James Dansereau 36de85e789 D339 (#92): GE_PERFSTAT perf probe + measured CPU budget (CPU likely not the low-end bottleneck; GPU suspect)
Env-gated per-frame timing: render phases, tris/batches, game-thread busy,
GL_TIME_ELAPSED GPU timer. Measured ~2.1 ms/frame total CPU on the heaviest
levels here; the GPU timer is only meaningful when GPU-bound. Target-hardware
numbers needed before a low-end preset. Golden 3/3; Win + Linux builds.

fast3d — software RSP

A C++ interpreter that consumes the Gfx display list the game builds each frame and emits OpenGL calls, replacing the Nintendo 64's Reality Signal Processor and Reality Display Processor.

Origin and license

This code is adapted from the Perfect Dark PC port (port/fast3d/), which in turn is the Ship of Harkinian / libultraship fast3d, itself descended from sm64-port.

LICENSE.txt in this directory (MIT, © 2020 Emill, MaikelChan) covers that lineage. glad/ is generated by glad (© David Herberth, MIT). GoldenEye-specific changes in this directory are under the repository's top-level MIT license.

GoldenEye-specific work

The PD fast3d already handles G_TRI4 (GoldenEye uses it too). The GE additions are the custom color-combiner / render modes and the handling of GE's GBI extension commands. rsp/graphics/gmain.s (GE's real RSP microcode, in the repo root) is the ground truth for the exact command encodings.
