They had stuff, but it was all proprietary. The N64 was a stripped-down implementation of the technology used on (high-end) SGI graphics workstations of the time. SGI certainly had all the required tools.

The N64 SDK docs, if not the SDK itself, leaked at one point. I would expect that by now the whole thing has leaked long ago.

Come to think of it, it must have, because the bit-perfect recompilation projects are using the exact compilers from the SDK.

  • Yeah, the full SDK leaked decades ago when the system was still economically relevant to Nintendo.
