    Okay, so I've been playing with the N64 sdk for a while... but there is one thing I can't seem to find in the documentation, the format for the spec file.
    Here's a sample:
    Now I can kinda get a feel for what it's doing, but still, is there actual documentation somewhere in the kit that I'm just missing?

    That's the linker file. If you are using the exegcc compiler you can use it as-is. If you are using psyq you will need to rewrite it into psylink format by hand.

    But say I'm gonna write something of my own, is there a certain document describing the format? (I'm using exegcc, the Partner-N64 stuff)

    Look in the docs for info on the makerom tool. It's in there.

    I saw stuff on the makerom tool in allman, but I couldn't find the spec file format. I'll keep looking though.
