+## Render / ROP system (`display/render/`)
+
+The ROP (Render OPcode) system is the low-level, backend-agnostic drawing API. All game drawing goes through this layer; backends (`rendergl.c`, `renderpsp.c`, `renderdolphin.c`) execute the commands at display flush time.
+
+### API (`display/render/render.h`)
+
+```c
+/* Clear the framebuffer */
+void renderClear(color_t color);
+
+/* 2D textured quad at pixel coordinates */
+void renderSprite(
+  int16_t x, int16_t y, int16_t w, int16_t h,
+  int16_t depth,                       /* 0=front … 32767=back */
+  rtexture_t texture, color_t tint
+);
+
+/* Set perspective projection for subsequent 3D draws */
+void renderSetProjection(
+  fixed_t fovY, fixed_t aspect, fixed_t nearZ, fixed_t farZ
+);
+
+/* Set camera position/target for subsequent 3D draws */
+void renderSetView(
+  int16_t eyeX, int16_t eyeY, int16_t eyeZ,
+  int16_t tgtX, int16_t tgtY, int16_t tgtZ
+);
+
+/* World-space quad: center point + right half-extent + up half-extent */
+void renderQuad3D(
+  int16_t cx, int16_t cy, int16_t cz,
+  int16_t rx, int16_t ry, int16_t rz,
+  int16_t ux, int16_t uy, int16_t uz,
+  int16_t depth,
+  rtexture_t texture, color_t tint
+);
+
+/* Create / dispose an 8-bit indexed palette texture */
+rtexture_t renderTextureCreate(
+  uint16_t w, uint16_t h,
+  const uint8_t *indices,    /* w×h pixel indices (0-255) */
+  const color_t *palette     /* 256 RGBA colour entries */
+);
+void renderTextureDispose(rtexture_t tex);
+
+/* Mutable pointers to the texture's CPU-side data.
+ * Write directly to these; the next draw call picks up the changes.
+ *   GL:      dirty flag set on getter call; glTexSubImage2D at next bind.
+ *   PSP:     re-pads indices and converts palette → ABGR at bind time.
+ *   Dolphin: re-tiles CI8 and converts palette → RGB5A3 at bind time. */
+color_t *renderTextureGetPalette(rtexture_t tex);  /* color_t[256]  */
+uint8_t *renderTextureGetIndices(rtexture_t tex);  /* uint8_t[w*h]  */
+```
+
+### Coordinate conventions
+
+| Domain | Type | Scale | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 3D world positions | `int16_t` | 1 unit = 1 cm | Matches PS1 GTE / N64 RSP native format |
+| Camera/projection params | `fixed_t` | Q24.8 | `FIXED(x)` for literals |
+| 2D screen positions | `int16_t` | pixels | Origin top-left |
+| UV coords | `uint8_t` | 0–255 → 0.0–1.0 | Stored in ROP structs |
+
+### Palettized textures
+
+All textures are 8-bit indexed. `renderTextureCreate` takes:
+- `indices`: one `uint8_t` per pixel (0–255), row-major
+- `palette`: exactly **256** `color_t` RGBA entries
+
+**Per-platform storage:**
+
+| Platform | CPU source of truth | GPU/native format | When derived |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| GL (Linux/Vita) | `color_t palette[256]` + `uint8_t *cpuIndices` in slot | `GL_R8` index tex + `GL_RGBA` 256×1 palette tex | Lazy: dirty flag set by getter, `glTexSubImage2D` at next bind |
+| PSP | `color_t palette[256]` + unpadded `uint8_t *cpuIndices` | Stride-padded indices (POT ≥ 8) + ABGR8888 CLUT in shared `pspAbgrBuf` | Every `bindTexture` call; dcache-flushed before GU reads |
+| Dolphin/GC/Wii | `color_t palette[256]` + unpadded `uint8_t *cpuIndices` | CI8 tiled (8×4 tiles, 32 B/tile) + RGB5A3 TLUT in `tlutData` | Every `bindTexture` call; `DCFlushRange` before GX load |
+
+**GL palette shader detail**: The fragment shader samples the R8 index texture, converts the normalised float back to an exact texel centre with `raw*(255/256) + 0.5/256`, then looks up the 256×1 palette texture. This gives pixel-exact results for all 256 index values and allows independent real-time updates to indices or palette.
+
+**Dolphin RGB5A3 encoding**:
+- Opaque (`a == 255`): bit 15 = 1, RGB555
+- Transparent: bit 15 = 0, A3RGB4 (alpha quantised to 3 bits — dithered transparency is planned for a future pass)
+
+### ROP buffer (`display/render/ropbuffer.h` / `rop.h`)
+
+Commands are written into `ROPBUFFER` (a static byte array) then replayed by the backend at flush time. All ops are fixed-size aligned structs:
+
+| Op | Struct | Size |
+|---|---|---|
+| `ROP_CLEAR` | `ropclear_t` | 32 bytes |
+| `ROP_DRAW_SPRITE` | `ropsprite_t` | 32 bytes |
+| `ROP_SET_PROJECTION` | `ropprojection_t` | 32 bytes |
+| `ROP_SET_VIEW` | `ropview_t` | 32 bytes |
+| `ROP_DRAW_QUAD_3D` | `ropquad3d_t` | 64 bytes |
+| `ROP_DRAW_TILEMAP_CHUNK` | `roptilemapc_t` | 32 bytes |
+
+`ropOpSize(op)` returns the byte size for any op. Backends iterate with `offset += ropOpSize(op)`.
+
+### Texture handles (`display/render/rtexture.h`)
+
+`rtexture_t` is a `uint16_t` index into the platform's texture table. `RTEXTURE_NONE` (0 or a sentinel) means "white fallback". Tables are platform-static; handles are valid until `renderTextureDispose` is called.
+
+### Tilemap chunk handles (`display/render/rtilemapchunk.h`)
+
+`rtilemapchunk_t` is a `uint16_t` index into the platform's chunk table. `RTILEMAPCHUNK_INVALID` (0) means no-op. Chunks are pre-built at map load time; each backend constructs its native draw structure once (VAO+VBO on GL, display list on PSP/GX/N64) and the ROP entry costs only a handle lookup + single native draw call per frame.
+
+```c
+/* Build once at map load */
+rtilemapchunk_t chunk = renderTilemapChunkCreate(
+  chunkW, chunkH,     /* size in tiles */
+  tileW, tileH,       /* pixels per tile */
+  tileset,            /* rtexture_t of the packed tileset */
+  tileIndices         /* uint8_t[chunkW*chunkH], row-major tile indices */
+);
+
+/* Each frame for visible chunks */
+renderTilemapChunk(screenX, screenY, depth, chunk);
+
+/* At map unload */
+renderTilemapChunkDispose(chunk);
+```
+
+Animated tiles should be drawn on top as separate `renderSprite()` calls; the chunk itself is treated as static geometry and never rebuilt at runtime.
+
+**Per-platform build:**
+
+| Platform | What's built at create time | Draw cost per frame |
+|---|---|---|
+| GL (Linux/Vita) | VAO + VBO (`GL_STATIC_DRAW`), `uOffset` uniform translates to screen pos | 1 `glDrawArrays` |
+| PSP | GU display list in uncached EDRAM | 1 `sceGuCallList` |
+| GC/Wii | Compiled GX display list | 1 `GX_CallDispList` |
+| PS1 | Pre-linked POLY_FT4/SPRT chain | Linked into OT at one slot |
+| N64 | RDP display list with pre-scheduled `LOAD_TILE` batches (TMEM-aware) | 1 `gSPDisplayList` |
+| Saturn | VDP2 plane config + VRAM tilemap data | Scroll register write only |
+
+---

 ## Initialization order
 
 Within the display system, init must follow this order (enforced in `engine.c`):

+## Unused parameters
+
+Do **not** use `(void)param;` casts to suppress unused-parameter warnings. They are
+redundant noise. If a callback signature is fixed by a function-pointer type and the
+parameter is genuinely unused, just leave it — do not suppress:
+
+```c
+// correct — parameter unused, no cast
+errorret_t sceneTestUpdate(scenedata_t *data) {

 Each subsystem exposes a single global instance declared `extern` in the header and defined (once) in the `.c` file:
