Fix the line of sight function.
...
Polygons have a line of sight value that's either a 0 or 1. We write this value into the stencil buffer, then read the app can read it back to determine the polygon attribute is visible or not. The returned value is 1/depth value in world coordinates. The first bit of the float is actually a control bit, 1 indicates no geometry hit, 0 indicates geometry hit.

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.

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 :]

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.

Composite the alpha layers at the end of rendering. To do this we need to mask the alpha pixels with the opaque pixels from the next priority layer. Fixes some overlapping shadows in vf3tb that have different priority layers. I assume that was a game bug, but it works on the real h/w.

Render the opaque part of texture transparency in the first pass. Fixes numerous transparency related issues in lemans24 and some in ocean hunter. I don't really know if this is the 'correct' way of solving this because the real3d pro-1000 is a complete black box. There is still a lot we don't understand about how it handles transparency.

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.

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.

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.
