Hi! I recently got a SGI O2 from a friend’s collection as a gift. I managed to get as far as installing IRIX 6.5 on it as a fresh install, and loading up SGIquake so far.
However, I was trying to run ScummVM, and ran into a problem - I just can’t seem to get the program to open, no matter what I do. Double-clicking initially gave a file type error, so I tried running exec on it from the commandline - “exec scummvm” - with no luck. The console window just immediately closed.
So, based on a post here, I tried changing the tag to 0x0 - that fixed the file typing error when clicking on it, but it still just immediately seemed to close.
Looking at other programs, I feel like it’s most likely that it needs either some sort of prerequisites or command line arguments of some kind. The problem is, I have no idea how to figure out what prerequisites or arguments it needs, given that it’s only provided as a folder with the program’s files, and the only documentation for the program doesn’t seem to mention much for the IRIX port. I’ve seen this build working on other SGI IRIX systems, though - any idea what I could be missing?
