Scroll fog is like a clear colour for the render target, but can be semi transparent as the tilegen layer can be shown underneath. I assumed that transprent polys would be drawn to the render target for transparent polys but unfortunately the logic does not work. So where else could it be drawn? Well with limited memory it must be draw to the buffer for opaque polys, which means this render target is also blended.

Rewrite the renderer a bit to spit out the finished graphics from the 3d chip on separate buffers. One buffer is for opaque pixels, and 2 more for translucent pixels. Before the frame was composited on the back buffer, which meant the tilegen had to have been drawn first. This way the images are now totally independant of the tilegen chip so can be drawn as soon as the register write 0xC is written to the tilegen.
...
Some games update the tilegen after the ping_ping bit has flipped at 66% of the frame, so we need to split the tilegen drawing up into two stages to get some effects to work. So having the tilegen draw independantly of the 3d chip can make this happen.

gm_mathew worked out that the camera flashes in sega rally 2 have the 'reset-matrix' attribute set inside the culling nodes, which was unsupported until now because we never found any games to have used this bit. The reset matrix is a bit strange, I would assume it would just reset the matrix back to identity, instead it seems to just reset the rotation back to identity whilst preserving the scale/position.

Rewrite the whole project for GL4+. I figured if we removed the limitation of a legacy rendering API we could improve things a bit. With GL4+ we can do unsigned integer math in the shaders. This allows us to upload a direct copy of the real3d texture sheet, and texture directly from this memory given the x/y pos and type. This massively simplifies the binding and invalidation code. Also the crazy corner cases will work because it essentially works the same way as the original hardware.
...
The standard triangle render requires gl 4.1 core, so should work on mac. The quad renderer runs on 4.5 core. The legacy renderer should still work, and when enabled a regular opengl context will be created, which allows functions marked depreciated in the core profiles to still work. This will only work in windows/linux I think. Apple doesn't support this.
A GL 4.1 GPU is now the min required spec. Sorry if you have an OLDER gpu. GL 4.1 is over 12 years old now.
This is a big update so I apologise in advance if I accidently broke something :]

Optimize quad rendering by replacing the double computations for the area computation with the equivalent shoelace algorithm along with kahans algorithm to compute the cross products. In addition pull out the /w to the end, which increases precision even more.
...
Thus making the result similar to the fp64 version, tested e.g. with harleys first person mode (all artifacts still gone as before).
Improves perf on low end boards (e.g. Intel) dramatically (10fps with harley before, now 70 on my laptop), and even on higher end (e.g. NVIDIA laptop, quads are now faster than tri pipeline on my laptop).

The translator map seems to work with paletted colour values too, and the result is not clamped. Colours are passed to the GPU as unsigned bytes to multiplying by 16 will overflow, so we do the logic in the shader. If we passed floats we could skip the shader logic.

When the translator map is enabled the colour values seem to use 4 bits, 0-16. Why not 0-31 I don't know. Anyway virtua on is overflowing these values for some of the smoke effects. For us the numbers were wrapping around. Clamping is enough to fix this. (Thanks model123)

To calculate the mipmap value the opengl needs to calculate the difference in the texture coordinates between adjacent pixels. If there are no adjacent pixels the hw may need to spawn invisible fragments outside of the visible polygon. Our algorithm was culling these out so the mipamp calculation failed for edge pixels. Anyway this fixes quad rendering looking broken with the latest nvidia drivers.

Ocean hunter in the middle of the game is passing a few matrices with FLT_MAX inside them, which blows apart our near/far calculation. The hardware must have some method to sanitize the near/far for instance if you render something extremely close to the origin you will also blow apart any near/far calc.

Technically backface culling should cull polys when the dot product = 0, since when it equals 0 the polys is perpendicular to the camera and thus invisible. When you complete sega rally2 (if you can get that far lol) the champagne is invisible. The reason is because all the face normals are 0. So when multiplied by the model matrix they are still 0 and get culled. Tweaking the condition to only cull polys when greater than 0 fixes this, and allows these 'bad' polys to render as they do on the model3.
