PowerPC #289

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is there no way to make it run with a PowerPC processor? Will you ever release 
a version that is 
able?

It is possible to make Mupen64Plus run on a computer with a PowerPC processor.  
The
main software errors which prevent this are endian-related bugs, which are due 
to the
fact that x86-type CPUs store data bytes in an opposite order from most other 
CPUs. 
There is an issue report including a patch to fix these type of bugs in the RSP
plugin, but there may be more bugs like this in other parts of the code.  I do 
not
have the hardware or time/motivation to fix this all up to work on big-endian 
CPUs,
but if someone out there did and gave us patches, I would certainly commit the
patches and support these other CPUs.
