query (This is not a bug report) hello! this is really cool! I can't imagine how much could be achieved with this driver, unfortunately the people in the Libretro team for example say that there is no one in their right mind who develops an emulator using it, why do they say that? It is very difficult? well, mine is just curiosity, I wish you success in this and the other projects you have!

hi, thank you!
I don't know why they are saying that, but I can think of a few.
I'm the sole developer so there are probably loads of bugs (see pull requests merged for example).
Assembly only shader support obviously doesn't help and that could make emulation development difficult (unless you roll a C-like compiler).
The Vulkan standard is not fully supported either so you might run into cases where you'd need something and it's missing.
There are also some other (documented) limitations that you'd need to be aware of.
So it'd definitely be a love project for someone, I suppose if they are not particularly passionate about this then it won't happen.

Thank you very much for answering! I would like to help you in some way, I am passionate about this whole world, but unfortunately I have no programming knowledge, I only eventually follow instructions and learn a few things. I discussed this in the forum, so that you may understand my question and not go out of context:
https://forums.libretro.com/t/vulkan-driver-for-the-raspberry-pi-run-quake-3-with-vulkan-100-fps/29039/9
Thank you for your humility my friend, believe me I have no intention of being annoying. The person who supports vulkan on that team has the alias @Themaister, but I'm scared to ask him anything. If from my position I can help in any way let me know!
