Video of Project Genesis demo on IRIX (WIP)
Project Genesis demo now runs on IRIX 💎
Most of the porting work was done by Nuclear. I only fixed the 64 bit pointer stuff and some big endian changes for IRIX. It's not complete yet, one scene still doesn't render properly.
and SGINet installer for IRIX 5 finally also adds icons and a new tab to the Icon Catalog (iconbook) 🥳
Nice to see more people joining SGINet by registering their Silicon Graphics machines! 💕 We now have 78 machines in the list and five currently online.

@LAYERED mostly the hard way, build.. fail.. debug.. repeat. but sometimes using it for analysis, to help identify big endian related issues, which saves a lot of time instead of guessing.
In GTA we needed some help by AI to backport effects to fixed function pipelines, where we had a hard time figuring out how to achieve the same result on VPro and FireGL without shaders and limited resources. And even with AI help, it took countless hours to get it right and performant enough for old systems.. and it still needed valuable input by very experienced GL developers.
