Compute renderer

[antoniodesousa]

What would you like to see?

Hi @JesseTG, since the compute renderer was officially added to MelonDS last week, I was wondering if there's any plans to add it to this core as well? Thanks.

Terms

• I agree to follow the code of conduct.
• I understand that melonDS DS is not developed or maintained by the authors of melonDS.
• I understand that the author develops this core in his spare time, and that he is under no obligation to respond to this feature request.

Yes, I intend to add support for it. There are a bunch of things I need to do first, however:

1. Get all existing tests passing with libretro.py (which also entails developing libretro.py itself)
2. Fix the backlog of bugs that's accumulated since I started working on libretro.py
3. Update melonDS itself
4. Then integrate the compute-shader renderer (on platforms where it's available)

With some unrelated IRL stuff and unexpected-but-necessary upstream contributions sprinkled in there, too.
