Assuming "works perfectly on XP even without hardware OpenGL" means you have a software renderer as backup, can you explain more about how you get performance out of one on modern OSes (where DOS techniques of direct framebuffer access don't apply)?
- monocasa 7y agoWindows XP IIRC shipped with a soft OpenGL that'd look like a hardware version. I imagine they's not doing anything special other than not having requirements that a soft renderer can't fulfill.
- ItsFirefly 7y agoRight on. Software OpenGL 1.1 works on XP (and other Windowses) and the render engine falls back to minimal features if it detects this.
