James Dansereau f800275247 fast3d/D217: key CI texture cache on palette content, not just TLUT address (#49)
GE assembles weapon and character model display lists in scratch arena RAM
and reissues gDPLoadTLUT from a repeated source address with different
palette *content* between materials and frames. The CI TextureCacheKey
keyed only on {texel addr, palette_addrs[0/1], palette_index, size_bytes}
with no content check, so gfx_texture_cache_lookup() (a plain map.find)
could return a stale HIT whose GL texture was decoded against a different
palette. Proven with an env-gated probe on -level_34: the same
{addr, paladdr} pair re-imported many times per frame with materially
different rdp.palette content, all taking HITs.

Fix: FNV-1a hash of the 512-byte rdp.palette, recomputed only in
gfx_dp_load_tlut() (rare vs draws -> no per-texel or per-draw cost), added
as a trailing field of the CI cache key. Non-CI keys carry 0. Cannot
produce a worse decode than the stale HIT it replaces; worst case is a few
extra texture uploads per frame (~2 measured on -level_34).

Partial for D217: this removes a real stale-palette-HIT class (the D217
finding's own "test a palette-content hash" next-step) but does NOT resolve
the visible green PP7 grip. That has an upstream cause - the grip's count=1
model TLUT is fed different source bytes per level (Bunker 0x0001 -> black,
Facility 0x1A00 -> green) for the same tile; fast3d faithfully stores what
it is given. See scratchpad D217-report.md. Full 21-level world-CI
regression sweep still owed before merge.

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.
