## gSPLoadUcodeL

Syntax

    #include <ultra64.h> /* gbi.h */
    gSPLoadUcodeL(Gfx *gdl, ucode_name)
    gsSPLoadUcodeL(ucode_name)

Arguments

- gdl is the display list pointer.

- ucode_name is the name of the microcode:
  gspF3DEX_fifo
  gspF3DEX_NoN_fifo
  gspF3DLX_fifo
  gspF3DLX_NoN_fifo
  gspF3DLX_Rej_fifo
  gspF3DLP_Rej_fifo
  gspL3DEX_fifo

  * The following are used for the F3DEX2 microcode group (F3DEX2/F3DLX2/F3DLP2/L3DEX2):

  gspF3DEX2_fifo
  gspF3DEX2_NoN_fifo
  gspF3DEX2_Rej_fifo
  gspF3DLX2_Rej_fifo
  gspL3DEX2_fifo
  gspF3DEX2_xbus
  gspF3DEX2_NoN_xbus
  gspF3DEX2_Rej_xbus
  gspF3DLX2_Rej_xbus
  gspL3DEX2_xbus

Explanation
This macro loads the specified microcode using a simplified version of gSPLoadUcode. In other words, the following two calls (a) and (b) do the same thing:

    (a) gsSPLoadUcode(OS_K0_TO_PHYSICAL(&gspF3DEX_fifoTextStart),
                      OS_K0_TO_PHYSICAL(&gspF3DEX_fifoDataStart))
    (b) gsSPLoadUcodeL(gspF3DEX_fifo)

For details, see gSPLoadUcode and Section 25.3.1, "F3DEX Microcode Series Functions" in the N64 Online Programming Manual.
