[query] PS2 SDL & 3D

SDL Development
1

Hi,

I’ve got a PS2 linux kit and I am thinking of using SDL. Does anyone know
if SDL handles 3D on the Linux PS2 development kit? If it does, how does it
do it: direct calls to the hardware, or openGL, or ps2gl, or something else?

Thanks

Lately, I looked at which backends had OpenGL support, and I didn’t see
any OpenGL/3D support in the PS2 backend.

It doesn’t. You’re welcome to look into it and submit patches.
The main reason SDL doesn’t support it already is because ps2gl is not a true
OpenGL implementation, and the usual 3D API used with SDL is OpenGL.

See ya!
