Suggestion - OpenGL renderer #381

Closed RinMaru closed 7 years ago

RinMaru commented 7 years ago

so any plans for this?

p1pkin commented 7 years ago

but why ?

jmodlin210 commented 7 years ago

i want opengl renderer for demul to make graphics and image look smooth.

RinMaru commented 7 years ago

well it would make it easier on linux through wine, its supported on more systems, its arguably easier to use, and faster some might say.

p1pkin commented 7 years ago

sorry, but dev. team have no people interested in Linux. in my opinion OpenGL is sort of "dead end" API, can't see good reasons to use it in 2016. also it is MUCH (5x - 10x) slower than Direct3D11 in "Order Independent Translucency" implementations which had Dreamcast/NAOMI/etc PowerVR2 GPU and required for it's correct emulation..

anyways thanks for your answers. i plan to use this if reicast don't get proper windows gui and gamepad support. plus Demul seems to have a dedicated team not letting it die.

p1pkin commented 7 years ago

welcome. sorry to say but during last 2-3 years old team members is almost inactive, so everything was developed by single person in latest v0.7 releases...

RinMaru commented 7 years ago

thats sad to hear U_U i just hope the best because this has been in dev for a good while and i tested it while nulldc was in dev. so i have hopes this pulls through because allot of dc emus are dead. Redream and Reicast are all thats left besides Demul.
