poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 08/12/2025I'm very thankful for GCC's consistency when it comes to codegen, really. Which is why I'm quite surprised on the rare cases where this consistency disappears and codegen changes considerably. 🧵 132
poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 07/12/2025I really hate how GT5 has great tunes from the previous games (notably Prologue) that are just disabled everywhere by default for no apparent reason. Thankfully you can change that, unlike GTS where you're stuck with the Transmission mode playlist and no way to individually play each song. Why? 010

poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 14/10/2025I'm not very knowledgeable about modern SIMD, so I wonder if the PS2's SIMD capabilities (including parallel & VU instructions) still hold up to this day. 011

poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Last week, a major milestone was achieved--a matching decompilation of one of the IOP modules. These are little programs sent to the IOP (I/O Processor) responsible for interacting with peripherals (DVD, pad, etc). It is, to my knowledge, the first ever matching decompilation for an IOP module. 383

poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Despite always reaching its target frame rate of 60 FPS, not all of PTR2's code is well optimized. This example shows how a small oversight can waste CPU time on double-precision FP arithmetic, something that could've been fixed by suffixing a few 'f's. 🙂 040

poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 19/04/2025PaRappa the Rapper 2 has a hidden feature that outputs every frame of the gameplay onto BMPs inside of the devkit's hard drive. It was likely used for promotional purposes as the UI and other debug text is completely absent. Here's a portion of the first stage taken from all the outputted images. 140

poly @polyproxy.bsky.social · 23/11/2024I recently discovered this way of performing waits for DMA transfers on the PS2. Instead of polling for the channel control status, you can set the priority control register to output the DMA status to COP0 and poll from there, to save bandwidth. Quite an interesting method. 000
