Oh wait is this not the libretro flycast Oops do i need to go there im so sorry
Edit: Nvm i see im in the right place :D WHEEEW
Not sure what's going on but it looks like RetroArch can't initialize OpenGL or decides not to use it. On my machine, here is the log I get with the GL driver:
[INFO] [Environ]: GET_PREFERRED_HW_RENDER, video driver name: gl.
[INFO] [Environ]: GET_PREFERRED_HW_RENDER - Context callback set to RETRO_HW_CONTEXT_OPENGL.
[INFO] [Environ]: SET_HW_RENDER, context type: gl.
[INFO] Requesting OpenGL context.
[DEBUG] Reached end of SET_HW_RENDER.
Have you tried the GLCORE driver? On macOS, flycast requests the glcore driver with OpenGL 3.2.
this is a good question but i really dont care about mac os, i do have a mac mini with mac os if u want me to try it but i dont wanna open this thing and take the harddrive out and install mac os
