Whenever the PS returns 'GPU 00H' that means that some part of the TMD
info was messed up.
There a lot of places this can happen, but I would say the most useful
thing to do is to write a
program to display the TMD data after you have loaded it.  I have a
funciton 'displayTMD' that you
pass a pointer to the tmd data (the same pointer that is in the GsDOBJ2
structure) and the number of
objects to be displayed and it runs through them displaying all of their
contents, as well as the addresses
of where the data is in memory.  It takes a little while to get running,
as you will probably have to
download the specs for the TMD data format from the web page, but once
you get this going, it
is an invaluable tool for pinpointing this type of error (among may
other things).

Good Luck :)
