They got the N64 running on the MiSTer. So an indy should be possible, they're closely related systems.

I'd love an Onyx/RE on an FPGA someday. Next to my FPGA cray.

The CPUs are close, but the Indy is otherwise pretty different from the N64. Totally different graphics architecture, and - relevant to getting it on MiSTer - it’s a workstation rather than a video game console, necessitating quite a bit more complexity. I’d be really surprised if it could be squeezed on.

(Though, full disclosure, I said the same thing about the N64 before the core for it came out - the folks working on MiSTer are incredible.)

Huh. I had thought the n64 was basically an Indy xz graphics. What was the rcp closest to?

I was always confused why sgi didn’t throw the rcp on a pci card and dominate the pc graphics market.
