GMAKER
« on: June 04, 2007, 02:19:05 AM »
A friend of mine has uploaded the image of the Gmaker CD to Wikifortio - http://www.wikifortio.com/489359

My friend isn't too familiar with ISOs and that kind of stuff, he tells me he used "Roxio Creator" to do it so the image may or may not be compatable with everyone else's programs. He also took an Image using Alcohol 120% which made a MDF and MDS files so could upload them if anyone is interested. I'm sure if anyone suggests any other free ISO burning programs then he could do it with that.

Gmaker is a SDK/collection of tools for the PC-FX which is pretty rare, so perhaps this could be of use to some people or just to have a play with.
Compatable with "MS-DOS Ver6.2, Ver5.0A, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95." Presumably the DOS/V and Win/V versions of DOS and 3.1. (Windows 95 > is truely multilingual) Works on Vista so presumably works on 98, 2000, XP etc.

In 1996 NEC released GMAKER which is a full blown Software Development Kit making possible for enthusiast and/or professionals to develop PC-FX/GA games, here is the official statement from NEC at the time:

“During fiscal year 1996, NEC made further progress in the development of multimedia products…

NEC introduced the GMAKER STARTER KIT software, which, when used with the PC-FXGA game accelerator board, enables the development of software for the PC-FX, NEC’s 32-bit video game unit. Providing all the technology and information necessary for anyone with a PC to develop their own software, the kit has opened up to individuals an area previously limited to specialist software houses.”
