Henrik RydgårdandClaude Opus 5.5 913777f948 SoftGPU: Sum matrix rows and combine matrices like the GE
Measured with gpu/probe (exp30, exp32, exp34, exp35, exp42), bit exact on
all of it (51911 points through general world, view and perspective
matrices, position and depth):
- The vertex position is truncated to a float24.
- Each product in a matrix row keeps the exact value truncated at a fixed
  bit weight, 2^-15 below the two inputs' exponents combined, so a
  significand product of 2 or more keeps a 17th bit.
- A row is one multi-operand sum: every product and the translation are
  truncated to the bit weight of the term with the largest exponent, added
  exactly, and the result becomes a float24. There's no order.
- World, view and projection are combined as (world * view) * projection,
  each entry summed the same way and kept as a float24.

The Coded Arms PSP replay gets worse (MSE 26 to 52). Its decals depend on
per-pixel depth, whose interpolation hasn't been measured yet.

To get to 100% compatibility, we will need a software renderer as there are games out there that do tricks
that can't really be faked in a sensible way. Useful for homebrew too that mix sw and accel rendering.
