Hello,

     As far as I know there's no maximum to the size of
the packet area you can set;
with SIZE_OF_PRIMITIVE defined as 24 (rough average),
248000 gives you room for 10,000 primitives
which is __lots__.

You can see how many your main loops are drawing
by counting the # of sprites, boxfs, lines,
polys (see tmd.c, tmd.h files in some SCEE demos
such as chrome, BTE, for a way of accessing
TMDs to find their info, or using RSDtool with RSDs)

GPU Timeout errors are apparently always caused
by dodgy packet data.

     Lewis
Just increase the size of the GPU packet area (not the OT), that will
 almost
 certainly sort it out.....
 Craig.
 See thats the only thing...my size is already 248000 adn as far as i
can see thats the limit....
