| Field | Role | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- |
|

## Register Effects
|
||
|
||
### `vrlimi128`
|
||
|
||
- **Reads (always):** `VB`
|
||
- **Reads (conditional):** _none_
|
||
- **Writes (always):** `VD`
|
||
- **Writes (conditional):** _none_
|
||
|
||
## Status-Register Effects
|
||
|
||
_No condition-register or status-register effects._
|
||
|
||
## Operation (pseudocode)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
; Pseudocode derives directly from the xenia-rs interpreter
|
||
; arm (see Implementation References). Operation semantics:
|
||
; - Read source operands from the fields listed under Operands.
|
||
; - Apply the arithmetic / logical / memory action described
|
||
; in the Description field above.
|
||
; - Write results to the destination register(s); update any
|
||
; status bits enumerated under Status-Register Effects.
|
||
; Consult the IBM AIX reference link under IBM Reference for
|
||
; canonical PPC-style pseudocode where xenia's expression is
|
||
; terse.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## C Translation Example
|
||
|
||
```c
|
||
/* C translation: the xenia-rs interpreter arm below in */
|
||
/* Implementation References is the authoritative semantic */
|
||
/* snapshot. Translate it line-by-line: */
|
||
/* - ctx.gpr[N] -> r[N] (or f[]/v[] for FPRs/VRs) */
|
||
/* - mem.read_u*/write_u* -> mem_read_u*_be / mem_write_u*_be */
|
||
/* - ctx.update_cr_signed(fld, v) -> update_cr_signed(fld, v) */
|
||
/* - ctx.xer_ca / xer_ov / xer_so -> xer.CA / xer.OV / xer.SO */
|
||
/* The Register Effects and Status-Register Effects tables above */
|
||
/* enumerate every side effect a faithful translation must emit. */
|
||
```

## Special Cases & Edge Conditions
|
||
|
||
- **Rotate-left-word + mask-insert in one step.** `VB` is rotated left by `IMM & 3` word positions (word-granular, 0..3 — not bits). The resulting rotated vector is merged into the pre-existing `VD` under control of a 4-bit "insert mask" (`fmask`, from bits 26–29 of the encoding in xenia's layout): mask bit `i` = 1 keeps lane `i` from the rotated `VB`; mask bit = 0 keeps lane `i` from the old `VD`.
|
||
- **Destructive destination.** `VD` is both source and destination — software must preserve its value or pre-initialise it.
|
||
- **Typical use: selective-lane overwrite.** Games use this to "rewrite lane `n` of a vector with a shuffled component" without a full permute. A common pattern is "insert a scalar into lane `i` of a vector" where the scalar has been pre-loaded to a known word of `VB`.
|
||
- **Mask bit ↔ lane mapping.** Big-endian: mask bit 3 (MSB of the 4-bit mask) controls lane 0; bit 0 controls lane 3. (In xenia: `use_rot = (mask >> (3 − i)) & 1`.)
|
||
- **VMX128 register-fusion** on `VD` and `VB`.
|
||
- **No IBM AIX entry** — Xenon-only.
|
||
- **No `Rc`, no XER, no VSCR.**

## Related Instructions
|
||
|
||
- [`vrlw`](../vmx/vrlw.md), [`vrlw128`](../vmx/vrlw.md) — per-lane bit-level rotate (word-granular shift, not lane-granular).
|
||
- [`vpermwi128`](vpermwi128.md) — immediate 4-way word permute (no merge).
|
||
- [`vsel`](../vmx/vsel.md), [`vsel128`](../vmx/vsel.md) — general bit-select; `vrlimi128` is the specialised "rotate + insert" equivalent.
|
||
- [`vsldoi`](../vmx/vsldoi.md) — byte-level immediate shift.
|
||
|
||
## IBM Reference
|
||
|
||
- No IBM AIX entry — this instruction is exclusive to the Xbox 360's VMX128 extension. The mnemonic is an adaptation of the scalar `rlwimi` (rotate-left-word-immediate-mask-insert) pattern for vectors.
