Hey, welcome to our dungeon.
MADrigal said:Hi ICe, long time since we last chatted on newnet
I just registered this forum, and I'm here to tell that I can beta-test for ya in case you need. My PC specs: D700 + GF2mx + 256MB ram.
Enjoy DirectX programming!!
Hey, welcome to our dungeon.
Awesome!
I was afraid that after PJ64 was gone, there would be no progress on a great D3D plugin... I guess we have something to look forward to.
My specs if you need a ATI beta tester:
P3-800
256MB PC100 CAS2 SDRAM
ATI All in Wonder Radeon
Generic Vortex 1 Sound
Generic BX Mobo

Hi Martin
Hi Martin, thanks for welcoming me
...your signature is the longest I've ever seen... I'm "scared" at thinking you're actually administrating all such sites! AURGH!!
Hey Toneman... you have almost the same hardware as I... are you trying to become beta-tester in place of me? LOL

ok ok
im sorry, didnt wanna stress ice or anyone else here.
Just wanted to honor the cool emu (including its author)
just read MADs post and thought i could do that too.
Im pretty sure, ice will choose the tester himself.
im pretty amazed of his OpenGL plug, dont mind.
keep up the good work
peace

Hey!
Hey I was just kidding with tone77 I'm not trying to fight people to get a beta plugin. Just noticed that tone has almost the same HW as I have.
Let's just wait until Ice does some superb wirk as usually, then I wish he'll post his beta right here.
Keep up the great work Ice!

This might be too much to ask, but I was hoping it'd be compatible with VRCaddy, a stereoscopy app. It'd be awesome to play all those PJ64 games in stero 3D. Jabo's isn't compatible, so thats why I ask. If you want more info, I can give you the website.

Yeah, the website is http://www.vrcaddy.com. You'll also need the runtime thingys from http://www.win3d.com. It (VRCaddy) uses page-flipping and line-blanking, which makes it compatible with most 3D devices. If you want to bypass VRCaddy, (which wouldn't be a bad idea, though it'd probably be a lot more work), Winx3D has a stereoscopic SDK you can check out. I don't know if you could work native Winx3D support into a plugin or not, but I guess you could check it out. I'm not much of a programmer, so I can't tell you much more than this. Thanks for even being willing to try though!
:colgate: :tr64:
P.S. I think I've figured out that the reason Jabo's doesn't work is that it calls for some functions which VRCaddy doesn't support, thus causing the plugin to spit out an error. Thats why native Winx3D support would be preferable. This is just educated speculation though.

Firestar007,
The WINx3D SDK looks pretty straight forward. I'll see what I can do with it. Only drawback is that It doesn't work with OpenGL so I won't have anything soon. Also it looks like you've pushed the purchase of VR glasses up on the list of things to get.
Cheers,

And of course, I'm available to test these features if and when its necessary. You can probably find some cheap VR Glasses on Ebay. Look for the H3D Terminator, the VRJoy 2000, or even the clunky old VRSurfer (which is what I have). The VRSurfer probably won't top $15-$20 (US), but its also quite old, so you may not be able to find it at all. The others will run $50-$70. The advantage of getting one of the newer ones is that you can use the nVidia stereo drivers (assuming you have an nVidia card) to play many more games in stereo than you can if you just use VRCaddy.
Another thought: Winx3D also supports cross-eye and parallel view (like Magic Eye pictures), as well as red/blue glasses. That would keep you from having to buy VR Glasses but would still enable you to test your plugin.
