"Raspberry Pi 4 V3DV graphics driver achieves Vulkan 1.0 conformance"

Interesting! If we had a Vulkan renderer we'd be able to run on Pi4 pretty comfortably.

Not super fast, terrain would be slow still, but pretty decent I'd expect

Behold! New Pi 5 to be released next month!

Buuu! That's how I connected it to my CRT TV/monitor.

You can still get it, however you need to adapt it from somewhere else now

I don't want to cause any excitement but...

...it seems that the Raspberry Pi 5 now supports OpenGL 3.1, at least enough to get PioneerSpaceSim to start running with a little hacking

Even though I was aiming to do this I was still shocked when it actually ran, initialised OpenGL 3.1 and bloody worked!!! :D
