Irrelevant. I was talking about expectations towards programmers and people who know a bit about computers. It doesn't matter whose desire it is to find a specific solution. My argument stands: Every noob expects a computer geek to know everything about computers and to be able to handle every single computer-related problem just because he's a computer geek. On the other hand, those people would never expect a gardener to know every spot in every park in this world just because he's a gardener.
And by the way, don't bother anymore. I found it myself:
2726 case 0: 2727 cps1_render_sprites(bitmap, cliprect); 2728 break;
And no, it was not because of understanding the program or anything like that which includes actual useful learning. It was just by stupidly searching for the word "layer" in the whole source file. So, I didn't gain any actual knowledge from doing the search myself, it was nothing more but CTRL+F and some dumb luck because the word "layer" was actually used as a function name. Somebody just telling me the code line would still have been much more efficient. But let me still say: Thanks a lot for not helping me at all.
