CARD_Init() takes two parameters: the game code and the company name. The documentation reads: Performs the initialization of the memory card subsystem. Parameters: gamecode pointer to a 4byte long string to specify the vendors game code. May be NULL company pointer to a 2byte long string to specify...

In fact, I'd like to have a fixed region of memory, say a few MB, and use that solely as a geometry cache in a streaming engine architecture. This means I will make 1 call to...

When the exact number of attributes is known, then you must allocate N+1 attributes structs just to set the N+1th one to GX_VA_NULL. Annoying and wastes memory.

The display list contains only vertex data, no state changes. I can't find any documentation on the proper way to compute a display list's size, so I...
