/usr/people/flexionSecond Reality on #IRIX WIP
Second Reality on IRIX now plays music!! st3play modified for big endian.
More scenes of the second reality demo now work on IRIX. Still many segfaults, bus errors and glitches left to fix.
"ten seconds to transmission!"

Well done. I'm stunned about how well the sound mixing went (as far as the (good) microphone recording allows to judge that). That's almost GUS hardware mixing quality.
The track is btw. done by Purple Motion, using the Future Crew's (creator of the Demo) own programmed tracker: The Screamtracker. Which heavily inspired the later Impulse Tracker.
This was one of the first "more than just 8 tracks" sound trackers, however the track we've heard here has exactly 8 channels.
The demo itself from summer 1993 run this smooth already on a 386DX with 25 Mhz . Which also means: No OpenGL back then, just setting pixel by pixel (for the most part). So I'm not surprised it runs this well at your powerhouse of a machine.
Is this also reassembled/recompiled (like Wipeout, you recently showed)?
Or do you use something like Dosbox here?

@herr_irrtum No DOSBox used here. The DOS source https://github.com/mtuomi/SecondReality was ported to a Windows32 release by Gargaj here: https://github.com/ConspiracyHu/SecondRealityW32 and XorJS ported it to Linux in C++ https://github.com/XorJS/SecondRealityPlusPlus
I forked this one to add required modifications for big endian and IRIX compatibility. It uses GL to draw to the window.
