XP anon here (guess I'll be going by that for now lel). Sorry for shitting up the thread with my autism.

I've looked it up before initially replying to you and got conflicting information. Some places say 2.1 is the highest-supporting on XP, some say it's 3.3. But then I've also read VMWare maxes out at 1.1, but its documentation says otherwise. I made a separate VM that has Windows 7 on it, I'll report back with results later on as to whether 3.3 works there so that we can tell if it's VMWare or XP's fault.

GTX 960 is the latest Nvidia card that can do both, it's the last card that supported XP. I still have mine and used to have it in a Windows 10 machine, though I haven't tested it with XP yet. Unfortunately, right now I don't have the time to mess with it (my current host machine has a RTX 3060).

Per the Hello Window tutorial, I'm using Glad instead.

>windows XP inside the VM will always be software emulated to OpenGL 1.1
I figured I could get more out of enabling 3D acceleration in the guest OS since I'm able to get DirectX-based vidya to play in it. Using a VM seems to be the point of failure here, guess I need to stop being retarded and just write my shit on the host where I already tried and got everything working.
