Is Canal + Classic Billar supported in 3d stereo?

[rogerty]

Hello,

I want to get a license ONLY if this game is supported and has 3d stereo view.

It’s an old french billiard (carom, 3 balls) game, really really accurate and good; Serious business…

Can someone test it please ?

Thanks a lot !!!

Finally ! I succeeded; The instructions, if anybody is interested are as follows:

– Download dgVoodoo2_81_3 from here: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/ReadmeGeneral/ (*)
* Note: make sure you use http:// at the url, because in many browsers I have to change it from https to http, because it changes automatically for some unknown reason.

Also, it’s not related to VR but those instructions are also necessary to run this program on Windows 10:

Before you run the game, create a preparebillar.cmd file with the following lines and run it as administrator:

cd c:
cd “C:\Program Files (x86)\CANAL+\CANAL+ CLASSIC BILLAR”
cd Divers
del FS_Device
del FS_Driver
del FS_Mode
pause

Continuing with the VR stuff, now copy the following files (without including its folders) from the folder you had decompressed dgVodoo, to the folder where the main executable for the game is installed, for example in “C:\Program Files (x86)\CANAL+\CANAL+ CLASSIC BILLAR\CCBillard.exe”:

dgVoodooCpl.exe
All files inside the “MS\x86” folder: D3D8.dll, D3D9.dll, D3DImm.dll, DDraw.dll
All files inside the “3Dfx\x86” folder: Glide.dll, Glide2x.dll, Glide3x.dll

Next, open the configure Vorpx dialog and download the cloud profile named “Aliens vs. Predator 2 (DGVoodoo2) – Z3D” and change its executable to point to CCBillard.exe and rename its local profile to “Canal + Classic Billar” and apply the changes.
Run the preparebillar.cmd as administrator.

Finally, open your VR Headset e.g. Quest 2, connect to link, show the desktop and run the program CCBillard.exe as administrator from its folder (the desktop shortcut method does not seem to be working): A message will appear with a warning that a third party DLL (from dgVoodooCpl) has been detected; minimize all temporarily, find again that message and click on accept; Then return to the game.

When you accept from inside the game the initial proposed resolution, it should then attach to vorpx and launch it in VR.

Tips: you can also use RivaTunerStatisticsServer that comes with MSI Afterburner to show the api level used by the game, that should display Directx 11 if dgVoodooCpl.exe is working properly.
