Fix TGDSProject3D using OpenGL in real hardware

[Coto]

It’s been a year since I tried running several TGDSProject3D projects on real hardware (DS Lite), and as expected, they work properly on emulators, but on TWL Unit, they cause issues:

‌

SnakeGL: Missing textures on TWL Unit

TGDSProject3D: Black screen, but still ARM7 core working

AquariumGL: Missing textures on TWL Unit

BatallionNDS: boots but locks up after a while (possible GX FIFO overflow error, due to either malformed or overflowed triangles/quads count.

[Coto]

culprit is an untested ndsdisplaylistutils.

‌

Todo:

roll back to ndsdisplaylistutils which used to work on real hardware (September-October 2022) which was SnakeGL on NDS Lite, then re-do all commits until it’s working in TWL unit.

‌

Note:

TexturedBlenderModelNDSRender also shows blackscreens on real hardware whereas on emulators they work, this means the lighting code is broken on NDS hardware as of at least September-October 2022 ndsdisplaylistutils):

tests so far: Codebase pertaining to TGDS, newlib-nds and TexturedBlenderModelRender from this commit: 26 sept 2021:

• ARM9: restore adpcm decoder to armv5te

is broken on real hardware, so it’s 2 years of commits I have to re-do. I tried building against newer newlib-nds, TGDS but lighting code is broken.

OK. Got a base stable codebase, working on TWL hardware as of today: December 5th of 2023 (Coto88 / twl_ntr_environment2 / Commit d2f67ea582e6 — Bitbucket), and will be merged into the following TGDSProject3D repos: https://bitbucket.org/Coto88/toolchaingenericds/commits/branch/TGDS-1.65-HardwareOpenGLFix / https://bitbucket.org/Coto88/cgmodels/commits/branch/TGDS-1.65-HardwareOpenGLFix

[Coto]

after done, recompile TGDS3DProject and it should render properly on NTR/TWL hardware.

merge VideoGL 0.2 from 2021 into TGDS1.65, thus, very old but stable code base to begin integrating OpenGL + DisplayList + Lighting fixes into GX 3D hardware across TGDS Projects.
Both Env_Mapping & TexturedBlenderModelNDSRender working properly in NTR/TWL mode along TWL hardware, including GX DisplayLists + Normals + Vertices + Light sources + Texture Coordinates: Coto88 / toolchaingenericds / Commit c5aabeaee4d5 — Bitbucket / Coto88 / cgmodels / Commit 8114ae3e5f47 — Bitbucket

merge VideoGL 0.4's videoGL.h from latest TGDS1.65 into VideoGL 0.2 codebase : Coto88 / toolchaingenericds / Commit 117c7dd486a5 — Bitbucket / Coto88 / cgmodels / Commit 745442700173 — Bitbucket

fix TGDS Project + OpenGL on NTR/TWL hardware.

Note: Textures still missing on TGDSProject3D, it's got to do with another issue: Coto88 / toolchaingenericds / Commit 65e655754216 — Bitbucket / Coto88 / cgmodels / Commit d6ca4c158bb5 — Bitbucket / Coto88 / tgdsproject3d / Commit 761da9a51024 — Bitbucket

fix TGDS Project on TWL hardware, at least boots. But GX 3D hardware lockups due to polygon overflow, not much I can do about it.
Still working nicely on emulatorsCoto88 / batallionnds / Commit b4d052443e3d — Bitbucket

Batallion NDS (NTR/TWL) port fixed in real hardware (TWL):

Coto88 / batallionnds / issues / #3 - fix segfaults in real hardware (TWL unit) — Bitbucket

[Coto]

NDSDisplayListUtils (TGDS OpenGL driver) has been fixed on real hardware! (again). Working stable on TWL unit.

-Fixed OpenGL (1.0) Display Lists on GX 3D hardware.
-Fixed texture detection, any OpenGL call will correctly map 1:1 Texture offsets according to spec.
-Remove legacy VideoGL code (non standard OpenGL spec)

https://bitbucket.org/Coto88/cgmodels/commits/8fee6e40ae048f50c39956edcb3ea39bae52f297

todo:

• Port the fixes across TGDSProject3Ds.
• TGDS-unittest no longer has the OpenGL Display List utils code, it's in cgmodels/targetClientRenderers/NintendoDS/TexturedBlenderModelNDSRender now.
