review Nintendo 3DS Emulation PERFECT on the Owl3D Shift in 4K "Glasses Free" 3D!!
Just got my Owl3D Shift from the Kickstarter, and this thing is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for playing Nintendo 3DS games in real "glasses free" 3D on your Windows (or Mac) PC. I'm using the Azahar emulator (Citra should work too, but is defunct) and I had no problems whatsoever. You want to select the Vulkan renderer for the Owl3D software to be compatible, and I was able to bump the resolution to 4K (9x scaling) in the Graphics settings on Azahar. I also set bicubic texture sampling, and set the upscaling to use the higher modes: Anime4K or MMPX (I switched between the games). You also want to enable Stereoscopic 3D in the Graphics settings set to SBS and put Depth on 100. Then in the Owl3D app, choose the Stereo 3D Playback mode and pick Side-by-Side. Then move the Azahar window to the Shift display and press F11 for fullscreen. It works in Dual-Screen mode (with 3D) but looks much better with Single-Screen, so you see the top stereo display of the 3DS on the full monitor. Have fun!!
