macOS Metal & OpenGL

We now offer the ability to switch between two of your favorite renderers on macOS.

The app can sometimes lag when going into fullscreen on macOS. This is mostly device specific, so launching it with OpenGL in Terminal via:

open -a /Applications/SimpliPlay.app --args --use-gl

should reset this, so the next time you launch the app with Metal, a lot of renderer cache would've been cleared, and thus, no lag.

However, we offer OpenGL as a choice, but it can also be used as a hack to fix that lag mentioned earlier. But, OpenGL is MUCH slower compared to Metal, and introduces new lag in spots that Metal would perform well in. But if you prefer OpenGL, use it as you will.
