This page describes the GX commands which can be written to GSP shared memory. After writing the command data to GSP shared memory, TriggerCmdReqQueue must be used to trigger GSP processing for the command.

When non-zero GSP module may check flags for the specified cmdID, command handling is aborted when the flags are set.

The command is located at cmdbuf + 0x20 + cmdindex*0x20, the size of each command is 0x20-bytes. The command parameters are located at command+4. Addresses specified in parameters are application vaddrs, these are usually located in either the application GSP heap or VRAM.
