Metismo has released an OpenGL ES library for the PSP. I’m talking fancy graphical features like: lighting, fogging; and to get more technical: vertex buffer objects, uncompressed, palletized and additional DXTC compressed textures, fixed and floating point data type adherence, and internal vertex array conversion to optimal PSP formats. Over your head? Mine too. Nevertheless — them graphics will look so fresh and so clean when they’re OpenGL ES-ified.
Now if you’re a developer you’ll likely see the potential dopeness of this library; however, I’m not sure whether it’s commercial grade or if it’s free to the masses… I can’t find a public download anywhere.
Furthermore, John Chasey, CEO of Metismo, quotes –
While we developed the OpenGL ES support as part of the broader Bedrock technology it became apparent that for some developers a standalone OpenGL ES package for the PSP was particularly beneficial.
Beneficial indeed. You can read more about Metismo and their Bedrock effort right here.
