Please don't use any RUclips contact features, I never read them. If you need to get in touch, please contact me on Reddit as a private message to /u/DodoDude700 or comment on one of my videos.
-- How I make my videos --
I use Final Cut Pro on my custom built Xeon E3 Hackintosh, and film with a Canon EOS 60D. I use a pair of large fluorescent studio lights for most of my work, but may use various other types if filming away from the room I usually film in. I have a really overfilled lab, which is usually where I dig up the tech seen in my videos.

I do not claim to own any of the trademarks mentioned in my videos. Some images may be obtained from third party sources. If you need to contact me for legal reasons, please use one of the above contact methods.
-- Music --
The music used in the Dodoid and Dodoid Advent Calendar 2016 intros is AdhesiveWombat - Bombs. The music used in the Dodoid Advent Calendar 2017 intro is AdhesiveWombat - Tinybit. Other AdhesiveWombat songs are sometimes used.
This video uses the song Pretty Lights - Forever Lost.
It’s been almost 2 years now, when are we gonna get some new information about D1?
Hey Dodoid! We wish to see your D1 project! What is the status? We want new software for our IRIX!
Damn Dodoid, that looks like a great idea for repurposing old Silicon Graphics machines! Keep up with the good work ;)
you're lucky to live in a place that SGI workstations are not as expensive as where i live, here in Brazil, a Silicon Graphics Indy, with a MIPS R4600 (just the workstation, not even the blue casing) goes for 2.316 USD but a indy on ebay (fully featured, with matching mice, keyboard webcam and software) goes for around 491 USD, way cheaper than where i live, i would try to import one, but shipping big things (even though not as big as a O2 or a Onyx) gets expensive because here we got a thing called alfândega that reviews imported packages, and reviewing the weight and caliber of the thing they can make you pay almost half of the price of the machine, well; hope you finish your project soon! ;)
Looking forward to this
Any news? We're in June and summer is coming...
any news on this? i literally cannot wait, just take my money already.. you seriously should do a kickstarter or something. one question though, will this be compatible with my octane 2?
Hi there!
Due to what I believe to be IRIX/IRIX64 differences, this is to my understanding only compatible with the O2 and O2+. This is because the chipset used by the SGI hardware I reverse-engineered to design its interface to the host system does not seem to work under IRIX64. Of course, if someone wants to give porting it a shot, they are welcome to, and someone with more knowledge of IRIX drivers than me may be able to get going with less effort than I expect. I actually haven't had to write any drivers here, as, like I said, it uses the same chipset as an official SGI card sold as an option in some O2s.
I have tested it in my Octane 1 with shoebox (the D1 is a PCI card), and I can confirm that it seems NOT to work. While figuring out why this is will require further testing, I suspect it is a 64 bit difference, as it works fine in the 32 bit O2. Of course, it is also possible that IRIX is simply set up to blacklist the card on non-O2 platforms, in which case there may be a software workaround. This is the sort of thing that someone more familiar with how IRIX handles these things might be able to figure out where I might just say "doesn't work".
One good thing about the D1 is that R5000 O2s, while slow on their own, should still be a perfectly usable system with a D1 installed (the performance of software on the D1 is not tied to the performance host system whatsoever, and "hybrid compute" tasks like streaming, transcoding, and scaling down RUclips H.264 video on the D1's quad core processor, streaming it back to the host as MPEG2, and rendering it with mplayer's "sgi" output on the O2's CRM chipset should still be feasible). That means that even if a possible buyer doesn't own a compatible SGI (or any SGI at all) right now, getting one shouldn't be too difficult or expensive, as cheap R5000 O2s aren't that pricey even on eBay, and they are relatively abundant.
As for Kickstarter, I have enough funding to develop this product. While crowdfunding campaigns are fun and exciting, they are ultimately a way to raise money for R&D and first production runs of a product, which is something I can comfortably fund off of Mini Indigo profits. I also have easily enough equipment to manufacture at the required scale (which is NOT large) in my own house, so there's no need to pay for a factory to make these things. This way, there is also less responsibility to backers if I opt to change something, if the product needs to be delayed, or if somehow I realize it just doesn't work (though all of these are highly unlikely outcomes at this point).
If you want one, no need to back a sketchy campaign. The D1's website will go up at dodoid.net/d1 a few days before the product launches, and when it does, you will be able to order one directly.
I should give it another shot in an Octane. It may be more trivial than I think. Perhaps I should ship some prototype hardware off to someone who knows IRIX drivers and offer a free production D1 to whoever gets it working first :)
What? Is that new software for existing irix? Or is it a new setup that is Irix like?
D1 is a hardware device, it goes in a slot on a real SGI with real IRIX. Software-wise, it does work alongside its included software tools, but it is not solely a software product.
This is awesome. Been out of the SGI hobby for a while now, but is there a website where one can get more involved with its development?
We miss you mate :'(
You made this? Holy shit.
HYPE! Now if only I had an SGI system...
Really glad to see this coming along! Looking forward to shouting about the final product from the treetops! 8)
What about this project? Is it a available ?
12/25/2018
still no news on the d1
can you at least tell us what hardware the d1 uses?
Make a video sweet Jeebus.
it is well past spring 2018
we're waiting
Good video man
You ever going to go make any e-waste center videos? I really enjoyed the 2k subscriber special one and I was hoping to see more
Once per year. Still a few more months to go unfortunately.
Dodoid ok. Sadly in my area all we have are target and best buy recycling "bins" wish I had those near me. Thanks for the news I'll be sure to check your channel once more in a few months!
I love this idea!
Thanks! I'll copypaste something I posted to Nekochan (which celebrated its fifteenth birthday today) here:
D1 is my fifteenth birthday present to Nekochan and to the SGI community. It's a new category of device, not a Mini Indigo successor. The video is a bit light on detail, but I hope I can have some more info for you (including maybe some prototype board photos of D1-PT-02 ;) ) soon.
Dodoid aww yeah
Just wondering, is this running that "Maxx Interactive Desktop"?
Read the About D1 screen shown at 0:11 :)
Well, colour me impressed. I'm guessing this runs as some kind of expansion card. Also, I wonder if you plan to integrate "xsettingsd" and/or "qt5ct" (tools for enforcing settings in GTK and Qt applications)?\
Also, I like how you decided to make that look like the SGI System Manager, albeit with your logo in place of the SGI logo.
no it doesn't MaXX Desktop
Nice apple like ad
Will be a compatibility layer or i'm wrong?
Read the details in the D1 Manager's "About D1" page at 0:11 :)
Dodoid Wow, i wait photos
The current D1-PT-01 development hardware is not to be displayed publicly, but D1-PT-02 hardware will probably be shown online. You might see some prototype pics, likely on Nekochan, in a few weeks.
I assume it's something along the lines of the SunPCI

pls tell me how you got firefox 6 running on irix..
thats firefox 37 or newer, 6 looked different. anyways you need a D1 expansion card to do that.
ESR 52.5.2 right now. Could run newer, just depends what you install. Yes, a D1 is needed.
What hardware is on the D1 and how does it even work?
There is a Nekochan thread where people are speculating, and I have chimed in a few times :) . Development hardware still under wraps (you must remember, it's not production ready yet and isn't going on sale until the spring), hope to have more details out about it in a couple of weeks.
And what is going on with Kronos?
s p r i n g 2 0 1 8
I am not trying to be mean or anything but this would have been cooler if this was made a longgg time ago when these computers were first out
A little late to the party, sir.
Can I run crisis 😂😂😂😂😂
Its past spring now. Are you dead???
no it hasnt not in australia maybe your in the northern hemispherre or i different zone
I guess summer doesn't technically start for another week but the northern hemisphere is time would be where to measure it as he's in Canada
