Very cool to see, so pointless it just had to be done.
I was wondering how it was squeezed into 64KB of RAM but it uses the 4MB on the Everdrive cart. With that it makes sense, considering Linux can run on an N64 with 4MB of RAM.
- ChrisRR 3mo agoRAM is hardly the only difference between the N64 and megadrive. The N64 has an MMU for one thing
- mghackerlady 3mo agoin terms of running linux, yeah it kinda is. Both archs are supported by the kernel, and the kernel doesn't need an MMU if you compile it for a system without one
- dosisking 3mo agoNo, OP is correct, you are wrong. N64 hardware is much more powerful, and the MMU makes a big difference.
- mghackerlady 3mo agoI'm not denying it makes things easier. But if the question is a binary "Can it run linux?", the flowchart is pretty much "what kind of cpu does it have" and "how much ram can it use"
