That's a start but what about side-by-side?

ATM, there's no such feature implemented in Dolphin and no interest to add one.

I hope the interest grows, it would be a great feature.

Don'y you need a Nvidia 3D Vision graphics card for that? I have one

For certain types of 3d vision yes, but anaglyph might not need it.

3D vision requires a Nvidia graphics card w/ 3D vision + 3D vision kit + 120Hz 3D monitor, and that's expensive.

Any pc can have anaglyph. But what I thought would be possible was to somehow use the programing for the anaglyph and make it a side-by-side render that would make dolphin 3d stereo for every system that runs it on a 3d TV without the need of all the 3D vision stuff.

I have a PC with 3D Vision built in.

Has anyone tried the iZ3D driver, it supports side by side but only works with 32-bit dolphin. Also they are shutting down so there will be no support but you can still download and try it for 30 days, it's a shame that such a great driver will be getting buried.

As for nvidia's 3D vision, it also supports certain passive monitors that use cheap polarized glasses, if yours isn't supported then you can follow this guide and make it work but be careful, overriding the monitor EDID is risky.

Nvidia already supports a lot of 3DTVs (both active and passive). You just have to buy a special driver from nvidia called "3DTV play" for $40: http://store.nvidia.com/DRHM/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&SiteID=nvidia&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=206491300&&resid=dFOdrAoBAkYAAGkhJRgAAAAr&rests=1313087948456

You don't have to do anything crazy like overriding the EDID to get 3D vision working on your 3DTV.

I wouldn't exaggerate, the guide I linked worked for me and many others, it's just safer to backup the current EDID.

[NaturalViolence]

You don't you're going a bit overboard by doing that instead of just getting the 3DTV play driver?

[guru64]

You do have a point but the guide also really does work, it's just not for newbs I guess.
