What is this for? getting libraries for improving performance in games?
To emulate the vita on a switch, running on linux, running on windows, running on a samsung fridge
Wrong. Did you not read the part where it said it is a GPU API for the GPU inside the vita?
Unless the switch, linux, windows, or fridge have the exact vita GPU this API does nothing.
This GPU api will allow for direct instructions to be passed to the vita gpu. Current homebrew and such utilize opengl.
If implemented, this should allow for better/faster/less resource usage for emulation or homebrew on the vita
To make it simple, it helps vita homebrew game developers to write their code for the vita… It’s like a development kit to understand how the console render its graphics
Oh, sounds awesome then!
