Merge an endless story. The branch name is a lie, it was started as glsl, but now it is a complete reworked opengl3 backend. It just began with simple changes which aren't supported on osx. They either support ogl2 OR ogl3 core, but mixing isn't allowed. As the branch name says, the vicious circle starts with GLSL, but just implementing one wasn't possible either: - OSX supports only GLSL100 which doesn't support our shaders. - Vertex Array Objects are needed for ogl3, but not supported on ogl2 - immediate mode isn't supported any more, so we must implement vertex buffers - uniform buffers are recommended as else we would need tons glUniform - postprocessing shaders have to be converted to glsl - lots of smaller outdated issues and bug fixes :-) Thanks at all for testing and at Sonic for converting all of our shaders to glsl130 And sorry for all upcoming bugs...
Dolphin-emu - The Gamecube / Wii Emulator
==========================================
Homesite: http://dolphin-emu.org/
Project Site: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu
Dolphin-emu is a emulator for Gamecube, Wii, Triforce that lets
you run Wii/GCN/Tri games on your Windows/Linux/Mac PC system.
Open Source Release under GPL 2
Project Leaders: F|RES, ector
Team members: http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/people/
Please read the FAQ before use:
http://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/
System Requirements:
* OS: Microsoft Windows (XP/Vista or higher) or Linux or Apple Mac OS X (10.6 or higher).
Windows XP x64 is NOT supported.
* Processor: Fast CPU with SSE2 supported (recommended at least 2Ghz).
Dual Core for speed boost.
* Graphics: Any reasonably modern graphics card (Direct3D9/OpenGL 2.1, shader model 3.0).
[Command line usage]
Usage: Dolphin [-h] [-d] [-l] [-e <str>] [-b] [-V <str>] [-A <str>]
-h, --help Show this help message
-d, --debugger Opens the debugger
