#Playstation emulator mac powerpc driver

OpenGL 3.x from which opensource driver is supported? because on powerpc platform at the moment we can вЂњonlyвЂќ count on opensource video driver.

Not to mention we now require OpenGL 3.x and IвЂ™m not sure how many PowerPC hosts support thatвЂ¦ It would be a massive undertaking with how large our codebase is. I looked towards gaining support for big endian in Dolphin a few years ago and it immediately hit roadblock after roadblock with big endian support.

The Dolphin emulator makes assumptions /everywhere/ in the code that it is running on a little endian machine. Yesterday after published this post and wrote on the dolphin forum a Dolphin Developer answer me, I thank you very much for his quick answer:

In the future why not virtualize with a proper powerpc cpu PS3, xbox 360 and WiiU.Дo you like to port Dolphin Emulator to powerpc architecture? If Yes we can build a group of people that will do that. Over that nowadays it is possible to buy cheap used powerpc G4/G5 machines with NVIDIA or ATI video card, so I think make sense to port Dolphin to Powerpc architecture and thanks to the virtualization of kvm on powerpc ( as demonstrated on my previous post ) we will play virtualized game powerpc console like GameCube and Wii. Nowadays we have acube system powerpc pc, a-eon powerpc amigaone x 1000 and soon Servergy will produce pcubed powerpc devkit. On the Powerpc world itвЂ™s possible to use ATI GPU so there are not problem on GPU performance.Д«ut at the moment I have not received any answer, so I wrote on the dolphin forum There is anyone that is trying to compile dolphin-emu for powerpc architecture?ДЄs I have read well doplhin-emulator need much RAM, a powerful GPU and CPU.ДЄ powerful CPU is needed for the emulation, but with a powerpc CPU I think that dolphin-emu with kvm dosenвЂ™t need to emulate the CPU and doesnвЂ™t need a powerful CPU. Ten days ago I have wrote this mail to one of the Dolphin emulator team: ItвЂ™s funny because nowadays Dolphin doesnвЂ™t work on powerpc architecture, very funny!!! ItвЂ™s funny because on gnu/linux for powerpc we can simply virtualize the GameCube/Wii powerpc processor with kvm and in this way we donвЂ™t need so powerful machine for emulate the powerpc processor. ItвЂ™s very funny that there is a open source project ( Dolphin ) and a package for gnu/linux that emulate Nintendo GameCube and Wii and work only for x86 architecture with a uge work of emulation of powerpc Wii/GameCube processor.
