what an amazing project, I was wondering if its fast enough to run some opengl or irrlicht demo's does it have opengl support even if only 30 fps mesa support.

tinycorelinux is probably the fastest would be neat to have a port for n64 or an emulator running in something like qemu. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nintendo-64-Linux-2020-Port shows the hardware being used SGI coprocessor 100mhz for main processor 60mhz for 4 mb graphics card.

There is no opengl support. The hardware predates opengl.

mesa software rendering should still work in that case.

You're welcome to try. It's likely to require significantly more RAM than the hw has.

maybe virtual ram or fsram could help us with that.

netpipe sounds like you are talking about swapspace where you exchange diskspace for memory
