It's not currently possible to emulate the Crimson and will not be for a very long time. You see, the Crimson is undocumented and muh more complex than an Indy. I think you'll also be disappointed it's not much faster than an Indy. Emulating of a VGXT or RE boardset will be even slower on modern system.

The MAME devs don't frequent this forum, so this is not a good place to beg.

The Crimson is listed on MAME but the VGXT or any of the other boardsets are not currently implemented. Don't believe me? Ask the MAME devs

Raion is right. Some of the machines in MAME are not fully implemented. The Indy R4600 is pretty close though and it runs IRIX 5.3-6.5.22 and honestly outside of very niche software specific to that machine like demos the user experience will be no different. 

These are the drivers in 0.222. Not all of them work. Some of them won't even load the PROM correctly. You can try messing around with them though and see how it goes.

Yes, I just confirmed from MogMiner:

The "Crimson" CPU of course implemented, granted it being the same as the Indy. There is no graphics boards for the Crimson and no active driver in any release. However, tyfighter (a MAME dev) is apparently working on a power series emulator (basically the server version of the Crimson) but that's not to hold your breath.

Preferably Mr. Blurple you can not spam the forum with posts that don't add much or are low-effort posts for humor reasons, are poorly formatted or rambling.
