gspLine3D Microcode
gspLine3D.dram Microcode
This is optimized, high-quality, completely functional, and 3D line RSP microcode.
It supports 3D clipping, matrix stack, and gouraud shading. The .dram version controls output transfer of the RDP display list to the memory buffer (RDRAM) instead of the RDP. All processing is accurate enough to create high quality images.The gspLine3D microcode contains many of the features contained in gspFast3D, except that instead of rendering triangles, it draws 3D lines. This is useful for producing wireframe effects. If a gSP1Triangle command is encountered, it will render the three edges of the triangle, but not the center portion of the triangle.
All gSP1Triangle commands create the three edges of the triangles to be drawn. Please note, when drawing two triangles next to each other, both shared edges are drawn. So, this takes additional time for processing. The command (gSP1Triangle) is not efficient, so line microcode should be used only for debugging.
The calculation for line attributes is dealt with by using vectors efficiently so that the load when using gouraud shading attributes can be ignored when generating other attributes. The default RDP state is same as the default state written in gspFast3D.
