2. Programmer development environment

The recommended system of hardware and software required for development is shown.

Table 2-1 Hardware configuration list

tool	Model name	remarks
Development host	SGI INDY	CPU R4600SC, RAM 64MB or more, HDD 1GB or more, 24bit color, 20 inch CRT
	(IBM-PC compatible machine)	CPU 486 (66MHz) or higher, RAM 8MB or higher, HDD 500MB or higher, MS-DOS 5.0 or higher, MS-Windows 3.1
debugger	CartDev	GDI is used as the debugger software for SGI, and SNASM is used for the PC.
Development target	DevSaturn	Connect your TV monitor to Dev Saturn to see the video

Table 2-2 List of language tools for development

Classification	Tool name	remarks
compiler	GUI compiler	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)
assembler	GUI assembler
linker	GUI linker	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)
debugger	SNASM (PC) GDB (SGI)	Used in Sega 3D Game Library (SGL)

SEGA recommends the following development environments.

The GNU C language compiler is used as the development language. For the development host , use SGI's UNIX workstation INDY in a network environment , sandwich CartDev in the middle, and finally connect to DevSaturn including the TV monitor. The configuration diagram is shown below.
