Yes, I saw that, it would have been really great if the source code had ever been released, instead I had to start from scratch…

My implementation does not require editing SDK headers and the goal was to support multiseg. If I had stopped at 32k single seg it would probably have been working. But I never got quite as far as being able to e.g. test libgcc, so who knows.

Click the second link. The source code is there. First comment. I only didn’t release it initially because I was really busy and sorting out a clean reproducible process to build it took too long. As soon as I was able to, I posted it.

And I have since made it not require any SDK changes.

Oh, how frustrating. I have no idea how I missed that since I feel like I spent quite a while looking for some later update that included the source. Well, thank you for making sure to release it! I did rewrite most of the Retro68 CMake code too, perhaps for similar reasons, so I can understand how that could have been a problem. At least the newer versions of GCC do not have race conditions in their Makefiles, unlike prc-tools-remix. :-)

The work I did was intended to eventually merge and live alongside the existing stuff in Retro68 instead of just blowing it away, with the hope that nothing like this would ever happen again to anyone else, but of course I failed to actually finish the work.
