®®® Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 nVIDIA ForceWare 31.40 for Windows 9x / ME Modded INF (NOT ready yet) | 3D Stereo Drivers | Quickstart Guide Operating System: Windows 9x / ME Driver Version: 31.40 Driver Date: 2002-08-27 (YYYY-MM-DD) Driver Size: 4.8 MB Driver Released by: ASUS MS WHQL Certificate: Setup Files Included: (How to install) International Files: Comments ASUS Stereoscopic Driver for Direct3D ------------------------------------- Important notes before you start to play STEREO games: 1. You must select the following resolutions for stereoscopic modes. 640x480 800x600 960x720 1024x768 (16-bit color only) How to adjust parameters of Direct3D VR --------------------------------------- Depth - Increase it to make the scene look more depth. However, large value could make eyes incomfortable because objects are far separated. Embossment - Increasing it could pull all objects out of monitor screen more. You can set an appropriate value by adjusting the "E" line on histogram chart of OSD. Direction - This option is rarely adjusted because most games use "+" as default. If you fail to adjust Embossment parameters to make some objects out of screen and the other objects inside screen simultaneously, try this option. Currently we find only few games need to be adjusted to "-".(See scheme) Foreground - The option is paired with Background option to "stretch" histogram chart to scale your depth of 3D objects. Some games only utilize a little range of Z to make bad stereoscopic effect. Adjusting Foreground option to the Z value of objects stretched toward 0.0. Background - Same as foreground except that it sterecth the Z value of objects toward 1.0. Blind - If you see garbages on leftmost or rightmost side of screen, increasing this value will clear them. Tips: 1. Do not make 3D objects in games separated to much, especially near objects. 2. It is good to make some objects outside screen and the other ones inside screen. And it is appropriate that the ratio of objects outside and inside is 1:3 to 1:5. 3. For car racing games, you can adjust Embossment to make just your car out of screen. 4. For first-person-shooting games, just make hand/weapon outside screen by Embossment option. OSD Histogram Chart ------------------- 0 1 | | * | | | * | | *| * * * | | * ***| * * * * | | * * * ***| ** ** * * | +--------------+-------------------+ Z=0.0 E ^ Z=1.0 ^ | | Number of vertices on Embossment this Z-value You can know what Z range objects locate in and how they gather by this chart. For example, if this chart is displayed on a car racing game, the vertices on left side of E" line could be the model of you car and right side could be the road, houses, the other cars or trees on the front of your car. So, you can: 1. adjusting Embossment to move "E" line. 2. adjusting Foreground/Background will stretch the histogram to make objects more "even distributed". Release Notes ------------------------------------- 5.16: 1. New algorithm for stereoscopic computation. 2. New histogram chart in OSD for games utilizing Direct3D 6.0. Notes/Known issues for specific games ------------------------------------- Tomb Raider series: 1. Objects locate between 0.95 to 1.0. So you need to adjust Foregound to 95 or larger. Beetle Crazy Cup 1. To play this game in stereoscopic mode, you need to set Direction to "-". * The copyright of all listed games and their brand names belong to their companies. ASUS Extra Light Technology for Direct3D ----------------------------------------------- ASUS Extra Light is very beneficial in D3D game. Users can use Extra Light to define an additional spotlight with self-defined direction, size, color, and brightness. It makes the 3D scene more bright, clear, and colorful. This technology enhances the color definition in 3D games providing additional spotlight to the areas that gamers want to focus on. 1. Make sure that your applications must run under DirectX 7.0 or later. 2. Open the D3D On Screen Display(OSD)(you may use the defined hotkey), and then press Page/UP or Page/DOWN to find Extra Light Setting Page. How to adjust parameters of Extra Light Settings ----------------------------------------------- Enable Light - When selected, this enables you to use ASUS Extra Light Technolohy. Red Light - Increasing the red value of the additional spotlight. Green Light - Increasing the green value of the additional spotlight. Blue Light - Increasing the blue value of the additional spotlight. Light Cone - Increasing the size of self-defined light cone of the additional spotlight. Direction X - Controlling the horzontal direction of the additional spotlight. Direction Y - Controlling the vertical direction of the additional spotlight. ASUS D3D Games Limitations with VR enabled ----------------------------------------------- 1. Star War II Game : when users enter menu, the screen will shrink into the half size. 2. Rally Game : When playing this game, the screen will flick with VR enabled. ASUS Stereoscopic Driver for OpenGL ------------------------------------ Important notes before you start to play STEREO games: 1. You must select higher resolutions for stereo modes. For example, 1280x960 -> 640x480 stereo mode 1280x1024 -> 640x480 stereo mode 1600x900 -> 800x600 stereo mode 1600x1200 -> 800x600 stereo mode 2048x1536 -> 1024x768 stereo mode (16-bit color only) 2. ViewAngle is the parameter for the feeling of depth. The larger Embossment value will make objects run out of screen. Release Notes ------------------------------------- 6.31 Beta 1: * Fix "no stereo objects" bug when applications do not call glFrustum(). 6.18 Beta 1: * Modify the settings of NVIDIA registry when OpenGL VR can be turned on. 5.22 Beta 3: * Fix crack bug in MDK2 3.66 Beta 1: * Fix Quake3 bug in V3800 * Now support V3400/V3800 models * Fix GPF issue after exiting specific applications 3.62 Beta 8: * Fix wrong string on OSD 3.62 Beta 6: * Add OpenGL OSD(On Screen Display) and update schemes for games. * Fix switching mode issue. 3.62 Beta 5: * Add Unreal/Unreal Tournament engine support. 3.62 Beta 4: * Add Embossment support. You can see the objects go out of screen. * Fix Half-Life back-to-menu issue. 3.62 Beta 2: * First release and support Quake2/Quake3 engine games. Notes/Known issues for specific games ------------------------------------- Limitation for all applications: 1. If your application uses the characters composed of thin lines, the characters could be fuzzy/unreadable when you turn on stereoscopic mode. 2. Currently ASUS AGP-V3400TNT user is recommended to use 1280x960/1280x1024 16-bit color mode as stereoscopic mode due to less available video memory. MDK 2: Limitation 1. You must select either "Use block transfer" of Buffer flipping mode option or "Always off" of Vertical sync option on the OpenGL page of display properties- Advanced-Advanced-OpenGL. Otherwise you will see flashing triangles on playing scene. 3D Pipes Screen Saver: Limitation 1. There will be black screen when you set Pipe option to "Multiple". Quake 2: Limitation 1. You must select either "Use block transfer" of Buffer flipping mode option or "Always off" of Vertical sync option on the OpenGL page of display properties- Advanced-Advanced-OpenGL. Otherwise you will see flashing triangles on playing scene. Quake 3: Limitaion 1. The model for player is showed once(on the image of one eye) when you enter "Control" menu of Quake 3. 2. Note for V3400 users: Please select "Vertex" in Setup\System\Graphics\Lighting option of Quake 3 menu for less texture usage. Unreal Tourament: 1. Please select "Double" option in MENU "Options-Preferences-Video-Font Size" Unreal: Wheel of Time: 1. There are some garbage lines around the boundary of screen. Half-Life: SiN: Heretic II: No known issue. 85 ASUS subsys'd NVIDIA desktop GPUs supported.
