Honestly I think it'd be pointless to hold on as a feature request. Either someone will want to implement it or someone won't. DX12 happened because someone just went out and did it.

Yeah. But if people start whining about it we can just say it's a documented, requested feature and then continue on with our day.

Oh yeah, I think this issue should stay. I just don't know if it'll change anything. Unless we're planning on rejecting the support, this should stay open.

With Vulkan support on the way to help optimize games running on Dolphin on Windows, it would make snese to afterwards look into finally optimizing support for OS X users by creating a backend for Metal since OS X users have been plagued by bugs that were fixed for Windows but not OS X due to lack of Open GL support. It feels like OS X is lagging behind Windows users tremendously because of it and I think it would be a good thing to look into after the Vulkan backend is fully functional in Dolphin

Nobody is going to argue that OS X is kind of screwed by bad performance and bugs, but the issue is nobody cares enough to write (and maintain! RIP D3D12) a Metal backend.

This is simply the nature of unpaid open source. People write the features they care about.

Nobody has forgotten about this issue. It gets brought up every now and then.

With the development of Ubershaders, and given the lack of efficient OpenGL drivers is the primary reason Ubershaders don't work on macOS, a Metal backend is looking a lot more attractive.

That PR was closed but now we have MoltenVK?

I guess this could be left open as a request for a native Metal backend.
