To make them single draw calls, do you create a single big mesh of all the sub-meshes to draw? Each one will need a different transform matrix applied. How does that get handled?

I'll need to catch myself up on how you handle translucency and that co-planar/stencil mechanism.

I see, thank you. ahh, I see, it seems opaques discarded only during that "1st pass". I don't know if Pro-1000 operates in passes per se but there is this concept of a contour texture. Alpha blending also works entirely differently than expected. One theory is that it actually renders onl...

We know the gist of how it works and some details are hinted at in patents. By piecing together what the games are doing, what the official (very high level) documentation says, and hints from the Real3D SDK, more is known. For example, Ian and Matthew recently deduced that part of the Real3D cullin...

I just pushed a change to master that builds ppcd.exe automatically in the bin64 directory (alongside supermodel.exe), so if you build Supermodel as normal, you should now also get a ppcd.exe.

Yes I do. You'll need to build Supermodel with ENABLE_DEBUGGER set. On Windows, for me, this looks like: make -f Makefiles/Makefile.Win32 clean make -f Makefiles/Makefile.Win32 ENABLE_DEBUGGER=1 Then you can run as: supermodel daytona2.zip -enter-debugger There is a help command. "c" will ...

What's your video card? I think LA Machineguns is one of the heaviest polygon pushers. The explosions, particularly when large and covering most of the screen, tend to burden the new 3D renderer.

If the -no-white-flash option fixes it, then the white flashes are correct.

I believe that you have to disable Vsync in your graphics driver as well for this to work.

What do you mean no response? There should be an error message printed. I assume you are running from the command line. You can also look at Supermodel.log afterwards to get an error message.

I don't think the settings matter. All the routines use a rough value of 57 fps and don't appear to be using measured frame timing. What I mean re: your NVRAM file is that when I run Daytona 2 with it, I don't see the scores. Shouldn't they show up for the beginner track after the attract mode?
