A more advanced DirectDraw wrapper is the cnc-ddraw project available from here:
https://github.com/CnCNet/cnc-ddraw/releases
It is aimed for multiple games but can also be configured for SPWaW. This wrapper requires some configuration file tweaking to make it work but the end result can be quite nice. The advantage of cnc-ddraw is that it makes use of newer OpenGL features to provide even better image quality using so called "shaders". The down side is that it may not work if you have a very old graphics card. It also takes some manual tweaking to get working right and this may be somewhat daunting to the less technically inclined.
If you do decide to use cnc-ddraw you need to extract the files "ddraw.dll", "ddraw.ini" and the "Shaders" folder to your SPWaW directory. After that you need to edit the ddraw.ini configuration file to suit your needs. I found the following changes to produce good results:
fullscreen=true
windowed=true
maintas=true
shader=Shaders\interpolation\cubic.glsl
renderer=opengl
These settings will run the game in a fullscreen windowed mode with the correct aspect ratio and the "cubic" shader using OpenGL rendering.
Note that this project is getting updated quite frequently. For my testing I used version 1.4.0.0 which was the latest one at the time of writing this.
