      @sergioad it does not. confirmed by the dev on their discord many times, and the official website: https://redream.io/help

      flycast supports vulkan, although apparently pi4 has issues: https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/983

          RPiOS "Bullseye" now has the 20.3.5 version of MESA and the Broadcom Vulkan driver is part of the mesa-vulkan-drivers pkg if installed through apt...

          In upstream MESA, the rpi4 Vulkan driver is now 1.1 conformant but still lacks a few extensions and driver code improvements that 3D emulators would benefit from.

          Nonetheless, it is an option available to the user to install through apt. Perhaps it might be time to make it an option in RetroPie?

            Does it work without xorg ? From my limited testing, it's not working with RetroArch in the current configuration (KMSDSM without xorg).

              It should work in the KMS API, the extension VK_KHR_display allows it to do so.

              What is your current configuration?

                @bluestang Just a default RPI OS 11 install, with mesa-drivers-vulkan installed.

                  Are you able to get vkcube running in KMS?

                    @bluestang No, it's not running. RetroArch seems to work from the desktop, but not without.

                      Are you able to get RetroArch working in KMS just using GLES? I just made another fresh image (64-bit) and I can see your issues, I'm trying to pin down what the problem is because compiling MESA on my own I never had this issue before...

                        RetroArch works fine with the GL driver (using GLES3) and I know that Vulkan also works with KMS - using a 21.x version of Mesa and the included v3v Vulkan driver.
                        What I'm saying is that it doesn't appear to work (on KMS) with the Mesa out-of-the-box version included in the new RPI OS 'bullseye' release (20.3.5) .

                          Thanks for the clarification and you are right, Vulkan does not work in KMS with the included MESA (20.3.5) in Bullseye.

                          It was backported into MESA 21.0.0. How annoying...

                            Updating this thread for informational purposes:

                            If you want to run the latest MESA git, there are several patches that are needed based on the 20.3.5 diff file from the RPiOS repository: (I kept the relevant changes that are not already upstreamed)

                            Without it, I ran into some display issues which I presume are the modifiers utilized in the newer libdrm pkgs.

                            Note: you must compile libdrm, libglvnd, and mesa for it to work.
