''Naomi2 will require ELAN T&L chip emulation. In Naomi2, display lists is input to ELAN as matherials, light sources, models, transformation matrices, etc; so, not like Dreamcast Tile Accelerator format.
''You may open Demul[[DEmul]]'s gpuDX11.dll using some PE resource editor, find there the PVR2_VSH (vertex shader file) which is mostly consisted of ELAN simulation."''

==Libretro corescore==Two reicast cores on [[libretro]] called '''Reicast reicast OIT''' and '''Reicast reicast regular''' were introduced [https://www.libretro.com/index.php/introducing-reicast-oit-libretro-core-updated-reicast-regular-core/ in June 2018] that replace the original core. These cores backport changes from [https://github.com/flyinghead/reicast-emulator flyinghead's fork] that rework the rendering system. The regular core is compliant with OpenGL 3 and GLSL 1.30 in order to support mobile devices and mid-tier PCs. The OIT core supports a graphics feature of the Dreamcast called Order-Independent Transparency that can only be properly emulated using OpenGL 4.3 and later, so it's only available for Windows and Linux at the moment.The two reicast cores have been merged in one '''reicast libretro''' core [https://www.libretro.com/index.php/reicast-libretro-and-reicast-oit-libretro-merged-into-one-what-you-need-to-know/ in October 2018]. In 2019 the core was first renamed to '''Beetle DC''' and a short while later '''Flycast''', for licensing reasons.
