  • The console now has an interface that can be used to override the default software rendering backend with a custom implementation (including GPU rendering).
  • The software renderer now takes care of calling gfxInitDefault, gfxSwapBuffers, gfxExit. gfx functions should not be called explicitly by console users.

  • Old code is still compatible, although it is strongly advised to update it to use the new functions instead of calling gfx functions directly.

  • Removed GfxMode_TiledSingle mode due to it causing problems and potential (temporary) hardware damage.
  • The default transform behavior no longer vertically flips the framebuffer.
  • Removed gfxSetDrawFlip since it's no longer needed thanks to the change in the default transform behavior.
  • It is not necessary to call gfxWaitForVsync in most situations because gfxSwapBuffers already implicitly synchronizes with the display (this is mandated by the Android surface compositor and buffer producer system).
