N64 / DD64 ultimate resource thread :Tools, Docs, Source.

Thanks! Awesome! Great!!!!

Please share any documentation you have!
I have some incomplete N64 Docs in pdf format and am currently searching about the complete version of them! If you can and want, please post them here or PM me about them!

 

what docs are you looking for?

 

The Psyq installation requires a CD key...any hints? Currently trying to crack it, but considering the length of the whole password it will be hard...

 

Wow! Thanks ASSEMbler!

 

I have been trying to get my hands on the 64DD sdk for quite a time now, thanks

 

Thanks for sharing Assembler! I have some stuff too, but it's probably all common, but in case:

Hey, if i would be you i would zip those html files

http://multiftp.free.fr/z64/nu64docs/docs/

and put them in an archive...n64.icequake.net was almost shutted down because of them!

If you have an indy setup with a u64 board they will make an use to you...else....forget it.

 

It's in this format:

00-00000-000

all numbers...

 

They developed a Partner N network interface for being able to use a dev N64 + 64dd from both PC and SGI. Pretty cool.
On shiggsy's site is a picture of it.

The KMC interface Box should be it.

In the mean time : those are the pieces of Documentation im currently owning. Im searching for the rest.

Thanks guys!

 

Nice. Is Irix x86 compatible?

 

In the latest versions yes, but the U64 sdk is only compatible to the 5.4 version....im sure its compatible with some other version too (6.3?) but i have to check that.

 

Hey kammedo, can you make a list with what equipment you need for a (complete) N64 dev setup?

 

the indy is cheap, but the U64 board is certainly not=)

 

$20 for the Indy + xxx$ for shipping. That bitch is incredibly _heavy_! >_<

Well it depends from the kind of dev kit you want to setup...
Based on my researches you have three choices :

a) SGI Indy
Hardware :
*Indy
*U64 Board featuring 16 MB of on-board RAM
*Joyboard extention

Software :
*SDK
*Debugger

b) PC
Hardware :
*Modified N64 (KMC version -> have a look here if you dont have one and want to make one from a retail unit http://www.yntproject.net/HOWTO-KMC_N64.htm)
*Partner N cartridge
*PC interface card (either ISA or PCI - PCI is rare!)
Optionally :
*2 slot extension board
*64dd dev drive
*flash cart
*nu flash gang writer
*Sound cart emulator <- this one is basically a flash cart with 1M of RAM, dont know if it has any differences to a normal Flash card.

Software :
*SDK
*Debugger

C)Network unit (yes it exists)
Hardware
*Network interface
*KMC Nintendo 64
*Partner N
Optionally,
a 64dd dev drive
This last one can be used by both Indy / PC (being it in the network).

Now you clearly see that the N64 project, although having really really very much potential was mined from the start, as

a) a complete kit could cost you pretty much (Indys back then were Top-High End workstations!).
b) it was hellish complicated to set it up and use (u64 boards are very sensitive to heat - if the board gets too hot it will hang)
c) long load and debugging times!!

I dont wonder about the limited number of third parties developing on N64 at all anymore

you clearly see the hand of SGI in this whole thing too. I wouldnt wonder if Nintendo had to give up on some contract-base requests to SGI...

I have to write a doc about that. Will do in the next days I hope. Shouldnt take long.

did a little computing to find the pass.
ASSEMbler > is it ok to post it?

edit. lol seems to only work on the zip files

 

Wow! Great work!!!


How did you do it??

I tried to crack them with Advanced Archive Password recovery but didnt had any luck up to now...looks like the crack i used possibly corrupted the whole SW :cry:

 

Im confused, do we know the password for the zip file or not :S
