in src/mame.h they merged the wrong declaration for variable crc_only...
it should be: int crc_only;
instead of char.

It's SOG, has good image quality, and at cost I can get it for $420.00.

Sum][one, in order to play arcade machines with xmame you need a collection of roms each in a zipfile to play the arcade. For instance a rom file pacman.zip contains about ten pacman roms and to run it just type
xmame pacman
if all is well it will fire up pacman. press 5 for inserting coins and 1 or 2 for 1 or 2 player games
NES, SNES, 2600, Vectrex, C64, MSX and more are all handles by xmess. I myself am interested in vectrex, so my commandline looks like:
xmess vectrex -cart webwars.bin
To play the cartridge webwars on the vectrex system.

I impressed my colleagues with tempest and Strikers 1945 at 5 fps
I'll attempt a fully optimised build tomorrow, because this machine will be serviced tonight. It's not impossible the fully optimised build is broken in 0.70, tho i think we can say 0.70.1 irix build is safe...

SGI's "Indigo Magic" (the current "Interactive Desktop") has inspired a Linux based project (IMD for Linux) which has released it's first beta. IMD's project goals are aimed at simplicity and high compatibility with SGI's implementation to bring about a powerful desktop environment for 3D and high end applications. As appearance is not the only portion imitated, it is expected that IRIX applications can be ported with only minor changes.
Eric Masson, the project's founder, gave an interview on the project some time ago that remains in Google cache.

I belive the R5000a had a differnt physical package, but if you want to fab a PCB a R5500 might work too.

iflimg is a small program that takes a single command line
argument, the name of a file ("outputFile.suffix", where
".suffix" is any supported ifl format) to write the graphics
results of the program to. As it is currently written,
iflimg draws a triangle on the screen and when the user
presses the 'd' key, will save that image into outputFile.suffix
using the ifl library.
The file type format is taken from the file name suffix, i.e.
file.rgb is an SGI rgb file, file.jpg is a jpeg file, etc.
Use the imgformats(1) command to see all the supported ifl
formats.
The code has a single function dumpViewport() that does the
work of grabbing the screen image and using ifl to write it out.
See "man 3 ifl", the specific ifl class man pages, and
/usr/include/ifl.

Is the MIPS Pro C++ compiler a pre-requist for this method? I assumed it is and so have been making arrangments to obtain a temporary license.
Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes next week.

oh and the tardist do not select the software by default
so you have to custom install it sorry.
