Re: True3D using cheap anaglyph glasses

Posted on 2011-01-14, 15:10

I just quessed. So from what you are saying, I should swap the names of the setttings in Glidos? Yes you should swap them so that Glidos is "One to One" with what the DLP TV is saying in its Menu. I just now realized that I don't need the Nvidia stereo driver turned "On" to create the stereo image …

Okay! I went home to try this on my lunch break, and I'm happy to inform you that you...NAILED it on the first shot! Good job!!! 1.48 glidos implements 3D for the DLP technology! The way I have mine setup with the Nvidia DLP hack and my TV set in "standard" checkerboard (instead of "reverse"), is …

Well what they did with the old Nvidia stereo drivers is that they used the Vertical Interleave format as a basis and just did a registry hack to get it in the format of checkerboard which is what DLP uses. Since Zalman monitors use row interleave to implement the format we're talking about the same …

If you have this implemented on Zalman, it shouldn't be much a leap at all for you to get this also to work with Mitsubishi DLP's checkerboard format. Any chance you could add that too? More info of how it was implemented on Nvidia's (first) 3D stereo driver (before Nvidia 3D vision): http://www. …

Yeah, thanks. Check out my post before yours. I have successfully run this game on an Intel 440 LX and 440 BX board with various Pentium II and III processors. But it does not work on Intel boards beyond 440BX, that includes i820 and i815 boards. Took some trial and error on different machines, but …

Okay I figured this out. The 3DFX Voodoo 1 doesn't work properly on chipsets after 440 LX (or 440 BX). I tried it on an Intel i820 motherboard with a Pentium III 1 Ghz and it just doesn't get read correctly on the PCI bus. I put the Voodoo 1 in an Intel 440 LX board with a Pentium II 266 and the …

Well I've tried upgrading from Ef2000 1.0 DOS ---> Tactcom ---> Graphics+ the slow manual way to see if there is any difference same thing: Error: grssthardwarequerry<> failed It looks like it is trying to find the hardware. In other games, it seems to have a tough time finding the voodoo as well in …

It'll remove your ef2000.bat file and create a ef2000.exe file (keeping your _ef2000.exe file) when you upgrade to 2.0 and 3dfx G+.

My 2D card is an Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra AGP. Not really much of a 2D card, more like a powerhouse for this machine. I have two Windows 98 SE machines, one with the 6800 Ultra and the other with a 3Dfx Voodoo 5 5500 agp. Both resulted in the same error. The Voodoo 1 works fine in both machines in …

No I'm not using a .bat file, unless the shortcut that is created in the Menu by the installer IS a . bat file, which points to the EF2000.exe. Now there is another .exe in the directory called _ef2000.exe (with the underscore before the ef). I wonder if I should try that one instead and create a . …

Well the manual says that although the 3Dfx v2.0 is a DOS game you are supposed to run it in a Windows environment, something to do with the way Windows can allocate the memory properly, but I dunno. I tried booting up with a floppy boot into DOS and I get the same error, can get into the menus but …

Yes, the v2.0 box supposedly has the graphics+ patch already included in it if you install the 3Dfx version during the initial install. Did that and I can run the game and get into the menus, but I can't fly. Crashes with the error I stated above. Tried this on two different old school machines, …

No I did not start the game from a .bat file, because I didn't see that the installer actually created a .bat file in the v2.0 3Dfx version directory (which you install from within windows) which is run within the windows environment even though it's technically a DOS game. This is not a patched …

Hi guys, I'm trying to run EF 2000 v2.0 with my Diamon Monster 3D (Voodoo 1 board) and when I try to play a mission or a quick game it crashes and says at the prompt: qrssthardwarequerry failed. Do I need to have some SST variables set first for the Voodoo 1 in order for it to be initialized and …
