OpenCL on ARM or Xbox

Microsoft now also provides an OpenCL driver which runs on top of DirectX12. This would it make possible in theory to run FAH on Xbox X when FAH delivers this OpenCL wrapper. https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12

Interesting! Thanks for the heads up here---we'll raise this issue internally.

For ARM devices running Windows Insider it can now also run OpenCL apps on top of DX12

OpenCLOn12 has MIT license and is fully compliant with OpenCL 1.2

Don't know if a similar approach would be possible to make an OpenCL 1.2 wrapper for Playstation 5 OpenGL driver

I hope the XBox X will run Windows exe files.
There is a possibility it won't run all programs Windows does. It may need a Windows store client app version of FAH.

Yes it needs a Windows store app. But the problem for Xbox was it does not have OpenCL driver. With OpenCLonDX12 now FAH has an option.
