Full Version: Will Dolphin ever get 3D support again?

Recently I bought a 3DTV and for the most part every game works with it that isn't a emulator.
I decided to try it with the latest Dolphin and to start off with it wasn't working and then as soon as I got to character select in Mario Kart it started to work. Get in game and it doesn't work. That kind of issue is more on the side of the Tridef3D program itself I think though.

I looked at past threads and posts about 3D and found out that older versions had a 3D vision check-box, which apparently makes the 3D work. However with all these older versions of Dolphin my controllers and keyboard stop working as soon as I go full screen, even when I'm not using Tridef3D

I know not everybody has a 3D TV but it's definitely an awesome feature. It partially works with the latest Dolphin, but that's it.

On that note, does anybody else use their 3D tv or had issues with Dolphins past 3D support and know any workarounds?

How do I build/download that to work with my version of Dolphin?
A pull request is a feature being reviewed for Dolphin; you probably just have to wait a little bit before it's completed.

There are test builds for Windows and Linux; though, for example: https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-1439-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

Where do I go to post error logs for it? I tried it with a few games and all came out with the same error

Code:
Geometry shader failed to compile with the following errors:
ERROR: 1:39: error(#148) "[" array must be redeclared with a size before being indexed with a variable
ERROR: error(#273) 1 compilation errors.  No code generated

Also what's the difference between this version of 3D stereoscopic view and the previous one that Dolphin allowed you to enable? Is it just that the other was DX9?
I don't use 3D TV, but Dolphin is incredibly functional with 3D Vision.

You must use DX11 mode, I believe you must use a resolution that is a multiple of the IR, and make sure borderless fullscreen is disabled in the graphics options.

If you enable 3D and boot into the game with those settings, it should work for any game it works for.

I have a big album of Dolphin games I tested with example screenshots available here

There is no DX11 mode in the latest versions, only Direct3D.
The issue for me is not broken 3D but only selective or no 3D at all.
I'm viewing the games in fullscreen with Tridef 3D and whilst it says 3D is enabled, nothing is 3D. I also for some reason can't go into Tridefs menus because nothing happens when I use their shortcuts.

How do I enable 3D with the latest versions of Dolphin? Or are you using an older version?
If you could link the version you're using or a zip of your Dolphin files that would be great.

D3D and Directx 11 are the same thing, they just renamed it after removing dx9.

Thanks, but that still doesn't answer the other questions towards him.
Crystalwolf: Your video card has a driver bug which causes the geometry shader to fail, I believe?

For Tri-def to work in Master, you need to rename Dolphin to some other program that uses 3D in the system because it's stupid and doesn't detect it.
