/me needs to figure out how to get ahold of 6.5.19f some how... :cry:


why do you want a feature release? it only contains unsupported software for sgi customers who want to live dangerously ;)
I'm a student studying my final semester of a Bachelor of Information System (BIS) Honours, at the University of Tasmania, Australia ( http://www.utas.edu.au ).

I have owned my O2 since 2000 (r10k 175Mhz, 256Mb, 9.1Gb, AV option), and prior to that I owned an Indy.

I use the O2 for my desktop system at University, which I use to connect to an SGI Origin 3400 (24x500MHz r12k, 24Gb, 3.5Tb) which belongs at the Unversity's high performance computing facility. Mostly I just use it for lamemp3, but occasionaly I do some work on it ;)

I have done an Advanced IRIX Administration course, in Melbourne last year. I am also doing an MPI (Message Passing Interface) course this year, so that I can put some more programming skills into the Origin. Hopefully I'll get around one day to putting my notes online for people to share.

When I'm not messing about with computers, I am a visual artist for local raves (see my photo gallery - http://www.semisphere.org/visology/gallery ) - which of course I use my O2 for (love the AV option!). I'm also into DJing in my free time, my favorite style being hard trance and progressive trance.
I take it that the xmame tardist doesn't just run "out of the box"

When I run it, I get the following output:

I know that I should RTFM, but could someone post up some quick steps to getting a game playing?
I named my o2 oxygen. Rather obvious, but I like it -> oxygen.infosys.utas.edu.au
