Building Dolphin without CG - portability issues - martymac - 05-25-2009
Hi everybody,
I am trying to get Dolphin working on FreeBSD. Unfortunately Nvidia's closed-source CG toolkit is not available for this platform. A CG-free video plugin for Dolphin would be a great step to a more portable emulator. Is that on you TODO list ?
Thanks a lot for you work !

i think it was CG free before
(then they ported it to CG 
)

Unfortunately, I don't think so. I have crawled into the SVN repository : first revisions already made use of Cg :/ Thanks for the hint anyway.

probably before they made it open-source?

Yes, that is possible ! I hope developpers will hear me and consider adding (or coming back to) support for a Cg-free video plugin :p

Na, currently both directx and opengl plugins use Cg (I don't remember a time when the OpenGL plugin didn't?). This makes a lot of things simpler and better
I don't foresee any of the plugins on dolphin's svn going back to HLSL/GLSL. So, better get working if you want one :p
