    I've been trying to help Kammedo find some docs in my collection, however I can't find where I placed them.

    I need any microcode / docs about the N64 co-processor "gpu".

    Specifically abouthow the vector units work.

    Many thanks.

    Is this in the SDK? I think I may still have this somewhere.

    Pretty sure marshallh has a copy, too. I'd ask him.

    Its Assembler related, not high level. My problem is that Im 2000 km from home and my N64 hardware, and need information on some RCP vector opcodes.

    kammedo could you please tell me what are you actually up to? your interest is not just the one of a collector, right?

    Grab the mame source from http://mamedev.org/downloader.php?&file=mame0124s.zip



    These files probably have enough to get on with.
    src\emu\cpu\rsp\*
    src\mame\video\n64.c

    You could also look into the other N64 emulators which are open source, like nemu, PJ64 1.4, 1964 etc.!
