Posting this here since I posted it in the GLDirect thread and got no response: Can someone please help me figure out how to install this GLDirect? I downloaded it, extracted the zip, and have no idea what to do with all these folders and no install .exe. Thanks

Download GLdirect from here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gldirect/files/
open the rar file and inside go to gldirect5\bin\release, then extract the opengl32.dll to the installation directory of your game, not the main directory, but the place where your exe file is. Now run the game and that's it.

I'll try this when I get home. Thank you really appreciate it.

Just curious... What's all the other stuff included in that download for???

You're welcome, I hope it works for whichever game you intend on playing.
I think that this is the source code for GLdirect, so that's what the other files are for.

I'm hoping to play American Mcgee's Alice with it. I posted the results of trying a different wrapper in the GLDirect thread - It had issues and I couldn't get it to work. Hopefully I'll have better success with this one.

Well with this one I can run Alice, but since it is the package version with madness return I can't seem to disable the hud in any way and it is currently buggy. I do have the original non-bundled, but I've played through it once and then I started on nightmare mode, which was pure torture, I just don't feel like going through this again :D

By "buggy" you mean the health and whatever the blue bar is, right? It doesn't have anything to do with being a bundled version. I tried it last night and I'm using an original Alice install. The health bar renders directly on top of Alice, and the blue bar is slightly to the right at a different depth. Darn, what a shame, if the 3D was working properly it would allow me to stomach the dated graphics enough to play this one through...

No, I meant that with the bundled alice the commands for disabling the hud, which work with all Quake 3 engine games, don't work. Otherwise you are right, doesn't matter which version you install, the end result is the same, the difference is whether you can or can't disable the hud.

I got Descent 2 working under Windows 7 64bit last night. Screenshots attached, brought back some real memories :-)
It took a while, but in the end the following worked for me:
(a) Need original Descent 2 CD to extract data files from
(b) Installed "d2x-rebirth_v0.57.1-win"
(c) Follow instructions with that and extract data files from CD to the directory it tells you to
(d) It all works great in 2D and runs about 120FPS (see my rig below)
(e) Get hold of GLDirect
(f) Extract opengl32.dll into the directory where the d2x-rebirth exe is
(g) Fire up game and it magically works in S3D!
The game looks exactly like it used to, but I had forgotten how good the gameplay and addictiveness of this game is :-)
The stereo rendering is great. HUD is all 2D, and is unaffected by depth or convergence settings (actually a good thing), but the game allows the hud to be turned of, and also the targeting reticule can be turned off. I then used the nvidia crosshair. Also the hud-view of the missile is also rendered correctly in S3D - pretty cool.
Note:
- I could not get this working in S3D with d2x-xl (a different wrapper for Descent 1 and 2)
- d2x-xl looks nicer as it has hires textures and so on, but..
- 2D performance with d2x-xl is also really bad: when an explosion occurs, framerates drop to about 10 FPS. I Googled this and found it to be a common problem. Ways to improve things basically mean turning off all the extra
candy and detail, but even then performance dipped during explosions. Since blowing stuff is the point of the game, it ruins the fluidity of gameplay for me.
- I tried titanium-gl as well, but could not get S3D working with either d2x-rebirth or d2x-xl.

As mentioned before, I have the original Alice installed... Tried disabling the HUD last night through the config file but nothing changed. I can't get the health, etc.. bars to go away. It's really frustrating because it looks great otherwise. I'm trying this on the latest beta drivers, so it's possible they have something to do with it I suppose... Figured I'd try it again once another driver release happens. After all, the OP listed Alice in the first post. Curious though, was that as in "Everything works great," or was that an Nvidia rating standard of "We turned it on and it showed stereo, therefore, 3D Vision Ready!"?

Thanks everybody involved in getting old GL games running with 3DVision.
I'm able to get Descent 1 to run (rebirth version), 3DVision works instantly with no fuss with ghe GLdirect dll dropped in, but couldn't install D2 on my Win 7 64 bit to extract the HOG etc files. So...any idea how to get an unarj freebie to unpack the D2 data file on Win7 64 ? Or any alternative to get the HOG etc...files out of my original D2 CD ? Thanks guys.

Edit: never mind. Just found out SOW file can be unpacked by winrar and 7zip. Will try to get one of these util later.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood, that is too bad...oh well there's always Madness, though the original was much better.

Really? You think the first one was better? I can't even imagine that, because I thought Madness was a masterpiece. A frustrating masterpiece, but a masterpiece nonetheless.
