GXLoadNrmMtxImm3x3

• Category: Transformation and Matrix
• Matrix Status: Implemented
• Matrix Notes: Added missing API and verified direct 3x3 normal-matrix load path.
• Matrix Link: Gfx-GX-API-Matrix

Official SDK (Reference)

• Manual root: reference/rvlsdk/man/en_US/gx
• Primary SDK source area: demos/PikminDemo/src/gx (GC-style Dolphin GX source)
• Notes:
  • Confirm official signature/prototype
  • Confirm documented side effects (register/state updates)
  • Confirm special behavior and edge cases from manual

libPorpoise Implementation

• Runtime implementation area: src/gx
• Public API surface: include/dolphin/gx
• Notes:
  • Confirm API signature matches SDK
  • Confirm state writes match SDK semantics
  • Confirm backend behavior in PC renderer path

Validation Checklist

• GX demo coverage checked
• Pikmin usage path checked
• Matrix status updated if needed
• Notes updated with concrete file/function references

Working Notes

• Docs checked against reference/man/gfx/gx/Transform/GXLoadNrmMtxImm3x3.html and SDK source in reference/gx/GXTransform.c.
• Runtime checked in src/gx/pc_gx.c:
  • Accepts direct 3x3 input matrix and copies all 9 elements into the destination normal-matrix slot.
  • Marks modelview state dirty so subsequent draws consume updated normal matrix.
  • Uses GXPosNrmMtx-style slot mapping/validation for destination id.
  • Safe no-op on null input or out-of-range slot mapping.
• Result: function-level parity is correct for direct 3x3 normal-matrix load semantics; no runtime code changes needed.
