That's great Thank you Could you take a screenshot of SuperTuxKart 0.6.2a with IRIX desktop for supertuxkart.de ?

Hi all

I'v succesfuly installed neko_supertuxkart-0.6.2a.tardist on my O2.
There was few warnings - but button "ignore and contiune" solves them.

After executing supertuxkart it take about 30 seconds to get main menu.
Sound and FX works. I dont see any graphic errors or something similiar.
Game itself is so slow (maybe 4fps) even clocks are slow in game...

While the zip downloads OK, there's an unnecessary __MACOS folder inside and the tardist itself is broken:

Code:

tar: tape premature EOF; may need to use -b option

Hi,

we have just uploaded a second release candidate. Major changes:

* Asian fonts are now included in the package.
* Several memory leaks have been fixed (which had caused problems with music and sound effects)
* Some tracks were improved to disable unintentional shortcuts and incorrect rescues.
* Some minor bug fixes.

Download for Windows, Mac OS X and FreeBSD: http://sourceforge.net/projects/supertuxkart/files/SuperTuxKart/0.7/

If someone had time to build an IRIX package?

We also updated the translations, but not all translations are complete yet. We encourage all translators to complete their translations, as the strings are now frozen.

STK 0.6.2a is on the cover of the Amiga Future 88 and a review is in the magazin:

http://www.amigafuture.de/kb.php?mode=article&k=3587

Testing and feedback welcome!

Are there any flags which can be passed to the Mipspro assembler to output little endian object code? I'm interested in the possibility of writing MIPS R3K little endian binaries for the original Sony Playstation (PSX) on my Octane2.

Thanks,

Mike

That's a good question and interesting idea. I also still have a Sony PlayStation (“PSX”) here and had roughly the same idea once. (In the past, before I owned any SGIs for that matter, I was mildly involved with PSX homebrewing with PC cross-compiling/assembling, linking, etc. tools.)

I don't have one of my SGIs powered on at the moment, so I can't check it myself; but, if one can produce a little endian o32 (COFF) format binary, then I guess there would be a chance? Maybe a bit of a long shot. I don't know (from memory) if one can still produce COFF binaries (since I believe that is what the PSX primarily/solely uses, last time I checked), with modern versions, but I do know that IRIX since around version 6.2 doesn't provide any library and run-time support for it anymore (under IRIX itself).

Besides the above, you also need to make sure that you build for a target without an MMU (and fit whatever you have in the tiny ~4 Mbytes of shared memory). But, that is largely of secondary importance until the above is sorted out.

Don't know about mipsel, but

SGI MiIPSpro cc manpage wrote:

-o32 or -32 Generates an (old) 32-bit object. (See the o32(5) man
page for option descriptions and details.) This defaults
to -mips2 if -mips1 has not been specified. See the
pe_environ(5) man page for information on the
COMPILER_DEFAULTS_PATH environment variable.

Although not a direct answer to your question I recommend to look at Mint 2.8 - a Mips emulator. I compiles under
Irix and little-endian Mips-based DECstations. Mint is an R3000 emulator and executes a Mips-binary by running it
snippet for snippet on the host processor. This is why the host processor has to be a Mips processor.
The source code for Mint 2.8 is available and I recently successfully compiled it with gcc 3.0 (gcc 3.3 and newer don't work).
Google for "fw_gcc-3.0.4.tardist" if you want to find gcc 3.0 for Irix.
I have attached two PDF-documents about Mint.

SuperTuxKart was just selected as one of the 9 project to compete for SourceForge's project of the month award in March. The actual decision is done by a public poll, so if you think that STK should win, please go to http://vote.supertuxkart.net , which will redirect you to the actual poll, where you can also see all competitors.
