Hi there,

Just found this forum yesterday when I was searching for IRIX 6.5 image for MAME. I browsed tons of threads here and found this forum to be really informative.

I've been messing MAME's SGI support for a while, mostly fixing REX3 and MIPS3 CPU stuff, do tag me up for any emulation questions!

A little bit background of myself, I'm a Chinese student doing undergrad in Scotland. I've been playing MIPS processors for some years. I'm familiar with MIPS low-level stuff. I'm also contributor/maintainer/reviewer of some open-source projects, namely Linux Kernel and QEMU.

I'm currently doing part-time job on MIPS processors' design verification and software support, and I do have access to detail information about cores designed by MIPS Technologies (sadly the earliest one I have access is 4Kc, so not include any core used in SGI products but there are many aspects in common with R3000/4000/5000).

I'm considering get my first IRIX system. I should be able to purchase one from Ian since it seems like he is really close to me, but I'm not sure if those stuff can live with house moving since as undergad I have to move my accommodation year by year.

Nice to meet you all!
Thanks.
