3D Vision fix for The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky. The fix needs dgVoodoo to convert DX8 into DX11, instead of using the DX9 version which has some issues. I'll make a fix for the other two games in the trilogy at a later date.
Fixed
- Stereoized picture in pause menus.
- Some elements that were wrongfully in 2D in DX9 are in 3D in DX11.
Installation
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "The Legend of Heroes - Trails in the Sky" folder, where "ed6_win.exe" is.
- Download the latest dgVoodoo 2 release or WIP version here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html
- From inside its "MS" folder, copy "D3D8.dll", "D3DImm.dll" and "DDraw.dll" into the game folder.
- Open "dgVoodooCpl.exe" and configure it like this, for example, tuning the resolution and some other settings to your liking (I use "Force point sampled" texture filtering to get a more retro look):
- Currently, Steam and GOG Galaxy boot the DX9 version of the game by default. To change that, rename "Config_DX9.exe" to something else and rename "Config.exe" to "Config_DX9.exe". This way, you playtime and achievements will be tracked.
- Then, configure the game like this but for your resolution or the graphics settings you want:
- Next, I recommend using RTSS to limit the fps to 60, because otherwise the game will stutter. The game has perfect movement and animations to 62.5 and 125 fps. At 60fps, there will be some slight judder, but forcing 3D Vision at 125Hz is a bit annoying and has worse image quality results even if it's 100% smooth, at least on 1440p G-Sync/ULMB monitors, because they don't use Lightboost at that refresh rate (only ULMB or no strobing).
- Boot the game and play.
Hotkeys
- F1 or XB_RIGHT_THUMB: five convergence presets.
- F2 or XB_LEFT_THUMB: HUD depth presets. It may apply some extra depth in a small subset of geometry elements.
- F3: Y axis variable HUD depth presets (tilting).
- F4: HUD toggle.
- F5: black bars toggle (for cutscenes and end of battles). Zero drawbacks.
