Native OpenGL Quad Buffer

OpenGL (Quad-Buffer)

✅ Partially Working. The OpenGL wrapper is a native-stereo passthrough, not an injector. It consumes the game's quad-buffer stereo output (PFD_STEREO / GL_BACK_LEFT / GL_BACK_RIGHT) and composites it into whichever modern stereo output you pick (SBS, TAB, SR Weave, interlaced, etc.).

How the wrapper works

• HglGetBooleanv forces GL_STEREO → TRUE so the game thinks it has a quad-buffer context (S3DWrapperOGL/Modified.cpp:316-319).
• HwglSetPixelFormat strips PFD_STEREO from the request before passing it to the OS when EmulateQB=1 (shipped default) — this is what lets us run on any GPU, not just real quad-buffer hardware (Modified.cpp:343-350).
• The game calls glDrawBuffer(GL_BACK_LEFT) / GL_BACK_RIGHT during its own stereo render path.
• S3DWrapperOGL/Renderer.cpp routes those per-eye draws separately, then composites at swap-buffer time.
• 0.4.0 unified the OpenGL wrapper with the DX output-mode naming (SR Weave default where supported).

Requires the game to be QB-aware. This wrapper will NOT turn a mono-only OpenGL title into stereo. idTech 3 / 4 lineage games (RtCW, Quake 3 engine, Doom 3 engine) typically are QB-aware; ZDoom-based GZDoom-derived titles depend on configuration; several emulators are QB-aware. See each game's notes column below.

Config

wiz3D_Config.xml has an <EmulateQB Value="1"/> knob — leave it at 1 unless you have real quad-buffer hardware (rare). The wrapper logs GL_STEREO-state diagnostics to wiz3D_Logs/OpenGLQuadBufferStereo.log; GL_STEREO=0 there means the game never requested QB and nothing to capture.

Install path

OpenGL-Quad-Buffer-Stereo/32-bit/ or /64-bit/. Copy the contents next to the game's .exe.

Games

Checking the 3D/VR Compatibility Database for a given title tells you how to enable its native stereo mode (console command, config flag, etc.).
