Shader compiler

[Cryptogenic]

Need a shader compiler so we can use more complex shaders. Some homebrew bundle the runtime shader compiler (shacc) from devkits to use complex shaders, but this isn't ideal because we don't want to redistribute sony proprietary libraries.

The last update of orbislink I think it uses the console libraries, is it not possible to do the same?

These libraries don't exist on retail firmwares The runtime shader compiler library doesn't exist on retail firmwares, only on devkits. You can pull it from devkit and bundle them with your app to use them, but that's not really 'open' or safe legally. We want to avoid requiring redistribution of sony proprietary code. Piglet exists, but you can only use pre-compiled shaders atm.

This is pain, easier to port mesa and use llvm based glsl compiler

I've ported Mesa's shader compiler to a standalone tool: https://gitgud.io/veiledmerc/psbc
It compiles SPIRV to PSSL's shader binary using ACO.
Most of the source code is an exact copy of Mesa's.
It's incomplete and has some issues though, like no reflection data or vertex and pixel shaders only being supported (so far).

I wrote some code to help with the freegnm stuff :) https://pastebin.com/5QmtWF5B

Cheers, I'll try to get that code in the examples the next few days.

I'm unable to use Discord, do you hang somewhere else?
Also, you can email me at the address in my git commits (the 'ninja' one) if you'd like.
