Hi everyone, I need some of the SGI versions of the N64 OS - 2.0H, 2.0I, 2.0J and 2.0L. If you have the corresponding SDK, that would be great too. I'm also interested in anything pre-2.0H, but the three above are my priorities. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
It was at least, to my understanding, that the Nintendo 64's were programmed using IRIX and a u64 board. they probably exist somewhere, but i've yet to find any IRIX installation media, only vague descriptions of a torrent that existed of Version 1 of the OS.
Yes, that was one way to program an N64, but it could also be done using the Partner-N64, or 3rd party devkits on either SGI IRIX machines or a PC. In any case, there are two sets of OS's - the SGI versions and the PC versions. There are a few versions of the N64 OS floating around - most are the PC versions, and a couple are the SGI IRIX versions, but not the particular releases I'm looking for.
I have something here labeled N64 OS 2.0K and it seems to be for SGI, but I'm not sure if it is what it says to be... do you have anything I can go by to check?
Unfortunately not (aside from any labels they may have), I just sort of compare new versions that I find with ones that I already have and see how similar they are to each other in order to sort them. If you got it off the net, then it probably is version 2.0K - that seems to be the most common one.
Just checked, it seems it's 2.0K and the corresponding SDK. I also found 2.0I (without SDK, though), and a way to check. Running strings(1) on the extension-less file (like ultra) gives a header like: Code: Ultra 64 Development Environment, 2.0I Tell me if you want them and I'll upload them. EDIT: Just realized you omitted 2.0K in your OP, whoops. The offer for 2.0I still stands.
Cool, I hadn't tried to search the strings in the file. Thanks! I actually got version 2.0I sometime between December (when I made this thread) and now. However, I've also learned since then that there were patches made to the different versions as well. I found patch 5 for 2.0I, so if you have any other patches for that or other versions, I'd be grateful.
Yup, I've got patch 4 for that, it's dated 1998/09/26. Here she is: https://mega.nz/#!5NA1gArL!xBURedZ7u2TMy0XiWfYwxTSu_GggoowV2k6-e4I5fZU
