As a workaround, some offsets were set on the table in OpenGL so that it would pick the correct entries. But, the LUT on the 3DS also has a mode called "two's complement" in which each half of the table is "wrapped" virtually across past the beginning and end of the table, but not across the middle of the table. This completely messes up the table in OpenGL, leading to completely different results near the middle of the table, causing things like dark spots in highlighted areas.

The video code was very interconnected using this interface, so despite people being aware of this, it was also extremely difficult to move code around and reorganize it, as it could very easily affect unrelated bits of code that depended on it. This was only compounded by the hardware renderer, as it was written much like earlier, slowly adding hardware support bit-by-bit to separate parts of the video code, simply falling back into the software renderer when disabled or not supported.
