You can't.

Thanks for the information.

I guess you're trying to say that there are not many D3D11 issues reported. Hopefully, in the future more of them will be reported.

OK, I've just tested all texture packs I have in OpenGL and they work as intended. DX11: glitches everywhere.
Well, now I won't be very mad when DX9 disappears. It's a pity that SweetFX doesn't work with OpenGL, though.

Yeah, the ogl backend will drop glsl 120 (aka dx9) gpu support. So the required glsl version will be 130 which is almost equal to dx10.

And yes, also OpenGL 4.3 is still working fine on Windows XP as the driver are easier to update than the DX library (or Microsoft doesn't want it). But thb, there are also plans to remove the jit32 as it's also unmantained and much slower than the jit64 one. As Windows XP doesn't have a 64bit version, WindowsXP will also be droped in this way...

I see. Thanks for the information. So in the future, Dolphin will only have a 64-bit version. I hope the 32-bit version will not be dropped soon. I'm using Windows 32-bit and don't want to reinstall Windows.

You can continue using 4.0 on your outdated system for as long as you'd like.

FWIW, Dolphin on 32 bit systems is already more than 20% slower than on 64 bit systems.

Actually, my system is not outdated. It's just a 32-bit system. When the 32-bit version is dropped, I will just use the last 32-bit build until it's justified for me to install Windows 64-bit and reinstall all applications.

If I recall correctly there is a Windows XP 64-bit edition, isn't there? (not that many people use it)

Dolphin doesn't work on XP64 due to a bug that isn't worth fixing due to the complete lack of XP64 users. Besides, DX9/glsl120 removal would make Dolphin unusable on that, too.
