Mame Indigo2 emulation. - bishopcop - 06-03-2019
Just a heads up, Mame's indigo2 emulation can install and boot to Irix 6.5 desktop. It is still very slow, but there has been some major progress recently. Made a snapshot of the desktop:

Please keep emulation to the emulation sections.

Nice to see that progress!

The latest GIT build allows use of a lower clocked 100mhz R4600 Indy, which runs a tiny bit faster. It also fixes the graphical errors above, I think.
I never managed to install Irix on a Indigo2 in MAME, though, as it crashed due to the HOSTID not being set (it seemed that setenv -f only worked on the Indy?)

Would anyone mind sharing a .chd image with 6.5 installed? Would also be helpful to know the exact ROM name that you used to boot it.

Use the indy_4610.bin rom, for the R4600 100mhz. It's smoother running (though in actual spec the slowest Indy).

This, please. Figured next time I would see that desktop would be in emulation.

I know this is an old thread, but is Indigo2 development done for MAME?

As of less than a month ago there was still no networking, graphics aren't 100%, and there's some rather serious input lag when typing and moving the mouse. And it's extremely slow. So I would say it's very much a work in progress still, as opposed to something like MacOS emulation which works better than the original machines in 95% of cases.

Perhaps I should have worded better... what I really wanted to ask is Indigo2 development over to perhaps focus more on the Indy side of things?
