My HP 1702 works in 1280x1024 at 60Hz on my Octane2, after some fiddle (had to change to phase clock to sync right from its built-in gui). It does SOG and all I've got is a simple 13w3-VGA-adapter that I bought from deepspacecables on ebay...

Okey ppl, I succeded on compiling fceultra the nes emulator, runs decent on my Octane2... I'll check more on the code and then eventually upload a nekoware_fceu-tardist. Maybe in the weekend. Cheers :-)

Like many other ppl it was on a VR-class I first came in contact with the SGI IRL (I mean, Jurassic Parc might have been the first experience.... 'This is unix! I know this!' and the making of Toy Story)... So I thought they were pretty cool. Doing Maya 2.5 at O2's back in '00... The I got hold of an Indigo (hence my avatar) in '03 and then it start on coming to me... :-) I really like the MIPS-arch...

...use/have used street drugs?

The subject is kinda personal, I hope noone feel offended by it.

Among the swedish cream of hackers we have this saying: "Street drugs and computers - combining the best of two worlds."

It is indeed a nice game... What's next? Freeciv anyone?

Hi

Oh yes, it was a very good game. What a pleasureto find it again. You can find the original files here: http://www.abandonware-france.org/ltf-jeu.php3?id=603

Many old games are available on this site. I've read some times ago that they have asked the creators of the games if they could share them as abandonware... so it seems "legal".

Regards.

If you cannot compile it, don't go there as we say in England.

Add:

Code: Select all

RANLIB=":"
export RANLIB


to the .bashrc for compability reasons... This way we make sure no "home-made" Makefiles won't stall due to trying calling ranlib.

TO your C(XX)FLAGS add

Code: Select all

-D__inline__=inline

To get netpbm working do this:

Code: Select all

1) install "cvs"
2)
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/netpbm
cvs update -dP -D20050801
bmake reinstall
SGI Systems: R4K :Indigo: /256MB/XS-24, R5K 150MHz :Indy: /160MB/XL-24, R10K 175MHz :O2: /640MB, R12K 400MHz :Octane2: /Vpro6/1GB & R4K 250 MHz :Indigo2IMP: /128 MB/XZ Extreme/GIO64 FDDI

"It's a UNIX system! I know this! "
Add to mk.conf:

Code: Select all

INCOMPAT_CURSES+=       IRIX-*-*


Improves compability with IRIX-curses-libs.

Adding:
-D__inline__=inline
to your CFLAGS might improve compability too where __inline__ isn't redefined.

The latest working version of NetPBM is 10.29, from Makefile revision 1.125, 2005/09/20.

All of the 10.3x releases break because no pm_error symbol is defined.



And of course it's in graphics/netpbm.

When I spoke to Art Grabowski years ago, picking up my Indy from him, he told me someone in .se had code for the Indy it in his attic... They are kinda lazy with pushing the code to the trunk the OBSD'ers ;-) .

I'd want a specific MIPS section referring to everything MIPS: From the ABI's to the FPU. Pretty much Like the book "See MIPS run" but mixed with SGI/IRIX-stuff.

There is "Trusted IRIX (TIRIX)" for those who needs it, id est governments, educational institutions, banks etc... It's more or less an open secret that it exists and is audited.

Nowadays it id a well-known facts for enthusiastic SGI lovers that they used VxWorks (and even x86) for some works in their IRIX(!) development.

Does anyone have a rational description/idea why it was so?

Just to let you who are interested know about my project over here: https://github.com/nihilus/snowman/
