 | The supported shader models when targeting DX are the following:|

 |When targeting GL platforms we automatically translate FX files to GLSL using a library called [MojoShader](http://icculus.org/mojoshader/).  The supported feature levels are the following:|

-|  * `vs_2_0` and `ps_2_0`|
-|  * `vs_3_0` and `ps_3_0`|

 |You can use preprocessor checks to add conditional code or compilation depending on defined symbols. MonoGame defines the following symbols when compiling effects:|
 |---|
-|  * `2MGFX`                        |
-|  * `HLSL` and `SM4` for DirectX   |
-|  * `OpenGL` and `GLSL` for OpenGL |

 As an example, you can conditionally set shader models depending on the platform with the following code:
