PART#2 of my ongoing N64 programming PRIMER series.
In this Tutorial video we are covering the "MAKEFILE".
In this series I will share N64 development tips as well as my Homebrew code. I will also review various N64 Demo's from the SDK, and will try and explain how the N64 code works line by line, and go through the flow of code from console startup.In this video PART#2 we review the "MAKEFILE" used as part of the many N64 SDK DEMO's and any homebrew code that you will be creating. This is an important file that is required as part of the ROM compile process.
If you need some help installing the N64 SDK and Libraries onto your Windows PC, there is a Video on YouTube you can watch that will guide you through this process....but read this note below first:
NOTE: Use this disk image link posted below instead of the one in the video. Reason to use this one is because it includes all the updated bells and whistles like demos and other assets.

In this video I give a brief show-n-tell of a Sega Saturn development Console, made by the company Cross Products. This console was used with the CartDev development kits.
For those that are interested in reading up on my old AssemblerGames posts relating to all the research I did for this Fujitsu connector: along with all the info I gathered... you can read the full forum thread from this AssemblerGames.org backup archive:

NOTE: This Video was re-uploaded due to a re-edit.
It was recorded back in 2016....hence the reference to AssemblerGames .
In this video I go through an UNBOXING of the
KmC PARTNER-N64PC Users Guide. (REVA version from 1997)
This is a manual for a specific piece of Development hardware used by Nintendo back in the Mid to late 90s for developing games on the Nintendo 64 console and also for the 64DD add-on.
The company that released this Development system was
KmC Kyoto Microcomputer Co., Ltd. They released two versions. One for the Windows PC entitle PARTNER-N64PC, and a second system for the Silicon Graphics INDY workstations declared as the PARTNER-N64NW.
The NW suffix stands for Network. This particular release housed a PARTNER-N64PC ISA interface card inside of small enclosure that was declared as the KmC Interface Box.
The KmC Interface Box had several interface Ports, including an IDC ribbon cable connector for connecting a PARTNER-N64 ROM Cartridge. It also provided a Local Area network connection and a female DIN socket for connecting a DC Power supply. I am looking for the English version of the PARNTER-N64NW manual...so if you know someone that has a copy of one...please let me know ASAP. :)D
The Indy Workstations would connect to the KmC Interface Box through a Network HUB. All communication between the INDY workstation was transmitted over Ethernet.
To this day, the PARTNER-N64NW AKA KmC Interface Box is considered the most Rare of all N64 development systems.

NOTE: This Video was re-uploaded due to a re-edit.
On October 20th 2020 I conducted a Full 35 minute interview with former Rare Ltd. Electronics Design Engineer Mark Green.
Mark and I discuss his time at Rare during the late 90s, and his time working on N64 development hardware. He talks in detail about the development of a Proprietary N64 development DRAM cartridge entitled N64DEV V3. Recorded on October 20th 2020 via Skype with Mark from his home office in the UK.
This was a colab video that I worked on with Tony from the YouTube Channel Hard4Games and was originally posted on November 14 2020. You can watch our collaboration video on Tonys channel at the link below:

![Export Blender 3D Models to N64 - Tutorial PART 5 of 5 [#52]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/jQNSehzmuyg/mqdefault.jpg "Export Blender 3D Models to N64 - Tutorial PART 5 of 5 [#52]
This is the Final Part#5 of 5 for my Blender to N64 Tutorial Series.
To watch all videos in this Tutorial series see the playlist link below:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzfrvtinRITtUfzQXCn009P7OcfwMI4h2
In this video I show you step by step how to use the various command line tools to generate the needed files to incorporate into an N64 Sample ROM source code project. I also review the source code showing you which lines of code need to be updated in order for you to successfully compile the sample ROM file. I then demonstrate the compiled N64 ROM running on an N64 console.
SPECIAL NOTE:
When you compile the modified Sample ROM Project, and the compiler creates the .N64 ROM file... it will likely be called sausage.n64. To change this to a name of your choosing simply edit the source file called makefile and look for the section of text TARGETS = sausage.n64 simply update this to a name of your choosing. (i.e: TARGETS = Robomech.n64 ) The next time you compile, it will generate the ROM as Robomech.n64. Just an FYI.
In this Tutorial Series I demonstrate how to use a special software tools package for Blender called Sausage64. This was created by user Buu342 from the N64Brew Discord server .
These tools allow us to export models and animation sequences created within Blender, into a file format (.S64) which we can use to create N64 display lists. We are able to activate the animation sequences within our own N64 Homebrew game or demo, using various commands provided as part of a custom Library.
