the player selects DirectDraw5, is "System.HardwareAcceleration" always false?

Yes, but I can assume you've already read that in the manual.  :-\
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

Dualnames you troll!
The reason why I'm asking is because I wasn't 100% sure after reading the manual :

[Excerpt for "System.HardwareAcceleration"]

Returns whether the game is running with hardware acceleration (eg. Direct3D).

Direct3D is just an interface to 3D rendering. Also, using the Directx5 interface to display sprites wouldn't necessarily mean that you compouter doesn't have any hardware acceleration features.
Thanks for confirming that the property's value exactly maps the choice of the user in the setup window.
=> SOLVED

Yes, while you're correct that technically speaking even DirectDraw 5 uses some hardware acceleration features, this property is referring to whether the main rendering loop is hardware accelerated, which is the case with D3D.
