Which one? I'm interested if it's a spotlight issue.

Missing laser pointer, in game selection.


Hello

In Model 3 hardware, shown in front of a 2D object (Cross)
Supermodel appears in the background 2D objects (bad)
Maybe it will help :)

I had a look at the ECA ambulance thing
Each ambulance seems to use a different viewport
I think it's using the blend tables specified in the viewports. But not exactly sure how this works

Harry did you have a chance to look at the missing head light in lost world ?
That one had me puzzled :)

Me too... honestly didn't dig it too much yet, maybe tomorrow I'll start dumping some viewport values and see what's going there. I want to check especially the start/extent values, because I'm still not absolutely sure to have correctly emulated them.

The odd thing is that in the original hardware all the viewport seems dimmed except for the headlight area, in Supermodel the scene is illuminated as it was entirely covered by that light. I suspect it's drawing a gigantic ellipse, so I'll check also those 16 bit width/height value.
