usage of ldscripts/mipsirx.xn... in iop-gcc

Anyone know why the contents of $PS2DEV/iop/iop/ldscripts aren't processed when using iop-gcc??? I'm in the process of evaluating switching from the "dreaded-broken combo EE-IOP C/C++ gcc3.2.2 version of about a year back (which I've used quite happily until I recently found some nasty and unpr...

I think we're in fine agreement here. Having monkeyed with supercomputers when they still occupied buildings and the cpu boards were immersed in liquid nitrogen (for speed, NOT for cooling), I can unequivocally say [at least] two things if you're a "plumber": 1. never touch the data. Don't...

Been working with an application which uses sdl-- graphics were messed up, so I tried the showimage sample in sdlimage (after having to wack on the makefile some). Tried with a variety of png and jpegs-- none work- the closest is one of the samples from gsKit's tests which displays in displaced chun...
