Dolphin Emulator: Any OpenGL 2.X Support for ATI Radeon x1270 Graphics Card?
Ok. So here's the deal. I have been wanting to use the Dolphin emulator for some time now. Problem is it won't run properly. I have installed all the necessary run-times & redistributable packages. So it all boils down to is my graphics card. I realize that the dolphin emulator project has essentially abandoned updating the DirectX9 plug-in for a long time now. It has become useless now and is dead until someone bothers to update it. So that only leaves the OpenGL 2.X plug-in. Problem is most graphics cards on computers don't support OpenGL. Here are my system specs: Model: Gateway M-Series 1625 Laptop (Purchased spring 2008) CPU: AMD Turion x2 (dual core) (with EMT64 support x64) RAM: 2GB OS: Vista 32-Bit GPU: ATI Radeon x1270 (I am angry at myself for not getting HD series, but I was stupid then, and didn't know the difference) At any rate, when I go the ATI website to find info on my graphics card it's not there...WTF??? It's like it doesn't even exist. So here I am....I NEED TO KNOW IF MY GRAPHICS CARD SUPPORTS THE OPENGL 2.0 SPECIFICATION....If so, then I would appreciate any relevant links, or information....I am sure you will be helping out more people than just me by answering this question....I wan't to play Wind Waker really bad.... Also if there is no hope for me....could you recommend desktop specs that would be optimal to use Dolphin in all its FPS glory...I am going to buy a powerful desktop later on when I have the money....a system under $1500 would be nice....
What good OpenGL book do you recommend for beginners?
Click on this link then you will find the book you are looking for. Here are various kinds of books from famous writers which are of course interesting for you to read so hapy rading :)OpenGL Programming Guide: The Official Guide to Learning OpenGL, Version 4.3 8th Edition
What is the latest OpenGL version for the GMA 3150 in Windows and Linux?
It will depend on your version of Windows, there is an issue with Win8 in that MS do not allow installation of OpenGL although that may have passed. If your running under Windows you are limited to V1.4Under Linux based systems there is a reported bug that has been closed. The system will only allow V1.4 but you can install and run most of V2 by using the work-around detailed by Robert Hooker from the Ubuntu bug list hereBugs : xserver-xorg-video-intel package : Ubuntu
Is an Anderno 530 better than OpenGL 3.2?
Your’re mixing up two entirely different things here.Adreno 530 is a graphics processing unit (GPU) found inside Qualcomm Snapdragon 820/821 SoCs.OpenGL ES is a graphical application programming interface (API) required to run games and other 2D/3D software on a a mobile GPU. Version 3.2 is the latest revision of that standard and it is more or less comparable with desktop OpenGL 4.1+.

Can we run PUBG without a graphics card on lower settings?
Yes, You can play pubg mobile without any graphic card. It also little depends on emulator. There are many emulators for playing this game. Bluestacks, Memu these two emulators are slower than Tencent gaming buddy and many peoples use this emulator because its official.I consider that you have a low-end laptop with intel HD graphics and no dedicated graphics memory, Obviously PUBG mobile will lag on this system, But if you do following settings game will work fine.Go to settings of Tencent Gaming buddy emulator from top right corner.Click engine, under rendering title there are options as opengl, opengl+, directx, directx+ and smart mode. Here dont click on either of directx or smart mode. Select opengl+, Because as SDL opengl is used in developing android emulators and games.Uncheck prioritize Dedicated GPU, because you don’t have graphics card. If you are using some laptops with shared graphics memory then it will consider that shared memory as VRAM and will expect your PC high end. Its should be happening so Don’t select prioritize dedicated GPU. Keep all other things selected.Close anti-aliasing. Anti-aliasing is used for smoothing your textures and jagged edges it results in increasing performance, But don’t use anti-aliasing.Considering you have low end laptop you might be having 4GB Ram. Now go to memory options and set maximum ram as 4096 MB.Set lowest Resolution possible and number of processors to one.Now click on Game tab here under PUBG mobile, select SD 720P. Set display quality to smooth.Start game. Now go to settings in game set frame-rate and graphics to low. Close and restart gameHave a lag-free gameplay !____________________________________________________________
If Linux is a better operating system (such as having a better shell, security, & better environment for programming), why are most of the softwares originally written for Windows (from gaming to designing softwares like PSpice, Matlab, SolidWorks)?
Inertia. If you've used Windows in the past then switching to something else is a hassle. If you're on Windows DirectX is easier and more likely to work well than OpenGL.Market share. The market share of Windows on the desktop is bigger than that of OS X which in turn is bigger than that of Linux. Money talks.Brand. DirectX is better known than things like SDL (which is the sort of thing you would need to replicate some of DirectX's features that go beyond OpenGL).Less confusion. Will the user's Linux only support up to OpenGL 1.4 or OpenGL 2+? Can you use an OpenGL 2.0 tutorial like An intro to modern OpenGL. Chapter 1: The Graphics Pipeline on your version Linux?These days Linux is more of a curio when it comes to games development and most developers would be better off fiscally doing an OS X port version before a Linux version (see things like Steam). Even then the console market is worth more than these two platform combined for games...If you wanted to mono platform DirectX is fine. If you want to be cross platform there's a strong chance you will have to go with OpenGL on at least some of the other platforms.There is a lot of history between Direct3D and OpenGL, but this is not necessary here.Hope you get your answer…:-)
What are the pros and cons of WebGL?
Let me get this started with some highlevel stuff:Pros:Shows a promise of 3D with dramatically lowered friction. No client or plugin install necessary.Royalty-free open standard shepherded by the Kronos consortium - http://www.khronos.org/Uses HTML5's canvas element and so is part of a larger change taking place on the web rather than an isolated technology.Browser makers Mozilla, Opera, Apple & Google are all onboard.Transparent development of spec. Majority of discussion takes place at www.khronos.org/webgl/public-mailing-list/Gives access to the power of a computer's graphics hardware from within scripts on web pages.Cons: Not yet available beyond betaversions of Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome browsers. Later this year seems to be current best guess for spec hitting v1.0. Seems that the remaining issues are related to getting security right. Good news is that as soon as spec is signed of on then implementations should be ready to roll out.Microsoft has not signed on. The way to get it to run in IE will likely by with the Chrome Frame plugin.Depends on having OpenGL 2.0 drivers present which many computers will not have. http://code.google.com/p/anglepr... is an open source project by Google to address this issue.Despite recent improvements Javascript may still feel too slow or just plain unfamiliar to people used to writing rich 3D applications.Most developer libraries are still in an early stage.
