-- Disable uprender on the draw command which samples the framebuffer (0x3200) using bilinear sampling (texMode=2)
-- All lighting effects use TriFan prim type, so use that as well to filter against.

-- Bug#9277
-- Shorten the timeout period for some particular execution command(s).
-- When entering the crane, some instruction is executed with a wait period of 0x7333.
-- Shortening the wait period to 0x4000 it.  Note that 0x5000 is enough to fix entering the
-- crane once, but a more aggressive value was needed for subsequent entry into the crane.
