Play DX9 games on Helixvision with DGVooDoo2..

[The_Nephilim1]

Hey Guys,

I think I cracked this problem of some DX9 games not working with Helixvision. The main trick is to use DGVooDoo 2 that changes older DX games to DX11.

here is the link to DGVooDoo 2 it is just a bunch of files and you install them into where the Game exe is located and voila DX11 game. I am not sure but I think they had an option to go from DX12 to DX11 which could help in some cases as well.

I found out you can upconvert the version of Direct X well I actually new about DGVooDoo for over a decade but it never clicked until last night. I then used current 3D Migoto to do the fix as the old fix will not work as it is now a DX11 game..

having done 2 conversions Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Revengance. so the good thing is we can get some games that were DX9 to work with Helixvision that previosly did not. the bad news is they may need a new fix.

If you want the link I can link the 2 fixes here if anybody wants to try them out of fix it to a better state as in FFXIII the shadows are a bit broke and I just disabled them.

So if you have any questions let me know and I will try and answer them to best of my hackerskills allow.. LOL!! ;)


Here is the fix for Metal Gear Revengance:

FFXIII, now has a home on the Helixmod blog found here, I will update the files as to make the fix work better for Helixvision..

Thanks for the fixes I am gonna try FF.
Btw, could you take a look at DOA5? It is one of those games that helixVision won`t work on. I think there is a free demo of the game.

[The_Nephilim1]

hey your welcome hope it works smoothly for you.. the main char has a one eye issue I cant seem to fix.

If there is a demo I can look at DOA5 let me check the games list..

EDIT Is this game Dead or Alive 5 Last round??

[Abang]

Yes. DOA5 Last Round.
Btw, I too have a left eye problem with the ff13 mod. The left doesn`t render the skin shader. All skins in the left eye are black on my end kinda weird...could it have have something to do with the universal unreal engine fix?

But otherwise the 3D did trigger looks awesome nice mod.

EDIT: I forgot to ask is it normal that you lose FPS in battles with the mod? I went from something like 60 fps to 30 or so.

[The_Nephilim1]

Does FFXIII use the Unreal Engine? I thought it used Crystal? I was trying to fix that but not sure what to do about it, I did ask in the Discord channel but have not gotten a responce back..

I am unsure why you loose fps in battles I do not play the game just fixed it sorry.. but maybe check vsync and other issues like that? Especially in the Helixvision program.


EDIT: I was able to get it working, I am going to test it but 3D migoto has not yet kicked in so hopefully the game is not broke 3D wise ;)

@ABang, here is the fix for DOA5, now Sanctuary water is screwed up looks like a reflection fix Sorry but I cant fix those so other then I can delete the water in the part they fight that is all I can do it is left alone.

Also the HUD/UI can be put into Depth with the Right Bracket Key " ] ".. other then a couple little things here and there I did not see much wrong with this fix besides the water in Sanctuary..

If you see other things that need fixing let me know I will look but my skills are limited in Migoto..

Enjoy'

Thanks I will hopefully try the DOA5 patch soon. You are right it has nothing to do with unreal engine because they use the crystal engine. Kinda sad that the shader for the left eye didn`t work. I will have to try some helixvision settings then.

[The_Nephilim1]

well I mnade a post in the Discord channel but no answers yet, I did see a few things in my google search I tried it but seems to have been the wrong code to use or I missed an importan trick lol..

The DOA5 came out a bit better not much was broke.. I can take a look at the original fix but not sure it will reveal much..

I hope you enjoy the DOA5 fix..

[Abang]

Yep, thank you the fix did work great. On the beach level when I tested if the backdrop is the ocean the halo effect which encompasses the character is broken on one eye i guess the left one? otherwise besides some water problem the fix is truly nice :P

Are there any other hotkeys to set separation and convergence?

[The_Nephilim1]

Your Welcome glad it worked for you.. the seperation for convergence and seperation are CTRL and F3+F4 for seperation and CTRL F5+F6 For convergance.. it should be listed in the settings for helixvision incase you want to change them but that should be the default keys for it..

[The_Nephilim1]

@Abang, I have a updated fix for DOA5, the halo in the water and lens flare is fixed. let me know if you see any issues and the map it is on thank you.

here is the new updated link for DOA5:

[Abang]

Wow, thanks for the new update gonna try it soon, btw I applied the new geo-11 mod on your mods but whenever I started the game I got a blackscreen, do you have the same problem? Normally if it works correctly you will have the game in TAB format and everything is visible. Maybe a certain setting is needed on the dgvodoo mod?

[The_Nephilim1]

Your Welcome hope you like it.. Is the blackscreen in the vr headset or on the desktop monitor? if it is black all together could be the geo 11 mod.. not sure I have not tried geo 11 yet no need to as I have a 1070GTX..

[The_Nephilim1]

Hey all, I have a small update for FFXIII, altho the NPC's are still broke I did fix the text between missions which is ledgable now.. I am really gonna have to dig into how to fix the NPC skin color.. well here is the new fix:

Hey Abang, I had reinstalled Win 10 and now when I start DOA5 I get stuck on the begining screen. now I got past it before by pressing the B button on my gamepad now I press it and it does not procede forward.

I was wondering if you know how to fix this issue or procede past that screen. I googled but nothing they said works I am confused as it worked before? wierd game for sure.. haha!!

[Abang]

try the configurator first. so that it can create an ini file. use fullscreen mode. After that I start the game from game.exe

You mean you have the dreaded controller not detected problem?
maybe this might help?
