I'm trying to get Higan working. I can't figure out how to avoid this error:

Error: OpenGL 3.2 is not avaliable. Select another video driver on the Advanced Configuration tab and restart again. 

I've tried installing libgl1-mesa-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev and mesa-util. Nothing. Ignoring the error results in a black screen. (If it matters, I'm running a rom of Super Mario World). I have the Pi 3 model B.

The Raspberry Pi only supports OpenGL ES 2.0, and with the open source driver, OpenGL 2.0 (almost entirely). An app that requires OpenGL 3.2 would require that you install a software renderer that can do 3.2, which I don't believe exists for ARM.

You're going to need to do what the error message says, and choose a different renderer in the app.
