Can anyone tell me how the display list works?

thanks

It's a list of 3D stuff, a u32 array.

It works in chunks, first 4 bytes that tell what commands are used, and then the data for those commands, often 4x4 bytes, but some commands require more data, some require none.

The first number, if you've looked at the examples, is the size of the display list, that is, how many u32's the display list data is.
