3D Vision fix for SEGA Mega Drive & Genesis Classics. It includes useful extra features.
Fixed
- Thanks to DarkStarSword's Unity template and some little tweaks done by me, the game room is now fixed. This game uses Unity 2017.
- The emulator screen is now stereoized in fullscreen mode.
- Added scaling features.
Installation
- Download this file and extract its contents in the "Sega Classics" folder, where "SEGAGameRoom.exe" is.
- Launch the game, but not using the old game launcher. You need to use the virtual game room, which runs in DirectX 11. Make sure you're running it in fullscreen.
- IMPORTANT: after the room has loaded, press F5 to fix some shadows (pressing it again will break them again. It's a toggle). I couldn't find a way to not depend on a hotkey. You need to do this every time you boot the game or every time you press F10 to restore default settings. But after that, the game is perfect.
Scaling features
Sega published this new virtual room recently, but there's something I missed compared to emulators like RetroArch: more scaling options. To be specific, perfect integer scaling. With the number keys from 6 to 9 you unlock and use these features that I made.
First of all, your aspect ratio has to be 4:3 or wider. My code can't handle correctly aspect ratio less wide than this.
My scaling options are made to only work when you use the emulator in fullscreen unless you press the "9" key. If you use that, you can affect the game room TV image, with funny results like this.
The first and simplest thing you need to do to make the emulator use a size and aspect ratio that is a perfect multiple of the native resolution of the console, just press the "6" key. The rest of keys are just extras.
With the first "7" key press, the emulator screen size is divided by 3 or 4 (the first it can find that is a perfect divisor), and with the second press you put the game at native resolution. Keep in mind that you need the "6" key too to achieve pixel perfection.
The "8" key is probable more interesting that the previous one. This one is about manual native resolution multipliers (remember that it depends on the "6" key too for perfect pixels) in case you want to play at some specific sizes. It goes one by one from x1 to x10. After that, it goes back to default. You can cycle backwards with shift + 8.
Hotkeys (the numbers are not from the numpad)
- F1 or XB_RIGHT_THUMB: convergence presets. One of them will put the emulator screen at screen depth when you use fullscreen mode.
- F4 or XB_LEFT_THUMB: bloom presets that are in this order x0, x0.5, x1, x1.5, x2, x3, x4. The default preset is x1.
- 6: integer scaling toggle. Not used by default.
- 7: emulator image divisors (/3 or /4, and then native resolution). Not used by default.
- 8: native resolution multipliers. Not used by default.
- 9: this toggle unlocks emulator image modifications in the game room.
