Wait. Isn't Cemu used to be an Open Source since 1.0.0?
If yes, well @Exzap have a good reason of making the emulator Close Source. Look at it's competitor DeCaf Wii U Emulator.
Not a single "Compiled" version of that emulator.

many compiled versions you just have no idea where to look

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Your GPU supports Ogl 4.5 but glsl 4.40 (shader language). If Exzap implement glsl 4.50 and AMD don't implement this in next drivers, you and I with my HD7870 and every other AMD GPU can screw together. This is basically what is happening with Xenia.
also this isnt true amd has supported opengl 4.5 since crimson drivers xenia runs greatish on my 390x and 7970 you just have limited information on the subject

I don't want to come of rude, but if you keep the source closed and force people to opengl 4.5...
I think the emulator might lose its purpose altogether, if nobody can use it, then what's the point in building it?
At least for me and many people I know who are testing this emulator, it's not a change we would like too see.
We would like to support as many systems as possible, but if the Wii U can do something that your computer hardware can't do (and as such cannot directly emulate) then you are out of luck. The decision to move to a more recent OpenGL version is due to technical limitations, it's not an arbitrary choice.

Then again, nothing is final yet. We may settle with what we are currently using and revaluate at a later time.

I'm just curious, is the plan just to keep it closed source indefinitely, or do you plan to open source it further down the line once the project has matured a bit? If it's the former, is there a possibility that decision might be reevaluated in the future at some point?
I already posted a few times that we would release the source if we get stuck with development or if we abandon the project. We may release the source code earlier depending on the state of the project. But that's something we will decide at a later time.

Hmm. But these are just GIT. Not a build one that is already compiled.

Love your work, it's taking form very fast - Colour me impressed!

Look forward to checking out the code one day, although totally understand if it's never released.
