3do flag: emits light

ok, so does this work? what exactly is this flag for, anyway? i put it on a 3do once and it didn't seem to make any difference.
also, while you're stopping by, what is gourad (sp?) all about?

* bump * I also want to know how to have 3DOs fully lit, regardless of surrounding light.

The lighting setting Gouraud, for surfaces, allows for your vertex lighting, like shadows and such, to be shown on the surface.
"Gouraud lighting calculates the colors at the vertices and then interpolates colors across the faces." (definition from: http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/visualize/chlight6.shtml ).
"In vertex lighting or 'gouraud shading' the light and color information is taken from each vertex and the lighting and color of pixels in between the vertices are interpolated." Taken from: http://www7.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q2/000427/geforce2-05.html

Anyone know why there are 3 Gouraud settings?
