Apple has stated that they are deprecating OpenGL from update 10.15 onwards, and Metal will be used instead. Will Dolphin be developing a build that supports Metal, or is it just going to be unusable from then on?

They'll tell everyone to use Metal if OGL stops working later on due to their own changes. Aren't there already a number of workarounds for the OGL on OS X even when Apple "supported" the API? Doesn't seem very hopeful going forward. But like Jack Frost said, a Metal backend for Dolphin is doable, especially with all the recent work that's been done (to VideoCommon, right?). 06-11-2018, 04:38 AM
As we said on Dolphin's twitter, Apple has kind of already deprecated OpenGL on macOS by not updating it or fixing bugs in it for years. So not really a surprise, they just made it official.

Their GPU drivers are shit, and they are not willing to improve them. For at least 5 years now. 06-12-2018, 05:30 AM
I love my MacBook Pro too much to run Windows on it. That's just cruel.
