Hey Guys to anybody out there who still may play some old Glide games and Stereo unable to work under a newer system w/nVidia 3D Vidion I think I may have found a fix.. it is called Sweet FX and adds dx9 bloom effects and such to games..

Well I still Fly TAW(Total Air War) and old F22 Flight Simulator but it is dx6 and S3D no longer worked as we all know..

Well I just found out about Sweet FX and figured I would try it mostly for the Bloom Effects and getting S3D working was a total surprise..

Well this may be a fix for some older glide games that you use a wrapper like DGVoodoo on so give it a shot and report if it worked or not..

I can say for sure it works 100% in Total Air War cool!!

yes I would especially if it was a glide game.. TAW was both DX and Glide.. I used the DGVoodo 1.50 wrapper just in case you are wondering.. I could try it with nGlide as well but I was totally surprised when I saw the double image without my glasses..

Been 2 Years since I seen that sim in S3D cant wait till we fly next wed..

Oh man! I remember Screamer. That game was sick! Talk about a blast from the past.

Screamer (and Screamer 2) are both available from GoG (gog.com) iirc. Not sure if they have 3d options tho :D

Personally, I don't think I played Screamer - but I spent far too much time playing Screamer 2 networked (even with the glitches / crashes / etc). Might have to give this a try over the xmas break - Screamer 2 in 3D should be a blast :)

Screamer Rally (which I think is Screamer 3) was the best racing game back in the day (under 3DFx anyway, software render sucked).

Those games were all early LAN classics!

Not actually in stereoscopic. It's doubling the 3d rendering, but appears to be a single plane at a distance your Nvidia depth setting dictates. If anyone has ever gotten TAW in real S3D, please let me know. bummed out
