------------------------------
Package information for PCSX2
------------------------------

 * The reasons given by upstream as to why they remove -fPIC are the following:
   - Code only supports the i386 architecture.
   - Code uses the ebx register and this is not compliant with -fPIC.
   - The use of -fPIC negatively impacts the performance of the program.
   - The .so file are not shared libraries but plug-ins. No program should try
     to link with them.

------------------------------------------
Information about the plug-ins for video
------------------------------------------

 * GSdx plug-in currently require a video card that supports
   at least OpenGL 3.3. A noninclusive list of cards that support OpenGL 3.0 is:
   - Radeon HD series (except HD2300)
   - GeForce 8, 9, 100-series, 200-series, 300-series, 400-series and 500-series
   - Intel Sandy Bridge HD Graphics 2000 and up

 * Currently the proprietary drivers for AMD and Nvidia have support for
   OpenGL 3.0 and above. GSdx plug-in use the following
   extensions/commands that may or may not be completely implemented in the
   open source video stack:
   - OpenGL 3.x (supported on Mesa 10.x)
   - OpenGL 4.0
     + GL_ARB_GPU_shader5 (improve FXAA, optional)
   - OpenGL 4.1
     + GL_ARB_separate_shader_objects
   - OpenGL 4.2
     + GL_ARB_map_buffer_alignment
     + GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store
     + GL_ARB_shading_language_420pack
     + GL_ARB_texture_storage
   - OpenGL 4.3
     + GL_ARB_explicit_uniform_location
     + GL_ARB_framebuffer_no_attachments
     + GL_ARB_copy_image (optional)
   - OpenGL 4.4
     + GL_ARB_buffer_storage
   - OpenGL 4.5
     + GL_ARB_clip_control
     + GL_ARB_direct_state_access
     + GL_ARB_texture_barrier
