ERROR: Failed to locate FBO functions

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Hello everyone

I’m hecluro and I’m writing from Spain.

I’m facing the error: “Failed to locate FBO functions. Won’t be able to use render-to-texture.” when trying to load/apply any shader in Retroarch 1.0.0.2

I think that the problem is due to I’m using an old GPU (Geforce Go 7900GS) which only supports OpenGL 2.1, I read somewhere else that the FBO functions are not in Opengl 2.1 “core”, they are part of the extensions. So, I guess that my GPU doesn’t support this extension.

So, at this point, I cannot use any shader.

Is there any configuration tip/trick that I can do in order to use shaders (or some shaders at least)? Maybe there will be some change in 1.1 in this matter?

Thank you very much and best regards hecluro

Hello again

As workaround I found out that I can use overlays at least for scanline effects, the same as usual for Wii or other low-power systems,

If there is any tip or trick for letting me using the shadders it will be very welcome

Thanks again hecluro
