James Dansereau 7d31654f2e D2/D146: strip unconditional D63 debug trail from gfx_pc.cpp
The D63 branch-trail dump fired ~10 sysLogPrintf lines + a full trail
walk on EVERY unknown GBI opcode, unconditionally. On the front-end
menu (D149 corrupt model DL) this ran per-frame and collapsed the menu
to ~5fps with input starved. Removed the trail statics, the per-G_DL
recording, and the default-case dump; the rate-limited D146 'ending DL'
log stays. -level_09 3/3 framediff, -level_20 91.6% unregressed.

fast3d — software RSP for the GE PC port

This directory will hold the software RSP: a C++ interpreter that consumes the Gfx display list the game builds and emits OpenGL calls, bypassing the N64 RDP entirely.

Source: adapt from the Perfect Dark PC port

The PD port ships a complete, working fast3d at perfect-dark-pc-port/perfect_dark/port/fast3d/:

File Role ~Lines
gfx_pc.cpp The RSP interpreter: matrices, lights, fog, tri1/tri4, vtx 2800
gfx_opengl.cpp OpenGL backend: shaders, textures, zbuf, framebuffers 1300
gfx_cc.cpp Color-combiner equation -> GLSL shader compiler 60
gfx_sdl2.cpp SDL2 window-manager backend 460
gfx_api.h Public API (gfx_init/run/start_frame/end_frame/...) 58
gfx_pc.h Internal state (RSP struct, texture cache, combiner pool) 60
gfx_rendering_api.h Rendering-API vtable (GL backend implements this) 61
gfx_window_manager_api.h Window-manager vtable (SDL2 implements this) 54
glad/ GL loader —

The PD fast3d already handles G_TRI4 (GE's 4-triangle command) — the PD game uses it too. So the bulk of the RSP work is done; we adapt, not rewrite.

GE-specific work to add

  1. G_SETTEX (opcode 0xc0) — GE's custom texture-bank command (include/gbi_extension.h, gsSPUseTexture). Add a case in the gfx_pc.cpp dispatch and a corresponding texture-bank selection in the GL backend. Reverse the exact semantics from rsp/graphics/gmain.s + src/game/tex.c / initmttex.c.
  2. Verify custom color-combiner modes — G_CC_MODULATEIFADE, G_CC_FADE, G_CC_DECALFADE, G_CC_BLENDRGBFADEA, etc. The gfx_cc.cpp compiler handles arbitrary CC equations; confirm each GE mode compiles to correct GLSL.
  3. Verify the custom render mode — G_RM_CUSTOM_AA_ZB_XLU_SURF (AA_ZB_XLU with Z_UPD).
  4. gDPLoadTLUT06/07 — map onto the existing G_LOADTLUT path.

Ground truth

rsp/graphics/gmain.s (repo root) is the real GE RSP ucode. We do not run it on PC, but it is the authoritative reference for the exact command encodings GE emits — use it to validate the software RSP's decoding.

Status

Empty (scaffolding). Populate during Phase 2 by adapting the PD fast3d and adding the GE-specific commands above.
