Description

The RPCS3 (PlayStation 3) Emulator has a message in the corner of the screen that says “compiling shaders...” whenever asynchronous compilation occurs. Can Xenia have this feature?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate where asynchronous shader compilation occurs in Xenia and add a UI indicator similar to RPCS3's 'compiling shaders...' message. Check the GPU module for compilation events and the UI code for overlays.
