>RSP can have custom microcode
>nintendo's own microcode imposes severe limitations because muh pixel quality
>2 kinds of microcode, fast3D and turbo3D

>nintendo didn't want anyone to make their own microcode for several years
>didn't share the tools to write microcode until the end of the console's lifecycle
>tools were very simple, no debugger and poor documentation
>few developers wrote their own microcode (Factor 5, Boss Game Studios and Rare)
>custom microcode shown to be more efficient than nintendo's default microcode
