Does PS2 or Gamecube support Opengl?

I''m pretty sure Gamecube does (n64 did for sure)
PS2 - probably
XBOX - direct x

GameCube looks so much like OpenGL, I would bet, IMHO, that if Nintendo changed the function names, and added about 10 more calls, then they may have been able to get certification, although I doubt Nintendo would pay the ARB for the privlage...

PS2 has their own graphical API, wholy seperate from other APIs.

Well since DirectX and OpenGL are American... I don''t really know the term for what they *are* the Japanese consoles (PS2, and GC) won''t use them. Xbox uses DirectX, and I heard the new one will also support OpenGL, but that could probably just be a rumor since console journalists tend to say whatever they fell will make people listen.

If I have Maked a game in Opengl can I convert it into PS2 or something like that or do I have to write a new code for the PS2 API system from the begining?

Assuming I understood what you meant, I know for a fact that Japanese companies use DirectX, why else would Microsoft had made a Japanese DirectX help file if they didn''t?

anything made w/ the P2L kit, needs P2L to run. so, no, no commercial games are made w/ the P2L kit.


*** note: OpenGL is here for PS2.

OpenGL for PS2

I was pretty sure that the ''cube used OpenGL with lots of extensions, I swear I saw something offical about it, but since I could find nothing definite on google or on opengl.org (who would probably mention a major console choosing opengl) then I guess I probably dreamed it or something... I''m really sad.
