WipeOut finally starts and renders on #IRIX Had to eliminate shaders, fix some memory alignment and other big endian issues. No textures yet. Still WIP.

@flexion
Super cool! But what am I looking at? Is that a PS emu? Source port?

We have wipeout sources?

Very cool?!

@hp wipeout source leak + rewrite.. see https://github.com/phoboslab/wipeout-rewrite and https://phoboslab.org/log/2023/08/rewriting-wipeout
I had to "downgrade" it to OpenGL 1.3 without shaders and POT textures for SGI.

@flexion Ohhh! Very cool!

This is probably not going to go well on my r4k indigo 2 I imagine? 😅

@hp LOL.. maybe when the Indigo2 has the 'Extreme' graphics option and TRAM. But I will see if I can add an option to start the game with textures disabled, as shown in the first video.

@flexion I do have the highest trim GPU iirc, maybe it'll work...

@flexion my last Irix machine was an Octane. I miss it so much. Occasionally I consider finding a new Irix system, but these days I don’t even know where the community is gathering.
