OpenGL Cores

[RobLoach]

Allow running OpenGL cores, like Mupen64.

Could use SDLArch as a model for how to set up tthe contexts: https://github.com/heuripedes/sdlarch

GLFW needs to evolve a little, see

• Expose glfwGetProcAddress in Context go-gl/glfw#234
• go-flutter-desktop/go-flutter@master...GeertJohan:feature/add-gl-proc-resolver-via-go-gl-glfw
• Add GetProcAddress go-gl/glfw#238

I've updated the GL PR

This would be awesome addition since im reallt looking forward to the new playcast Dreamcast Emulator and Nintendo 64. I'm super excited about this!

[kivutar]

We have a branch with almost all the changes required for this. For some reasons it's crashing. It's a bit over my level.
I would need the help of somebody who knows GL well. And it would help too if they finally merged this GLFW 3.3 branch into go-glfw...

[johnnyq]

with the latest commit f8c7d8f

does this mean we can have OpenGL cores like n64 and Dreamcast because if so we shall rejoice =]

[kivutar]

We shall not yet rejoice, it's a good step forward but some work is still needed.. :)

[johnnyq]

ah I got ya, sooo close though. Man this project is almost perfected!

[kivutar]

Some progress on this, now when launching ppsspp, it will try to compile the shaders and fail because not being able to append the prelude to the shaders.

[kivutar]

This is now somewhat working on Windows and Linux

[johnnyq]

This is going to be good, any chance of a new LudOS with updated cores?

Whats the progress on this for n64?
I just downloaded this and like it but it doesn't have n64 support.

[kivutar]

The progress was that we needed to merge 2 branches:

• one that works around the threading issue with Go
• one that allows GL core

Both branches introduce regression or make the code uglier. I'm not 100% sure if I will merge them.
