They've been discussing this particular thing for the past 2 or 3 hours on IRC
already, so believe me it is being worked on ;)

[18:57] <@ector> shuffle2, it could be that we don't support an obscure gc gpu
feature that I've never noticed a game use before - if drawing indexed triangles, and
one index is 0xFFFF, that triangle dies
[18:57] <@ector> it could be that it draws all the spikies in one triangle strip but
uses these to "pause" it
[18:57] <@ector> so we get the extra triangles that look retarded
[18:58] <@ector> this is just a theory though

also, it should work with AA on now, too :)

Fixed work with DC too, thanks, just SPS remain

BTW, there is the hang issue in SMG, ZTP, ZWW, maybe other games in r3644, i've
compiled it with 3643's VideoCommon\Src\Fifo.cpp and Plugin_VideoOGL\Src\main.cpp
and hangs stoped, but no more DC working effect
and normal 3645 version doesn't hang in SC mode, only in DC

About the theory for the sps described above:
I have checked high and low...and zelda never sets any indexes to 0xff for 8bit or
0xffff for 16bit...NONE

gah, it took me so long to check...I was really hoping that was the problem :p

BTW, is there in ZTP some sings of this function, cause i trised and didn't see any
difference, but SMS has coreect Sun Glare effect now :D

in ZTP there is some projection issue(s).
if you use the "bleach vs crusade" hack, you can see the sun flare

Quick REAL ZWW lens flare screenie for reference

Also, it's either "LENS FLARE" or "SUN GLARE". Not the other way around :P

Go search google for a "Solar Flare" and see what I mean...

I tested this last night with latest svn. Duel core on. Still sps.

sps?

known as spikey polygon syndrome

lol.

the problem is resolved , i don't know in which commit but i ve tested with rev 4322
and the problem is gone

Fixed in last Revs

hmm, no it's not fixed, the polygons don't appear anymore since r4322, but they
SHOULD appear, though not the way they did obvisouly :P

Fixed really...use D3D plugin with the last revs and you will see a perfect sun.

Not perfect. Can't see the long rays

About long geometry rays
they were broken in 4322

Tested this a bit, and i know that issue is not common, for both Plugins it's on
their own
for OGL it was broken by changes in r4322 in
VertexManger.cpp and possibly in
VertexShaderCache.cpp and PixelShaderCache.cpp
in D3D still need to find, but i have another game that suffers from this code
