The Next Generation of Consoles

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/The Next Generation of Consoles

I don't think the openXDK supports 3D at all. I did a quick look in the forum, and one of the newest posts suggested that no one has been able to access the GPU.

3d is more of a wish than a planned implementation, I'm afraid. No one's reverse engineered how to interface with the GPU, the result being only official XDK compiled XBEs have 3d acceleration.

That being said I hacked together a proof of concept port of Mesa, a software rendering GL library. You can find it at:

with example code here:

I'm actually about to revisit this source and see what more I can do with it; expect a better release soon


so it doesn't look all that promising.
