I finally tested my dual V-Taps on my Virtual Boy using two VGA-to-HDMI converters and a four-screen multiscreen mixer to create a side-by-side image. I ran it on an older 1080p Samsung 3D TV with active 3D glasses, and after some tweaking to the brightness and 3D settings, I had the 3D playing really we

• Dual V-Taps → preserves true left/right eye signals (no fake depth)
• 2× VGA → HDMI converters → keeps both signals digital and in sync
• 4-screen multiscreen mixer → proper side-by-side composition
• 1080p Samsung active-3D TV → real frame-sequential 3D instead of anaglyph
• Manual brightness + depth tuning → critical for VB’s high-contrast visuals

Glad to see you got it working on your end.

I was having trouble with ghosting on my passive 3D screen and saw much better results when I went the old school red and blue method instead.

Thanks VB95, Im curious have to try the red and blue route. I had to adjust the brightness, backlight,3d depth and contrast to eliminate the ghosting. Also that new samsung 3d monitor that doesn’t require glasses is on my radar just waiting for the 32” hopefully the hype is real 🤞🏻.
Happy New year!!

Do you have a recommendation for the VGA to HDMI converter specifically?
What does the converter output with the VB’s 800×600 image?

Levine91,

For VGA to HDMI conversion, I am using the eKL AV/BNC + VGA to VGA + HDMI Converter with 3.5mm Audio Port.

If you want to be able to achieve a 3D output to the TV, you’ll need 2 VGA Virtual Taps, 2 of the VGA to HDMI adapters, and an HDMI Switch that supports 2×1 SBS or TB PiP mode. For that, I am using the Groz Store HDMI Multiviewer Switch 4×1 Seamless Switching Quad Multi-Viewer.

You want to set the mode to either Mode 2 for TB or Mode 3 for SBS. Make sure it is set to Stretch to fill the entire screen. Then you would just set your TV to either TB 3D Mode or SBS 3D Mode.

If you are having issues getting the 3D TV to cancel out each view correctly on your TV, you can go the old Red/Blue analogue route by setting the Tap Output Color Left View to Red and Right View to Blue. For that you would obviously also need a pair of Red/Blue 3D Glasses for viewing.

Please note, that the 3D method requires you to have a 3D TV/Monitor that supports manual TB and/or SBS mode. You will not be able to be able to do 3D (even the analogue method) on a regular TV.

Hope this helps anyone looking to achieve a similar setup.

how did you fit 2 virtual taps in the housing?
