Title: What version of PiCore should I install if i want to use OpenGL ES 2.1?
Post by: hemorrhoidman on February 19, 2026, 04:08:30 PM

I'm making a homemade game console and I want to use PiCore for it, I have some prior experience with PiCore so the installation isnt really a problem. I just want to know which version(s) have OpenGL ES 2.1 in the package library or if it possible to install it on a newer version. Im planning on using a headless install then launching my own 3D menu executable after boot.

Hi hemorrhoidman
I take it you are looking for libGLES.tcz.
armhf and aarch64 for TC15 and TC16 have  libGLES.tcz  which contains:

Code: [Select]

/usr/local/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so
/usr/local/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libGLESv1_CM.so.1.1.0
/usr/local/lib/libGLESv2.so
/usr/local/lib/libGLESv2.so.2
/usr/local/lib/libGLESv2.so.2.0.0

You can also use glxinfo to see which version you have.
