Game Dev on consoles (N64, PSX, Dreamcast..)

My question is about the development of video games for consoles, such as the N64, Playstation, Dreamcast... What ressources are used by those who program games for these consoles? Do they have to start coding at the instruction set level of those machines or can they straight up use C++ or another high level language? Is the developping environnement a PC? Are there software development kits that can be downloaded to start programming for the N64, Playstation or Dreamcast ? Any other info concerning game development for these games consoles would be welcome too. Thank you.
