Just in time. O2 RAM sticks are probably entering reproduction (but you didnt hear that from me :) )

It's a labor of love for me.

Greetings HN, As the current Nekonomicon steward, taking over the project from Elf, I finally added a "new section". Let me explain Nekochan.net was a famous SGI site that went down on May 21st 2018. Remember the day like it was y

Do not turn off environmental monitoring. That's for debugging only. That's how people are cooking the video cards. Please get your fuel /properly/ repaired by say weblacky on irixnet. The reason why? With env monitoring

SGIs that matter (MIPS, etc) IRIX only supports about OpenGL 1.2. It does have a fragment shading extension though: https://tech-pubs.net/reputable-archive/fragment_lighting.tx...

"We weep for the blood of a bird, but not for the blood of a fish. Blessed are those with a voice." Applies here. SGI hardware holds interest because "ooh pretty animations/GL". IBM is great stuff, but it's all

You could use the NVME driver to load the filesystem and boot the kernel diskless...

Nay, the N64 is pretty unique hardware-wise. Conceptually it's vaguely similar to the O2, the RCP is an R4000 fixed function CPU with some extra graphics instructions IIRC.

It runs like arse though. I'm working on some OpenGL stuff at least.

Your contributions to the Indy alongside Ryan's contributions were neat, truly. You plowed the road so others can navigate it. There's a rumor about a faster Indy emulator... but don't hold your breath yet. (Not a project I&#

Where do I start? If you want OpenGL demos, well, they exist. An example I made: https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-4796.html You want newer FOSS? https://nekoware.me Every quarter I update it.

Nice work Matt.

AFAICT Cloanto is milking Amiga, and Hyperion is actually updating OS 3.1/3.2 plus their OS 4 stuff.

I suppose that makes sense -- though SIMD seems more useful for accelerating a lot of crypto?

Question for those smarter than me: What is an application for an int128 type anyways? I've never personally needed it, and I laughed at RISC-V for emphasizing that early on rather than... standardizing packed SIMD.

A lot of good FOSS folks have died too soon. Joerg Schilling (cdrecord's author). He was a quirky, if genuinely talented fella.

by ThatGuyRaion 8mo ago
Yes and no. Cloanto isn't like Bill McEwen's Amiga Inc., but it's litigious towards Hyperion and several others. They're not good people. Another greedy corporation milking the corpse of Commodore. Absolute... jerks. Try

OPENLOOK is nice overall

Maybe "Early System V"? but even still that's a stretched token.

AIs borrowing from other AIs. Who could've thought!?

Gracias for the testing. I appreciate it. I mostly run BSD and GNU/Linux at home.
