Sam, I do believe you can get the "3D Photomaster" to work, if you
have the VR-97 hardware. It attaches to the VGA port on your computer.
The trick is to get your video board to display in an interlaced mode.
For many newer video boards it may require some tinkering to get an
interlaced mode. If you do then the VR-97 will synchronize with it,
and "Bobs your uncle". You should then be able to use DepthCharge to
display JPS files as interlaced and view them with the "3D Photomaster"
glasses.

If that does not work you can find lots of tips and help at
Bungert's 3-D VR games page.
