 ## OpenGL ICD support

 OpenGL is much more driver independent than DirectX, if fact, there is only 1 (ONE by words) function that needs to be served by driver, 0x1101. More on https://github.com/JHRobotics/mesa9x

+QEMU is supported since **v1.2023.0.10**. Supported adapters are `-vga std` which using modified VBE driver (`qemumini.drv`) and `-vga vmware` where VMware driver now works but is limited to 32 bpp colors only. I plan to support *VirGL* in future, but currently no 3D acceleration isn't available in QEMU.
