romdataFixupFont re-lays out the N64 24B fontchar array into the PC 32B array in place; for glyphs 0/1/2 dst overlaps src by less than the 24B read span, so a forward field write clobbered a later field's source mid-loop (glyph 1 width = bswap(index), glyph 2 pixeldata -> wild ptr). Facility's level title 'Chemical Warfare Facility #2' rendered '#' with the wild pixeldata -> gDPLoadTextureBlock -> fast3d AV in import_texture_i8. Fix: stage all six N64 fields in a local f[6] before writing any. Not the model-GDL relocation the D124-Facility addendum suspected (disproved; D124 entry + BRIEF-C2gdl-model-reloc premise corrected). Verified: -level_34 0/~14 runs, -level_35 0/4 (was ~3/4); -level_09/20/24 unregressed. Sweep 18 -> 20/21 PASS; only Jungle C2m (gfx_sp_matrix explosion-DL G_MTX) remains. Docs: D130 in PCPortResearch §F/§H, LEVEL-STATUS 20/21, HANDOFF M-18, PORT-LEARNINGS §A (in-place relayout aliasing + negative glyph index).
GoldenEye 007 — PC port layer
This directory contains the PC port layer: the code that lets the (unmodified) GoldenEye game sources run on a modern host instead of N64 hardware.
It mirrors the layout of the Perfect Dark PC
port, which ports the
same Rare engine family. See docs/PCPortResearch.md (repo root) for the full
research write-up and phased plan.

How it works (short version)
- The R4300 game code (
src/game,src) is compiled unmodified. - The RSP is emulated in software (
fast3d/): it interprets the Gfx display list the game builds and emits OpenGL calls, bypassing the RDP. - The RCP scheduler (
gesched.c) replacessrc/sched.c's hardware task submission: instead of writing RSP registers it callsgfx_run(). - libultra OS functions are shimmed in
libultra.c(single-threaded, host clock, VI/PI/SI/AI mapped onto the video/audio/fs/input layers). - Saves (Memory Pak / EEPROM) are backed by files in the data dir.
GE-specific RSP work
The PD fast3d already handles G_TRI4 (GE's 4-triangle command). The new
work for GE is:
G_SETTEX— GE's custom texture-bank command (include/gbi_extension.h,gsSPUseTexture). Must be added to the RSP interpreter + GL backend.- Verify GE's custom color-combiner modes (
G_CC_*FADE*) and render mode (G_RM_CUSTOM_AA_ZB_XLU_SURF) produce correct GLSL / GL state.
Use rsp/graphics/gmain.s (the real GE RSP ucode) as the ground truth for the
exact command encodings.
Status
Scaffolding only. The files in src/ and fast3d/ are stubs that define
the interfaces and mark the work to be done. The actual implementation is
brought in phase by phase (see docs/PCPortResearch.md §8), largely by
adapting the PD port's port/ layer.
