Will the Mali-G57 ever support Vortek?

When the proprietary drivers were announced, their proposal was that regardless of the device you were using, you would be able to use community projects, whether it was a MediaTek, Exynos, or similar.

But in practice, that's not exactly what happens. At first, I thought it was precisely because Vortek was something experimental, but people told me that the Mali G57 was the only one that had strange behavior with Vortek, specifically, it wouldn't even open the 3D test.

So, will this GPU ever have a chance of working with Winlator?

It is also interesting to mention the existence of Winlator Bionic, which managed to fix this problem, but since Wine Bionic still does not have much compatibility or even this integration of native drivers, many games still do not open, but I believe that with Vortek the situation is a little different. (I am not an expert, but taking into account the amount of games that people run with Vortek, it is possible to reach this conclusion)

I can't tell you if this will ever be compatible, I don't have devices with Mali GPU to test and apply the necessary fixes to Vortek. As for Winlator Bionic, theoretically it doesn't exist yet and it's not official.

I understand, I apologize for asking something like this, I believe that doing this project must be a difficult job and full of uncertainties, it's like working with many possibilities at the same time, but the important thing is that you do the best you can and that's enough.

Thank you for clearing up my doubts and being honest, I hope that one day I can make better use of Winlator, but for now I'm already grateful for your work =)
