Modern hardware does backface culling in window space by calculating the face normal for the polygon, then doing a dot product against the view vector. The real3d pro-1000 on the other hand passes a pre-calculated face normal for each polygon which is used for culling. We were using this face normal to rewind the polygons so that regular backface culling would work. This worked 99.9% of the time. However this was failing on some models in Virtua Striker. The reason was because the pre-calculated face normals being passed were actually completely different to the actual face normals for the poly (not just inverted like you would expect). This broke our code. The solution was to emulate face culling directly in the vertex shader using the pre-calculated face normals directly. Only minimally tested this but hopefully there are no obvious regressions.

Harry made some important discoveries with regards to fixed shading on the model 3 (per vertex poly brightness values). Firstly values are allowed to be negative, and they are used as a drop in replacement in the standard lighting equation for the normal dot light vector. This quite radically changes the brightness in LA Machine guns, but now correctly matches the arcade.

Fixed shading (per vertex poly colours) on step 1.5 hardware have the viewport ambient value added to them. This fixes various shading on scud. To do this had to switch the maths to the vertex shader.

Sometime ago I managed to work out that specular on the model3 is not real specular, and really is just an extension of diffuse lighting. But attempts were derailed by corner cases and the fact we were not handling the normals correctly. Anyway Harry managed to successfully come up with an algorithm, and coefficients that give an almost perfect match to specular on the model3, based soley on observations from video footage! He also worked out that the lighting on hardware 1.5 onwards appears to be unclamped (ie greater than 1). This quite radically changes the brightness of some of the games, but much better matches the original hardware.

We were force normalising the result of matrix * normal, which looked correct in most cases. But this didn't preserve the scaling of the matrix, or the scaling of the model normals which resulted in many over bright areas. On it's own this generally worked, but games like Star Wars looked quite broken. Harry correctly figured out if you scale these normals by the scaling value that is sometimes present in the culling nodes the lighting looks correct. Still more work to do to correctly figure out the model3's lighting model.

Daytona seems to use this completely undocumented feature of the real3d pro-1000, the ability to invert texture colours. This patch fixes the colours on the cars, and the signs which should flash by alternating their colours.

Dynamically calculate near/far frustum planes for each viewport priority layer by clipping the overlapping meshes with the 4 frustum planes. A bit brute forcy, but the results are great.

Support microtexture relative scale. The exact scaling values are not known, but a 2x difference between each level seems highly likely. We know from visual inspection from scud that the first level is exactly 4. The SDK has a function that accepts a float input for scale and does this. lod = (1/scale) + 0.5. If lod>3 lod = 3. So this is our best guess.

Support multiple microTextures, fixes crazy texturing in sega ski champ. I'm assuming microtextures are always located on the other memory bank to the base texture. This logic seems to work for all our games anyway.
