the new video plugin in rev 4429

I noticed that the newest version of dolphin (rev 4429) includes a new video plugin that is WAY slower but WAAAAY more compatible with my games. does anyone (developers?) know what the difference is between the "dolphin software renderer" and the "dolphin openGL"?

The Software plugin It's a debbug tool , It's used to see what is wrong in the OGL one

It runs almost all of the game that didnt work on d3d/ogl, but it is too slow Sad

It seems to run more games that had problems due to the video plugins, but obviously does not run games that fail to run due to core issues.

The software plugin is being built to do everything accurately rather then go for spped like the D3D and OpenGL plugins.
