Emulator

Can I ask why the license and CG is such an important issue to you? Most people just use the emulator and play the games.

The missing part is not easy at all, we're using Cg to compile almost all of our shaders. There's the GLSL branch which provides an alternative, but it doesn't work properly.

Linux distribution policy.

But about "most people", in the context of Linux:

• dolphin-emu binaries are not provided
• the "Externals" directory doesn't provide the Linux Cg binaries (easily fixed)

So it's not so easy for a Linux user to "just use the emulator and play the games".

I was supposing shaders are used only to add extra effects, something optional. But if it isn't the case feel free to close this.

Yo, we're using shaders for bscly the whole gpu emulation.
