GPU internal registers are written to through GPU commands. They are used to control the GPU's behavior, that is to say tell it to draw stuff and how we want it drawn.

There are three main types of registers :
* action triggering registers, which tell the GPU to do something, like draw a primitive (for example : [[#GPUREG_DRAWARRAYS|GPUREG_DRAWARRAYS]])

It is possible for multiple register (sequential) IDs to correspond to the same register. This is done to leverage the consecutive writing mode for [[GPU Commands]], which makes it possible for a single command to write data to multiple sequential register IDs. For example, register IDs 02C1 through 02C8 all correspond to [[#GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_DATA|GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_DATA]] so that a consecutively writing command based at 02C0 will write its first parameter to [[#GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_CONFIG|GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_CONFIG]] and ever subsequent ones to [[#GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_DATA|GPUREG_VSH_FLOATUNIFORM_DATA]]
